This is an exquisite Sencha, a lot of beautiful flavor to it. It has a light brothy-esque quality to it, not as heavy as some of the brothy teas I’ve tried, but, it has a savory tone to it that lends a brothy-like quality to it. A strong vegetative scent leads to a strong vegetative taste, but, I think that the sweetness of the tea balances out the grassy tones very nicely, making it neither too sweet nor too savory… it is just right.
Delightful.
I am obsessed with tea!
I am a co-founder of the SororiTEA Sisters:

I no longer write for the SororiTea Sisters but I am still the admin for the blog.

The reason I’m no longer writing for SororiTea Sisters is because I am now the Mad Tea Artist for 52Teas:
I’ll still be posting occasional reviews on teas here on Steepster, mostly backlogged reviews because I’m way behind on getting reviews posted. That’s why I’m keeping two accounts active at the current time – so that I can get those backlogged reviews posted.

My favorite teas are Yellow Teas with most Oolong teas at a close second. As far as “flavored” teas go, I love Earl Grey, Chocolate and Jasmine teas.
I also am intrigued by flavored teas with an unusual or unique flavor combination, which is why I was very excited to be the Mad Tea Artist of 52Teas!
