Harmony (和合 "Wagou") from Ofukuen Tea Co. Ltd.

First fruits of a wife living overseas.

The dry leaf and wet leaf are exactly what you would expect from a respectable sencha offering. Deep, emerald green color, pungent, riotous undergrowth aromas.

The cup is soothly pale in color, but quickly fades to yellow tones.

The liqueur is intensely flavorful, attacking the palate. Thick, coating vegetal bitterness and fresh pea sweetness.

I may have steeped this 5 or 10 seconds too long, but the flavor is still very pleasant.

I can still taste and feel this in my mouth minutes after swallowing.

Do you think she could just pop in to Budapest and pick up some Genteel Lady for me?
