Matu drank Hachimanjyu Yakushima Tea: Organic Yakushima Premium Sencha by Yunomi

485 tasting notes

A high quality sencha. I enjoyed it brewed with the warm water method Yunomi has on their site. Long first steep at low temp led to very deep and strong tasting first cup with succulent, sweet grassy notes and good umami as well. Subsequent steeps were grassy, with echoes of that umami that faded as I got more steeps from this tea. I was able to pull five decent steeps out of it – good longevity for a sencha in my experience.

Flavors: Grass, Sweet, Thick, Umami

Preparation

140 °F / 60 °C 2 min, 0 sec 5 g 4 OZ / 118 ML

Bio

A bit about myself: 22 years old, college grad (Double major in Anthropology and History). I plan to make a career of archaeology and hopefully travel (much of) the world in my days.

I enjoy many things aside from tea, including gaming, mixing cocktails, reading, watching anime, and painting miniatures.

My favorite type of tea is sheng puerh. Particularly younger stuff, if only because I haven’t gotten the chance to taste much of anything aged. I also really like oolong (Taiwanese, Wuyi, Dancong, etc.) and Japanese Green Teas. I do also enjoy most other kinds of tea, but they aren’t what I normally buy. I’m not a huge fan of shou puerh, black tea, or flavored blends, with few exceptions.

I really like interacting with the tea community, so if you ever want to talk or swap teas or anything, feel free to shoot me a message or something. Follow me and I’ll follow you back. Probably ;)
