Tea Review: Tanegashima Island Shimamidori Single Cultivar Sencha (Yunomi/Iba Takahiro Tea Garden)

Tanegashima Island Shimamidori Single Cultivar Sencha
Iba Takahiro Tea Garden/Yunomi
Type: Green
Origin: Japan, Kagoshima Prefecture, Tanegashima Island
Product Description: Not provided.

Temperature: 140° F
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 2 minutes

The dry leaves have an aroma of nuts and wheat bran.

The liquor is light yellow with savory, nutty, and edamame-like notes.  The taste has notes of nuts, edamame, and green vegetables with a green finish.

After the initial infusion the savory notes made way for mild astringency and fresh green notes like spinach and grass.  Though I stopped at three, there were easily a couple more flavorful infusions to look forward to.

This tea was purchased by me.
