Learn how to use organization features in Horse Browser. A guide to Areas, Folders and Notes
In our last post, we shared how to turn Horse Browser into your own productivity system. Now we’ll be diving a little deeper on this topic and introducing you to Areas, Folders and Notes and how to use them. These are super useful tools for organising your online research and making notes along the way.
What are Areas, Folders and Notes?
Folders, Areas and Notes are three different types of Trail.
An Area is a Trail with a dedicated header, which acts as an umbrella container for a specific Area of your life or work. You might create an Area for your freelance projects, another Area for your personal admin and another Area for your day job. Areas can contain Trails, Folders and Notes.
A Folder is a Trail that begins with a Folder so you can create a clear filing system for your research and pages.
Notes are Trails that contain note-making so you can write and make notes directly in Horse Browser.

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.
