Quite different than the Asanoka sencha, but also delicious, if lighter-bodied. Steeped at 158F, the highly appealing aroma is of fresh-cut grass, which persists in the flavor, where it is joined by seaweed and lima bean. This is an umami-rich tea. I secured two excellent steeps, the second using water just a few degrees hotter. I will be buying this tea in my next order.
