I’m taken back to a happy place when I was staying with a friends family in Japan. Every morning when we woke up, we ate thick toast with yogurt and a cup of sencha tea. We’d eat while huddling under the kotatsu and trying to plan out where we’d go that day. That was 6 years ago and I am overdue for a return. Maybe after I graduate and when I save up some money after finding a job.
Enough down memory lane and onto the tea! It’s smooth but full bodied. You can distinctively taste the grassiness but that seems to disappear on the tongue after a sip. There’s no hint of bitterness, just happiness. :)

I guess this is where the happiness from ‘Happiness’ ended up. =)
This tea should be named happiness instead of their ‘Happiness’ haha. I need to try Mariage’s green teas to compare though. A place in Palo Alto just opened and sells a wide variety of their teas.
They are so good and so different. MF and Lupicia are by very far my favourite flavoured greens – I wouldn’t want to be without either.
I’m excited to read about your MF impressions, but not so excited about the Palo Alto place – as if visiting my family there needed to get even MORE expensive shopping wise.
(…but I obviously need to know where it is, nonetheless!)
I have Bouddha Bleu and when i brewed it, i swore it was the best cup of tea I have had to date. The flavor is consistent and I was able to get almost 6 steeps out of a single serving.
I’ll just say it’s a small place in downtown PA and they have delicious french sweets. :)
Ooh, I haven’t tried that one.
What is the shop in Palo Alto called. I live in the area and always on the lookout for more tea!
