From Kettl

A brand new light steamed asamushi shincha from the famed Uji region outside of Kyoto. This is a fragrant and refined shincha with a pale green/ golden colored liquor, slight minerality and unmistakable Uji aroma. 2014 is being considered a wonderful year for Japanese tea in general and Uji tea specifically. Enjoy the newest addition to the Tea Wing lineup!

Backlog from yesterday.

You win, Uji Shincha. From the previous two tasting notes I learned how much you HATE resteeping so I didn’t even try this time. I went straight for a western style brew and you were MUCH happier this way. Still the notes of pine and ocean breeze/salt air, with a bit of astringence that was creeping along the edges of the sip. It was ALMOST, but not quite bitter, and skirted that line well, though next time I might even stop steeping a little earlier.

I will drink you happily because I do love this flavor, but I know there’s got to be a better value for my money out there somewhere…
