You don’t say how you brewed it so it’s hard to tell. Senchas are notorious for wanting a much lower temperature than most teas around (80degC/176F). Could be that you made it a bit too toasty for those leaves. Could also be that Harney doesn’t purvey a tasty sencha.
Sorry, I forgot that part. I used water that had been cooling from a boil for 5 minutes and let it steep for 2.5.
sounds like a typical sencha to me, but I would try reducing the steeping time to 60 – 90 seconds and see if you like it better
I usually steep senchas for just a couple of minutes, much shorter than for black teas, but I’ve never tried it at just 60-90 seconds. I see another tea experiment in the offing.
