Haha, wow!
Grounding, stimulating yet calming, refreshing. It’s like an overlay of three California environments — the Montara Mountain trailhead eucalyptus grove saturated with early evening fog; a sunny Oro Blanco grapefruit grove in southern California; the cool coastline with scattered tangles of sea vegetation.
If you like eucalyptus, flowers, grapefruit peel and a strong aftertaste, please give this a try. I never would have expected such a profile from sencha.

This company should hire you to write tasting notes! These teas all sound great, in spite of the fact that I don’t gravitate toward Japanese greens.
Thanks. It’s difficult to put into words an experience and to assemble subjective complexities into a cohesive description. Thés du Japon has very good teas. I never appreciated Japanese teas until ordering from them.
derk: I rarely find good words for the experience as well. Moreover, translating it to English. Sometimes it soudns great in my language, but feels “boring” in English. So, yeah… making cohesive and complex review is often hard. But you did well here!

I second that!

Some things just need to be taken in.
