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

Out of Stock

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!
