Sitting here with my fist cuppa...brewed at 70 for 1 minute as per instructions. Not a deep green and not a heavy taste. This is lovely balance of grassy and sweet with a background of the "buttery" taste ive become used to with green teas. Excellent stuff. Will be reordering.

I had this tea a few months ago so from notes:
.6g to 1g per 30ml, 65C/90s, 70C/30s and 75C/2min+
I'm generally not a huge Asamushi fans, so between Fukamushi's and Gyokuro's, I found this tea a welcome change of pace. Medium-light body, a mild balanced sweetness. I used lower temperatures with more leaf to get more of 'gyokuro likeness' and slightly higher temperatures and less leaf to get a more sencha taste. Not as fragrant as I was expecting (maybe because I'm not used to organic teas), but an easy drinking good quality tea at an EXtremely good price. I would highly recommend this to anyone new to Japanese teas.

Somewhat roasted taste, not sweet (which I expect from kabusecha). Instead, this reminded me of genmacha.

I'm enjoying the shincha version of this fine tea. This tea is surprisingly strong flavored and delicious. If you like a good, satisfying kabusecha, this is a good one.

I wanted to like this tea, but it is a little too subtle for me after falling for the Kagoshima Sencha Yutaka Midori. I know it is a different category to compare, so I have to be fair and say that by no means is this a subpar tea.
