Taster’s Review:
Aiya is one of those companies that I have complete confidence in – one of those companies that I know will always provide top-quality products. Like this Organic Sencha Green Tea! This tea is absolutely wonderful!
It is very much what I’d expect from a Japanese Sencha: light, vegetative, and refreshing. However, one thing that I’m not finding in this Sencha is that hint of bitterness that I find in some Japanese Sencha teas. This one is so smooth and sweet – and I detect not even a hint of bitterness and no astringency either!
The flavor is crisp with a pleasant sweetness. It has a mellow, vegetative taste that teeters the line between sweet-grass and steamed spinach. There is a vague softness to this … almost creamy, but not in a buttery creaminess kind of way. Rather, it’s what I’d describe as a smooth, round flavor. The aftertaste is pleasantly sweet.
I love this Sencha – and I appreciate that it’s certified organic! It tastes great – one of the nicer Sencha teas I’ve encountered recently. That’s what I mean when I say that Aiya is one of those companies I can trust to deliver top-notch products. This Organic Sencha is a perfect example of their quality!
