Taster’s Review:
When I first steeped this tea, I steeped it at a low temperature (as I generally do with green teas) for three minutes. And, I found that the flavor was very mild, to the point of being very difficult to discern. So, I decided to steep it for another two full minutes, and the flavor was a little stronger. A drizzle of agave nectar really helped the flavors to pop.
The Sencha base is smooth and sweet with a creamy buttery note. The pineapple and papaya flavors lend their sweet tropical flair to the cup. The pineapple has a nice tangy note to it that tickles the tip of the tongue in the aftertaste.
As I mentioned at the start of this review, these flavors are a bit on the softer side. But that’s OK, because the Sencha is front and center here and that is the way it should be. It is a light, refreshing cup that is a pleasure to sip. This is good iced, too, but I would recommend adding a little bit more sweetener to it to help enhance the flavor.
