As I continue down the philosophical rabbit hole of Posthumanism, I find the strength of my Yunnan black waning. Thus, I decided to make myself a cup of Sencha to compensate for the declining amount of caffeine. This really has become a go-to tea for me just because of how sweet it is from the beginning. But I’ve probably spent too long writing this note, so see my other notes for more information.
EDIT -
Fun Fact: This tea is also good cold, being a bit sweet and only the slightest hint of astringency.

It was totally worth the wait. My parent got this for me as a Christmas gift (which I specifically told them to get ;-) ), and it took a little over a month for it to get here because it got held up in customs.
That’s probably a good idea. I don’t know how long the self life on Japanese greens is, but I imagine that it isn’t more than a year and a half.
sounds good – I want some!

I was thinking I might wait until their 2012 teas are in.

About a year is what most people recommend for green tea. :)
Thanks for the advice. On a down side, that means that I really need to start drinking my Top Leaf again…
