How to use Horse Browser without losing your place. Trails, sidebar navigation, shortcuts, and the small features that quietly hold your thinking together.

398 words by Eleanor McKeown & Pascal Pixel

This is the manual for Horse Browser. Horse doesn't work like the browsers you grew up with, and most of the questions people have come from that gap. The pages below close it.

If you've never opened Horse before, start with Getting Started. It's a five-part walk-through covering install, Trails, the sidebar, Areas, and how to keep your work safe across updates. You don't need to read every word. Skim it and come back when something specific stops making sense.

If you're already using Horse and you're here because you want to do one specific thing, the rest of this page is the index.

Sencha tea leaves and brewed tea

Sencha tea leaves and brewed tea

Sencha (煎茶) is a type of Japanese ryokucha (緑茶, green tea) which is prepared by infusing the processed whole tea leaves in hot water. This is as opposed to matcha (抹茶), powdered Japanese green tea, where the green tea powder is mixed with hot water and therefore the leaf itself is included in the beverage. Sencha is the most popular tea in Japan.
Types of sencha

The types of sencha are distinguished by when they are harvested. Shincha(新茶, "new tea") represents the first month's harvest of sencha. Basically, it's the same as ichibancha(一番茶, "first tea"), which is the first harvest of the year.

Kabusecha (かぶせ茶) is sencha grown in the shade for about a week before harvest. Asamushi (浅蒸し) is lightly steamed sencha, while fukamushi (深蒸し) is deeply steamed sencha.

Production

Sencha tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. The leaves are steamed, rolled, and dried immediately after harvest to prevent oxidation. This process preserves the fresh, grassy flavor that sencha is known for.

The steaming process used in making sencha is what differentiates it from Chinese green teas, which are typically pan-fired. The duration of the steaming process affects the final taste and color of the tea.

Brewing

Sencha is typically brewed at lower temperatures than black tea or oolong tea. The ideal water temperature is usually between 60–80°C (140–176°F), with brewing time ranging from 1 to 2 minutes.

The tea can be brewed multiple times, with each infusion revealing different flavor notes. The first brew tends to be more astringent and fresh, while subsequent brews become milder and sweeter.
