Organic Yame Sencha “Asatsuyu”, from Kyushu, a first rate, first flush green tea. Harvested from the first round of young 100% “Asatsuyu” clone spring leaves. Deeply steamed green tea, resulting in an especially intense green color with a thick consistency. If you are looking for a very healthy, organic, deeply steamed daily sencha of good value, then this would be hard to beat. We offer this item in 100 gram packaging. Certified organic JONA/JAS. As with all of our loose leaf green teas, packaged in nitrogen filled bags.
Quite an enjoyable sencha — rather light & sweet on the first brew, and more astringent subsequently. This is another low-cost, good-quality sencha from O-cha.
First infusion – 5 g. per 8 oz. water, 70 deg., 50 sec.
Second infusion – 5 g. per 8 oz. water, 60 deg., 90 sec.
Third infusion – 5 g. per 8 oz. water, 60 deg., 10 min.
I brewed this tea a little cooler than what is recommended by the vendor. My first impression is that the tea has a deeper, richer flavor than other senchas I have tried. I think it would be really good with heavier foods, rather than a light sweet.
