I woke up to a sunny and temperate day that just cried out for a springlike tea. I chose this one based on the light, grassy smell of the dry leaf and the fact that I lurve sencha. I made it in my travel mug, so I can’t speak to brew scent or color. The taste was fab though. Reminiscent of freshly cut grass. Perfectly springlike. I look forward to trying this gong fu style.
