This is a very interesting green tea! It has hints of sweetness and grassiness that you would expect from a sencha, and I’m not quite sure how to characterize the dominant tone…vegetal, maybe. It’s smooth, and held up well to resteeping. I feel like this is one that will grow on me, and I’ll be having it quite a bit. I’m glad that I bought quite a bit of it since it will no longer be available…I’ll have to make my Butiki tea last!! Thanks, Stacy!
I’m a tea novice, and I’m loving my introduction to the World of Tea. I started getting into tea about 4 years ago when I lived in Brooklyn, NY. At first, I stayed with green teas, and took black teas completely for granted. However, in the last couple years I have enthusiastically added them to my daily routine. I love strong Assam black teas in the morning, and Japanese green teas in the afternoon, especially matcha and gyokuro. I have recently become a big fan of Keemuns. I’m looking forward to learning about new teas on this site and talking to other tea lovers!
As far as ratings go, don’t trust me. I’m a high rater, and I’m easily impressed. If I rate a tea lower than 70 (which is going to happen rarely, it seems), I probably will not drink that tea again. I will splurge for some teas at times, but I love a bargain, so you will often see me celebrating under-appreciated everyday teas.
