Matu drank Australia Sencha Green Tea by What-Cha

485 tasting notes

Hmm, not sure about this one. I got some light grassy flavors and a sour bite that I seem to be experiencing with a few sencha that I’ve had recently. The aroma wasn’t particularly strong, nor was the flavor. I don’t know if the tea I got was past its prime or what, but not sure I’d buy this one again. I have enough to try another session if anybody has any other suggestions. I used 5g, 150mL water at 160 degrees. Steep times of 1m, 30s, 45s, 75s.

Flavors: Grass, Sour

Preparation

160 °F / 71 °C 1 min, 0 sec

Bio

A bit about myself: 22 years old, college grad (Double major in Anthropology and History). I plan to make a career of archaeology and hopefully travel (much of) the world in my days.

I enjoy many things aside from tea, including gaming, mixing cocktails, reading, watching anime, and painting miniatures.

My favorite type of tea is sheng puerh. Particularly younger stuff, if only because I haven’t gotten the chance to taste much of anything aged. I also really like oolong (Taiwanese, Wuyi, Dancong, etc.) and Japanese Green Teas. I do also enjoy most other kinds of tea, but they aren’t what I normally buy. I’m not a huge fan of shou puerh, black tea, or flavored blends, with few exceptions.

I really like interacting with the tea community, so if you ever want to talk or swap teas or anything, feel free to shoot me a message or something. Follow me and I’ll follow you back. Probably ;)
