1629 Tasting Notes
This is the first tea I’ve ever tried from Den’s Tea! I bought the Green Tea Sampler for novices, a really cute kokoro (kyusu) teapot, and the sakura sencha gift set. I must say, I am so impressed with this sencha fuka-midori. ! I steeped it according to Den’s recommended brewing instructions. Delicious! I steeped it twice and shared it with my boyfriend, who is starting to like greens!
A great way to enjoy the mornings. There is enough in the sampler to make 2-3 pots!
Preparation
So I got my package from Den’s Tea! Its my first time ordering from there. I bought a kyusu and used it to steep this tea! It is so delicious! I steeped it twice.
I had such a long weekend! This tea was great!
Preparation
When I first opened this tin, the first thing I noticed was how oily and black the leaves look. The smell was just like toasted sesame, which I absolutely love! After I steeped it, the leaves looked dark brown and almost had a green sheen to it. Very nice. The smell of sesame was faint to me. The taste is very faint sesame but bitter. I added some sugar after tasting it without sugar. I believe it needed it. I don’t have any milk, but it might help to add some milk too. Overall, good tea. I’m not too into bitter though. My mouth feels a bit dry now.
Preparation
I do enjoy me some Toasted Sesame. Yummy!
Sugar in that??? Hahaha weird!=D
Not too weird, actually. Many asian desserts and candies are flavored with sesame. :)
That is so true!
I don’t doubt that, but my American taste buds say “What the heck???” =D
this sounds like a yummy tea.
I love sesame anything on desserts like those fried sticky balls with sesame seeds on the outside and red bean on the inside! YUM! I forget what they are called. :)
ooooh, i remember those red bean & sesame deserts. those are awesome.
