As I sit here drinking this tea I am having an odd thought. Last year (2024) I had a tencha from 2023 and it was phenomenal. I couldn’t help thinking to myself, this tea is fantastic perhaps if I stored it properly would it age nicely like that? So we are going to try.
1/31/2025 Tasting notes:
Dry Leaf aroma: Slight tropical fruit. Mango. Fresh pile of grass.
Dry Leaf Appearance: Shiny, tightly twisted. Dark and creamy light green.
Wet Leaf: Very vegetal. Freshly steamed asparagus and spinach. Makes my mouth water.
Flavor: High in umami. Heavy in spinach notes. Mainly wilted spinach.
Mouthfeel: Soft. Filling. A slight astringency.
This is You :-D

I’m a purist but I will try a flavored as long as it doesn’t have artificial flavors.
I will drink any type and love to taste whatever I can get my hands on.

Love this one! So glad you like it too. I haven’t tried aged Japanese greens, though I know sometimes they intentionally do that to change the flavor. Wonder how this one would change…
