Hon Yama Zairai Sencha - 2010 1st Harvest Shizuoka Zairai Sencha from Norbu Tea

teaddict drank Hon Yama Zairai Sencha - 2010 1st Harvest Shizuoka Zairai Sencha by Norbu Tea

Trying a different temperature: 145 degrees, and it is quite entirely lovely. This is the sweet spot. 30", 10", 30". Upped temp to 155 for the 4th infusion. Sweet and nutty and lovely. Upping the rating for this new temperature.

Thinking about it a little more, the nuttiness is very reminscent of Long Jing. Quite interesting.

Bio

I’ve been drinking tea for 30 years, but only bought 2 brands of 2 different teas for most of that time. It took me almost 30 years to discover sencha, puerh, and green oolongs. Now I am making up for lost time.

I try to log most of my teas at least once, but then get lazy and stop recording, so # times logged should not be considered as a marker of how much a particular tea is drunk or enjoyed.
