hibiki-an sencha superior

After work yesterday I had the chance to try Sencha Superior from hibiki-an, thanks to a generous complimentary sample sent by Andy at TeaChat.

It didn't have the sex appeal of adagio's Sencha Premier, but it was quite good in a general way. I might recommend this as a good first sencha.

It was bright and interesting, with a mellow, buttery finish.

Now, when I say "buttery" in reference to sencha, I mean it in a very literal sense. An actual flavor of high grade butter will spontaneously explode in the back of the throat in a post-sip swallow. I really love this aspect of sencha and want more, more, more.

After a few infusions, this is on my "recommended" list.
