YunomiA very nice sencha from Kurihara. While the website says this leans towards fukamushi, I think it’s actually the opposite. This is so subtle in flavor (at 140 F at least), that it tastes much more like an asamushi. It’s the lightest Kurihara tea I’ve had I think. In fact, it’s so light as to be a detriment; the flavor falls off a cliff after steep 2. I will try a more “typical” brew at 156 next time. This is also, I believe, the first Ooiwase I have tried.
Nice medium sweetness. No bitterness or astringency.
Harvest: May
Region: Yabemura village, Yame, Fukuoka
Elevation: 300-700 m
Notes: Regular steaming (40-50 seconds) used but leaves are young and delicate so the results is close to a deep steaming (fukamushi)
Flavors: Grass, Sweet, Umami
