Advent Tea Calendar Day 8
Higashiyama Sencha
Dobashien/土橋園
Type: Green
Origin: Japan, Shizuoka
Product Description: Available on the website (Japanese).
Temperature: 175° F
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 2 minutes
The dry leaves have a grassy green, savory and nutty aroma with salty marine notes.
The infusion is bright yellow-green with a buttery, brisk green aroma and flavor with a touch of spice.
This seems to be a fukamushi sencha and it reminded me of late-Spring and the aroma of freshly cut grass. With a naturally bold flavor and astringency, a shorter steeping time of 30 seconds after the first infusion brought out milder, sweeter results.
