Dark mode that actually reads, built in. Toggle from the menu or set it to follow your system's light/dark schedule.

Horse Browser has a dark reader built in, no extension, no third-party permissions. Sites that have their own dark mode get left alone; sites that don't get readable dark styling applied on top.

Dark Reader options in the Settings page of Horse Browser

Turning it on or off

Menu > View > Enable Dark Reader (or Disable Dark Reader when it's on).

Following your system theme

If you'd rather Horse switch to dark mode automatically when your operating system does:

Menu > View > Match Dark Reader to system theme

That way, an evening shift in macOS or Windows takes Horse with it.

In Settings

All three options are also in Horse > Settings (⌘ + , on Mac, Ctrl + , on Win/Linux).

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.
