سينشا ياباني

I usually drink matcha, so I wasn't sure how the full-sun grown thing would taste, but this sencha is a completely different experience — lighter and more savory. Steeping it at a lower temp keeps it from going bitter, which took me a cup or two to figure out.

The grassy, vegetal flavor is exactly what I look for in a sencha, and it brews up clean without any bitterness. Only reason it's not five stars is that the leaves are a bit finer than I'd like, so my strainer clogs if I'm not careful.
