My mom in law bought this for me for Christmas 2023. At first I wasn’t a huge fan but now that I know how to properly steep Japanese greens I’m finding it more palatable. It’s not as good as others but great for on the go. Right now my kids are playing in the central park(not NY) splash pad and I’m sitting here sweating with this sencha. Har har. It makes a great umami bomb. But the over all umami when infused at the regular amounts is less like a typical sencha. Also a black kyusu works great for infusing in the heat
