I pulled out a Upton Tea sample that someone gave me in a swap… Chinese Sencha, sounds good you know? Well, I began to be skeptical when I saw the date: processed February of 2012. Maybe I thought too much of it, but three year old sencha seems outdated to me… but I actually don’t know and I’m being too lazy to look it up on Google. This tasted a bit too strong with a wildness to it that didn’t seem to be its desire to give to my taste buds. I only brewed it for 60 seconds in 24ounces so I don’t think it was my steeping.
