Taster’s Review:
This is an excellent Japanese Sencha.
Overall, this cup is impressive in its mild flavor. It doesn’t try to overwhelm me with its grassy tones. The grassy flavor is soft and mellow. It is lightly sweet. There is a background note of floral tones that remind me of the air on a breezy day in a flowery field. A pure and simple tea.
There is a buttery note to this tea that develops as I continue to sip it. It was barely there when I first started sipping this cup, and now that I am nearly finished, that creamy buttery taste has developed nicely. There is also a light astringency at the tail of the sip that cleanses the palate. The aftertaste is sweet and lightly vegetal although it does not linger long.
This is my first tea tasting from Supple Skin Boutique, and I’m very impressed with the quality of this tea. It is delicious and I like that it is certified organic. To be truthful, I do not drink tea because it is good for me or because it offers healthful benefits to my skin. I drink it because I like the way it tastes – and this one tastes great. That being said, it is nice to know that tea is good for me and helps maintain skin health! It’s like having my cake and eating it too – but without all the guilt and calories!
