Sencha .Zhong Guo Cha
December 12, 2007 at 11:07 pm | In Green Tea, Tea Reviews, just green tea |Zhong Guo Cha G-17-3-2 Sencha *sample . 15$/50g = 8.52/oz = 136/lb ? is that right?
looks like sencha, it must be sencha 
imho kind of small cuts but what do i know about proper sencha?! the other senchas i tried from Kowa, Chado seemed to be bigger.
liquor: nice and green, tiny particulate matter giving it a ‘cloudy’ appearance.
taste: strong presence, vegetal, feels ‘fresh’ in some way to me, a small twiggy feel, a tiny feel of sweet on the tip of the tongue that goes with a small reminder of “egg” flavor (as in this oolong huang jin gui), some astringency feeling green.
leaf bits are small and so hard to drink straight from cup (ok, actually i did drink straight from the cup, and chewed on some of the little bits of leaf), but if one wants to down one real fast you’ll get a mouthfull. so you need a good strainer.
this feels like a good quality tea & leaf-’cos of the strong flavor, but i’m not experienced with many senchas.
