1006 tasting notes

These needles are some of the most beautiful tea leaves. They smell buttery and a tiny bit toasty.

First thing to notice about the brew is its vibrant colour and virtually no cloudiness. As soon as I drink it, the full bodied liquor covers my mouth with a creamy mouthfeel and a strong but smooth taste. It is bitter, vegetal, and very crisp. The flavours are really quite amazing. There is a decent umami and sweetness as well as notes of rocket, butter, pine, and vegetable broth.

It has been some time since I had such a positive experience with sencha and I will look for the 2023 harvest in the spring.

Hi, I am a researcher in math, physics and computer science. Apart from teas and mathematics, I enjoy sports and traveling, as well as music of all kinds. Connect at https://rateyourmusic.com/~Togo

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
