Definitely a nice treat for this morning. I usually just drink gyokuro on the weekends which is a good thing, since it’s kind of costly.
Lovely and sweet, vegetal and seaweedy kind of cup. I got two excellent steeps out of it, which was great. See my previous notes for more info.

This wasn’t the Shincha you ordered from Den’s is it?? That reminds me, I have to order mine in the next day or two.
How much tea did you use??
No, this was another tea I ordered from Den’s. They recommend a lot of leaf – 1 tsp. for 2 oz. of water.
I’ve gongfu’d Sencha-I would guess, using 6 grams, and got 3 quality steeps, but i use 6-8 oz H2O. I’ll have to try abiding by steep instructions when I order my Shincha.
yum!
