This is a nice mellow tea that has almost a powdery mouthfeel. The color is a lovely deep green and the depth of flavor is really nice if oversteeped (which I always do with green teas. I’m sorry?). This tea is nice when you just want to relax. I take it with milk — but that’s just me. I think that the milk brings out some of the softer notes from this sencha, which is the only kind of sencha I can find in my town (in the International store, which is seriously the most fun store where I live). This tea is perfect in spring and autumn, especially when oversteeped and with milk.
