Super Premium Sencha is a full flavored, sweet, vegetative tasting green tea. Picked early in the season and from the best leaves at the top of the tea bush.
Remember: keep the temperature low (160-180 degrees), and steep for only 1 or 2 minutes. Japan Sencha has a great lingering aftertaste. The second infusion (1-2 min.) is also delicious.

This is my second batch purchased of this tea and I still enjoy it. Not quite as “buttery” as it seemed the first time around, but my palate has matured since the first tasting note. Still a quality sencha, and will continue to be my go-to choice for a green.
This time my steeping went as follows:
First cup after water was taken off the boil for 2 minutes. Steeped for 1.
Second cup used water cooled after 4-5 minutes, steeped for 3.
Third cup used remaining hot water, allowed to steep until first two cups consumed.
All three steepings were flavorful, the first cup being the “fullest” as you would expect. A very welcome cupping on a cold January evening with cold/sore throat season creeping in.
This company makes great bubble tea, London Fogs, Rooibos Lattes, Chocolate chais’ etc but sencha and matcha needs to be done right. I don’t have high expectations for this. Oh, well, right oh the bat. Color me surprised. That is a nice-looking leaf. Needle-like, mostly. Glossy and deep green. The aroma is quite nice with a mixture of sweet grass and bits of hay and bamboo. I’m so excited. My mother-in-law bought me a shiboridashi. This lady ios quite possibly the kindest in-law ever. She also bought me this tea. The smell that came up from the leaves as it was hit with the water was very pleasant. Summer and cut grass piles. My computer ran out of battery and shut down just now. But the note saved. Fascinating that computers don’t shut don’t and lose everything these days. Anyway. The flavor is nice. Nothing too spectacular but the subtle vegetal notes that mix in with the grassy notes. I will explore this one over the next few days and update this when needed.
Brewed from a sample in a mug infuser. I found this tea to be sweet and more grassy than the Chinese greens that I normally drink. Overall a good green tea that is clearly high quality but personally not in the style that I go for when I want green tea.
