Premium Japanese Sencha from Fujieda in the Shizuoka prefecture in Japan. It has a fresh aroma and makes bright yellow green infusion. The superb quality of this Sencha ensures a sweet taste with medium Umami and no bitterness.
Sencha is made from the first picking of the leaves in the spring. It is known to have a high vitamin C content. The Shizuoka enjoys a warm maritime climate with hot, humid summers and mild, cool winters. The weather conditions are ideal for this aromatic Sencha.
This is the first straight sencha that I have almost actually enjoyed.
The scent of the brewed tea was very strong, with definite seaweed aromas and something else that I couldn’t quite place; almost like the roasted, popcorny taste of a genmaicha. The seaweed tapered down into a light vegetal flavour upon drinking, but that mystery flavour was still very present. Still didn’t turn me into a sencha believer.
