Second of two senchas from Kettl. This one is less than 1/3 the price of the Saikou, and is certainly not as good. But for $0.18/g, this one is really good! I really am liking Kettl’s teas, but I wish they would sell sample sizes. If they did, they’d be the perfect Western-facing (cheaper shipping) Japanese green tea seller. I like their subscription service as well, but feel like I should try some of their other teas before deciding on one if that’s the route I choose.
This one has a very unique aroma for a sencha that I can’t quite pin down. The mouthfeel is much thinner than the Saikou, but that’s expected given the website’s description of this tea as “light and elegant.” It is certainly that. Also the sweetest sencha I’ve tried I think. No bitterness or astringency. Lasts 4 infusions.
