[Limited] Tencha Premium (60g/2.12oz) Reviews

Author	Jeffrey Chan (Singapore)
Review	This is my first opportunity to taste Tencha, and the producer is accurate to suggest that it sits between Gyokuro and Sencha, which I would add, with hints of matcha. Specifically, on first brew, the color is pale green, and has a complex mix of toasty almonds and fresh grass. On the palate, the umami is distinctively seaweed and with underlying roasted notes (distinct--not as piquant--yet similar to Hojicha). The picture shows the second brew, which is darker emerald with a slightly different taste structure (nearly losing of all its initial nuances). A delicate tea that should be appreciated on its own.
Rating	Very bad... Bad... Very bad... Ordinary... Good... 5 of 5 Stars!
