I picked this one out for the “sweet and sour” prompt. Yuzu alone fits that pretty well, but I thought sencha was a nice person nod to the prompt in the sense that it’s something that’s typically a negative (or “sour”) experience for me but, in the case of Momo’s blends, something nicer/sweeter. This was a good cup too. Grassy and oceanic up front but with that brighter, almost sunny citrus note to freshen things up and balance out the umami.

What I have noticed about Momo Tea’s flavoured sencha is that you can definitely still taste the earthy undertones of the sencha, and the flavourings that Momo adds to the tea are actually very mild!

When I first opened this, it reminded me of nail polish remover. Like an alcoholic, chemical scent. But I expected this to smell like bright and citrus. However, after it steeps, this alcoholic smell calms down and I was left with a pleasant light citrus note.

I have never had yuzu before; however, in this tea it tastes slightly like a cross between an orange and a lemon. But the prominant note in this tea is still the earthy, slightly bitter sencha.

Yuzu is an interesting one, to me it’s sort of like lemon and grapefruit. But it also tends to have a noticeable pine note to it!

That’s a great way of describing it! :)
