Vendor Description:Produced in a rural area at the upper stream of Shimanto River. Tea leaves are well rubbed with a pleasant smell and enjoyable as a simple natural tasting handmade tea. Produced by Shuhei-san.
Leaf: The leaf for this tea had a very long needle like shape. The color of the leaves was very nice.
2nd Infusion: The leaves were fully expanded at this point, and were much larger than I had expected. They were for the most part intact. The tea had a very weak flavor at this point and there was not much left. It had a light bitterness, but that was about it.
Rating: 7/10
Conclusion: The flavor of this tea was quite good, but the tea could not really stand up for more than one infusion. It is a very interesting tea, but past a few pots I think I would move elsewhere.
