Sen-Cha Fukamushi Reserve (Blender's Series) from Maeda-en

Auggy drank Sen-Cha Fukamushi Reserve (Blender's Series) by Maeda-en

Bad day. Need good tea. Sweet, fresh and flavorful, this certainly qualifies. The extra leaf gives it a bit of pungency without adding any astringency. Mmm. Slight bump to rating because really? This is just delicious. I think this cup means that Maeda-en will be getting an order from me soon.

ETA: Second steep @ 15s. I’m getting a bit of roasty depth to it now. Really nice.

Awww, poor teaplz. :( You’ll get into the swing of the new job and be able to work tea into it and it will be all happy again!

Nom nom nom. I’m becoming a fan of maeda-en. 7.5 oz of soba-cha and would you believe I’m going to need to re-order soonish? [Especially to account for additional shipping time. They take a couple of weeks.] Part of that has to do with recent tea swaps, but still. I’m moving through this stuff at an alarming rate.

I’ve decided to brave the slowness that is Steepster because I miss seeing all the good teas folks on here discover! Sometimes my notices for PMs and such have been questionable. Email me at your own risk at aug3zimm at gmail dot com.

1 – 10 – Bleck. Didn’t finish the cup.
11 – 25 – Drinkable. But don’t punish me by making me have it again.
26 – 40 – Meh. Most likely will see if the husband likes it iced.
41 – 60 – Okayish. Maybe one day I’ll kill off what I have in my pantry.
61 – 75 – Decent. I might pick some up if I needed tea.
76 – 85 – Nice. I’d probably buy but wouldn’t hunt it down.
86 – 100 – Yum! I will hunt down the vendor to get this tea!

Not that anyone but me particularly cares, but there it is.
