From The Tea Table

Liquor brews to a golden straw color and offers a buttery aroma and mouth-feel that lend a roundness not often found in a sencha. Although we found this tea to be tolerant of longer brew times, please brew with care. As with all senchas, to prevent bitterness, make sure your water is not too hot and don’t over-steep. Use 1 tsp. per cup and brew 2 minutes in steaming water.

Oh wow. This is my 1200th tasting note! It only took eight years…

The description the company gives is “round.” That’s not the word that comes to mind for me, but this is definitely an unusual sencha. There’s a dewy sweetness to the aroma, honey-like, which has a hay note that’s apparent in the dry leaf but not so much in the steeped tea.

The flavor is also quite unusual. It’s not grassy or vegetal so much as it is very subtly sweet and a little tangy. It doesn’t really taste like any tea I’ve had before. It makes me think of bees and pollen. It’s extremely pleasant (which is why it gets a high rating).

About the only thing that’s usual about this is it’s color, which is the golden straw color described on the packet.
