Sencha

This is a very good Sencha. No bitterness and a nice nutty flavor. It’s pleasantly rich and smooth. Not at all grassy.

This is not bad but it isn’t like sencha at all!!! It tastes neither grassy nor roasted… instead, it’s sweet like honey and I think it has a hint of coconut??? I believe the foreign flavour has something to do with Tea Forte’s tea packaging – it’s pretty, but it really makes the tea bags prone to contamination (especially in a sample box, where there are teas of various flavours)! :(

Won’t say much here, since this is a sample for www.itsallabouttheleaf.com, other than that I love a green tea that doesn’t take much coddling. This is one.

A mild Sencha – very springy – very pretty

Twigs and dust in the loose leaf version…. But nice nutty flavor.
