Tasting notes

A rich and concentrated flavor that develops gradually and lingers for a long time. Profile includes a sweeter, slightly nutty depth rather than a light floral freshness. Texture and intensity described as 'more like koicha' compared to lighter usucha varieties. One reviewer noted 'brighter green,' 'sweeter, deeper, and less bitter/astringent' qualities.
