Tea Company: Senbird Tea
Tea Name: Hime Sencha
Sticky Note-Note: Dry leaf aroma: Grassy
Wet leaf aroma: mushroom, grass
I needed a boost at work. I wanted something other than black tea or puerh. I wanted a green tea, which is a rarity and limited in my stash. I pulled out the “samples” drawer, and found this HIME Sencha sitting at the top, from the December Tea and Me Blog Advent Calendar. Perfect. I brewed the leaf at 158 F for 2 minutes. The liquor drew out this green-vibrant Mountain Dew color. The liquor smelled grassy and sweet. The flavor had a sweet, grassy, and hint of umami flavor at the back of the mouth. No bitterness or mouth drying at all. I noted to look more into this company.
7.5/10
