man, I love this. Crappy, tiny rollings make a mess after infusion. Deliciously sweet grass on the nose. Deep green liquor. Taste is assertively vegetal with a warmly astringent finish. Not at all delicate or pretty, but gets the job done and creams almost anything else in the price range.

bargain basement sencha that fully deserves its price. Awful cutting & rolling. Gross, twiggy smell. Very forgiving to brew, but always the same crude, dry, woody flavor. I’d really consider this more of a kukicha.
