I must say that I’m impressed. Definitely a really interesting one. Even looking at the dry and especially the wet leaves brings a feeling of satisfaction. Taste was something of a mix between regular sencha and gyokuro, yet with a character of its own. Very strong umami, mixed with sweet fruitiness. Very silky smooth and absolutely no unpleasant astringency or bitterness. I brewed it according to manufacturer suggestion: 3g for 30ml water; 1st 25oC 5min; 2nd 25oC 5min; And then I decided on 3rd 50oC 1min; 4th 50oC 1min; 5th 60oC 1min; 6th 70oC 2min; 7th 80oC 2min; 8th 80oC 3min. Taste remained distinct and full of character throughout. Therefore, I decided to experiment and do a final 9th infusion with 90oC for 5min. This one also turned out excellent. My only regret is that I only got 20g of it.
