This is my answer to Ashmanra’s prompt of Tea From Your Largest Tin.
Got 100g of this one as T2 was closing up it’s US shop. I normally would never get such a large amount of a flavored Chinese sencha, but the flavor struck me right in the nostalgia. Never have I added something to my cart and purchased it so fast lol. Ever since I finished my bag of Lupicia’s Tochitome green, I haven’t been able to find it ever again. I still think of how incredibly delicious the combo of strawberry + sencha were and how much I miss that tea! When I saw that the flavors of this tea are strawberry and cream, I said Sign me TF up!
I tried this hot before making it as a cold brew, which is how I plan on drinking the rest of it down this summer. Hot brew was crisp, creamy, and sweetly strawberry, heavy on the berry. Not very refined, but a decent cup of flavored green. I wouldn’t revisit this tea hot most likely, but I’ve already gone through over 30g in cold brew. I see myself finishing this one fast.
Flavors: Berry, Freshly Cut Grass, Strawberry, Whipped Cream

I love Tochiotome as well, it’s actually a spring seasonal tea and sadly you just missed it on the US website. :(
They have a Strawberry & Vanilla green tea that’s a core tea and I remember it being fairly tasty too. It uses a different base though, that’s more similar to Chinese sencha.

No way :( I looked a couple years back too, and it had sold out already! Booo
