Why do I keep forgetting about this tea?? WHY? Because it wasn’t old enough 2 months ago when I last had it, I had to let it get even older? Ugh. But it still tastes so yummy. Not as fresh, but it is still good tea.
I used a little over 5g for 6oz. Probably could have used a bit more. But it is sweet and butter and grassy and good. I really really need to get a different kyusu for use with some of senchas. They are so fine the clog my sasame filter making a second pour sooooo much slower. Keeping that in mind, I used my (now lidless) teapot which has an in-spout mesh filter (replacement pot coming soon). Much easier but there is just a little bit of flavor that seems to be lost with getting almost no leaf in my cup. But I know the second cup will be better this way so I’ll deal. And put a larger-filter kyusu on my wishlist. Which means I get to look at Artistic Nippon again. Bonus.

I really should once-over what I’ve got more often. I forget about teas often enough to annoy myself on occasion.
I tend to neglect my Japanese greens. Which is really the worst tea to neglect. I’m a bad tea-mom. Shame on me.
That’s why I like the Cupboard, it lets me keep track of all my teas and easily see how long it’s been since I’ve drank a cup of each of them. :)
Well, if I were smart, I would attempt to do that.
That’s it… I’m going to try that. I will borrow your smarts.
Yes, bow before my wisdom! ;P
Hehe – aye aye!
