Yum yum yum. Drinking this with my pizza and it’s so tasty. I actually tried a second infusion this time around (I did 45s compared to 1m for the first) and it’s still delicious. Tastes very similar to the first as far as I can tell, although I’m not sure I trust myself when I’m eating while drinking it. Also, this was my first time using my new Finium brew basket and it’s amazing.
Yay, happy place. Pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, and olives, and my tasty, tasty sencha. Nothing better!

my fave sencha
Mine too, so far. But I’ve only tried two, so that doesn’t really count… Seems to go very well with food! :D
Stephanie, how many steeps do you usually do with this tea?
Usually just 2 for me :) I’ve tried a 3rd but it is never robust enough for my tastes, and it is so inexpensive I don’t feel bad tossing it after 2!
I’m trying a third steep right now (1m) and I see what you mean. The spinachy flavor is definitely lighter but I love the sort of “rough” flavor that’s developing. Is that what bancha is like? Honestly, with how inexpensive this tea is, I wouldn’t feel bad at all only doing one steep!
Bancha is way different! It is a lot more roasty in my experience. I know there are lots of different styles of bancha though…
That sounds right up my alley… I’ve loved genmaicha and houjicha so far so roasty is good! :D Thanks for answering all my questions, lol.
It’s cool I like chatting with folks about tea, lol :)
