Rezension:
Not my best friend.\r\nThe sencha smells lovely and sweet when not brewed, but for the life of me it\'s not possible to brew a \'best friend\' that is even remotely aligned with this scent. The sencha gives off a very grassy flavour, hardly any umami but a very green \'green tea\' with quite some residue, even with use of a strainer. \r\nI have tried 80° 1.5 minutes, 80° 30 seconds, 60° 1.5 minutes, 60° 30 seconds. All approaches result in the same grassiness. I have not tried a shiboridashi cold brew, but that is besides the point.\r\nProbably a very healthy sencha, given the deep green colour it brings to your tea, but misses the subtlety, delicacy under different brewing tempartures and umami that good senchas are known for.
