Wonderful! Once I got the brewing parameters nailed, this turned out to be a wonderfully strong fuka! And since I acquired it on sale, an outstanding tea for the money!
First Infusion — 5 g. per 8 oz water, at 70 deg., 50-55 sec.
Second Infusion — 5 g. per 8 oz water, 70 deg., 30-35 sec.
Third Infusion — 5 g. per 8 oz. water, 70 deg., 3 min.

Still better then most of the stuff I’ve tried out there, but at this price I would have preferred the slightly cheaper Kagoshima Sencha Yutaka Midori more.
Hey I was poking around at your notes. You mentioned how you got this on sale. Do you remember how much of a sale it was? Does o-cha ever do black Friday type sales?
Hi Rachel:
If I remember correctly, it was $10 for 100g. Unfortunately, Kevin doesn’t sell this fuka anymore.
However, O-Cha is having a great sale right now:

They have some great teas on sale, both high-end and ones further down the scale.
