Sae Midori Sencha

Unexpectable sweet for a fukamushi with tons of umami and grassy flavor. By far the best sencha i have ever tried.

Amazing color and taste on this tea. Naturally sweet.

It's hard not to focus on the color of this most brilliantly green of teas. But you'd recognize the grassy flavor even in the dark. Not as funky as the Yutaka Midori, this is my all-around favorite tea.

Delicious tea! Very Refreshing and easy to boil

Delicious when brewed at right temperature. Remember to warm up the tea pot, too.

This is a beautiful deep steamed green tea. Lots of tiny particles which I love. I am reviewing the 2016 harvest in April/May 2017 so it's a full year old and still amazing. Rich grassy flavor, lots of umami, really good.

This is the first fukamushi tea I have tried. I love the deep green color, especially of the second brew!

However, going by flavor, I don't think I am much of a fukamushi-person. The flavor is mildly green (as you may expect from a fukamushi, from what I understand). I like a tea with some more body, like kariganes.

However, I do think it has a nice typical flavor profile that will find appreciation from deep steamed tea aficionados.

Probably one of the best teas available, especially if you, like me, are an absolute fanatic of deep steamed green tea (fukamushi). I have been buying this tea for many years and the quality and freshness has always been impeccable.
