Product Description: Not provided.
Temperature: 140° F

The dry leaves have a nutty and marine green aroma.
The light yellow-green infusion has a savory aroma of nuts, sesame seeds, and edamame. The taste has notes of nuts, green beans, grass, and nori with a long green finish.
This sencha was refreshingly green throughout three infusions with the promise of more. While the recommended 2-minute steeping was quite nice, I found that reducing the 2nd infusion to 1 minute resulted in lower astringency and more nutty notes which I tend to favor, while also retaining most of the other flavor notes.
This tea was purchased by me.
