Japanese Supreme Sencha Green Tea from Wazuka, Uji

This is my first taste of Jing teas. I am very impressed with the Sencha, Great fresh taste and a wonderful aroma. Its great to find a healthy addiction in life!

My thirst for a high quality Sencha has finally been quenched since moving away from Japan nearly a decade ago. This Supreme Sencha truly lives up to its name and provides an experience which will wake you up to the potential of Japanese tea. The consistent, deep green leaves brew to give a tea with a vibrant emerald appearance and an aroma that is at once refreshing and relaxing. This Supreme Sencha has a sweetness which gives way to a wonderful roasted flavour and a perfectly subtle astringency. The depth of flavour is held together with a remarkable balance. A light spice on the finish leaves an active feel in the mouth and encourages repeated steeps. Although I love this Sencha in the morning, recently I have been enjoying it after dinner accompanied by rich, dark chocolate. A very impressive tea.
