Tezumi - Matsuba Sencha


Brew: 1st 158 60secs, 360 ml kyusu (didnt fill), 4.4g, eyeballed water.

Smell: Crisp, a little grassy

Taste: Crisp, full bodied mouth feel, smooth, balanced, no sweetness, buttery, green-ness - different from what I'm used to, but not a bad thing. 0 bitterness or astringency. 

Rating: 4/5

Rebuy: Maybe? It's a different feel from what I like in a sencha (sweet, grassy), but still good in its own right.
