I can’t sleep. So, I’ve given up and decided that if I’m up then I might as well enjoy what I can of it. Sooo…I’m drinking this as a midnight cheer-me-up, to hell with the caffine. It was a sample that magically appeared in my recent order, always a good thing. This is very nice, smooth and vegetal. I think I needed something that reminded me of springtime and sunshine. Given the wonderful snow we’ve had recently…this was deffinately worth a smile underneath the grey clouds. Yumminess.

Lying in a grassy field looking up at the sky. A strong majestic sun beats down. An occasional cloud interrupts. A brisk wind blows and the blades of grass dance to the music. Serenity. So is the experience sipping Harney and Sons’ Organic Sencha.

There is a pronounced buttery and sweet-grassy scent that emanates from the dry leaf. The wet leaf loses some of the butteriness, but it’s captured back by the liquor aroma. The light pale-green brew is buttery smooth. This tea is absolutely silky in the mouth. Very fragile and delicate is this sencha, be careful brewing. Vegetable-like in some respects. The taste is somewhat reminiscent of fresh peas. Airy. Relaxing. Pacifying. Pleasing.

This is flat out, really good sencha. Probably the best sencha I’ve had in recent memory. I’ve been tasting some relatively pricey greens from different companies out there and nothing quite compares. This organic green simply radiates peace and harmony.

Mmm, now this is good Sencha! Mellow, buttery, grassy, just a titch sweet. Gorgeous!

Another attempt at a green. And another green I’m none too fond of. This one was kind of mellow, but grassy. My husband didn’t even like it, and he likes greens.
