Good tea, its tough and able to withstand more steeping than most. Flavor is complex and wonderful.

The teas that I've tried from this farm always surprise me! Very pleasantly unusual and uncommon flavors for a green tea, ones that I would almost expect from a highly roasted, dark oolong tea. I don't know how to describe the flavor because it's so unusual. It's as if it's a savory fukamushi cha with obvious earthy, warming spices added to it, like cinnamon or allspice. Very unique and I can't wait to try more! Highly suggested if you'd like to try something new in the world of Japanese green teas!

I followed the steeping parameters on the packet for the first 3 steeps, and then went with a further 4th steep because it still had such good flavor.
My leaf was a bit broken, so I was worried about this being bitter. But it definitely was not!
This is a very tasty, well-balanced sencha. It has a nice combination of both sweet and savory vegetal notes, along with a refreshing light citrus note. The most amazing thing about this one, though, is the tasty sakura note. It actually tastes like a very lightly sakura-scented sencha, even though there is no scenting here. I love sakura sencha, so I found this quite delightful!
The vegetal notes were a nice combination of sweet and creamy pea and edamame, along with more savory spinach and a touch of umami seaweed. The savory side was a bit stronger in the second infusion, and there was also a hint of very pleasant bitterness. The fourth (extra) steep was light and sweet, a lovely way to finish the session.
