Once again a very nice Laoshan green varietal. This autumn harvest is sweet and crisp like butter lettuce. Notes of soy, green beans, sweet corn, anise, and flowers. While I like this tea I don’t quite love it. It may be that I’m finally starting to tire of Laoshan green teas. I’ve been finding myself craving sencha and kamairicha more than other greens these days.

Butter lettuce is best lettuce. I’m feeling a move toward Japanese greens in the coming months. I may have to pick you for some recommendations soon if you wouldn’t mind.
Absolutely. I can’t say that I’ve had too many great Senchas this year but I can help you steer clear of the less than stellar ones. The most memorable one I’ve had was Yuuki-cha’s Kirishima Asatsuyu Sencha. It was super fruity and umami rich. A little different from your typical Japanese greens. Saemidori Kirishima Sencha is also good if you’re looking for a fukamashi with a deep grassy flavor. I have one en route to me from O-Cha right now. Will let you know how that one turns out.
