Polished off the last of this a few days ago and I’m really going to miss this one. It came as a sample with my Sazen order. This is a lightly steamed sencha that has a clean and fresh flavor.
Forest green needle shaped leaves brew up a clear light green liquor without any cloudiness. Smooth, buttery, and rich in umami . There’s a lima bean creaminess which coats the mouth and leaves a lingering umami aftertaste.
Resteeps are more or less the same. Lima bean / cashew creaminess and lots of umami.
Flavors: Cashew, Grass, Lima Beans, Umami
I wish I found more teas tasting like cashews
