8.7/10
According to the Grand Tea website, Jo Sencha is a superior grade of sencha, the most well-known Japanese tea. Sencha is the tea I reach for when I am in the mood for pungent, spinachy, green goodness. And this tea most certainly delivers on that! Appearance-wise, this tea looks like any other sencha, but once brewed, it stands out easily from other sencha offerings. This tea is not for the newcomer to green teas. Oh no, this is for those who have acquired and appreciate those characteristic green tea vegetal flavors in all of their glory. In trying to describe the flavor of this tea, terms like seaweed, spinach, vegetal, and grassy spring to mind. Jo sencha has a very umami-like quality to it. This tea is strong and savory, and, oh, did I mention delicious? The second infusion of the same leaves produced a very similar cup. I was more than pleased with this sencha and this is something I would purchase for myself as well as recommend to others. This is a strong, hearty, healthy green tea sure to please those that love grassy green teas.
