A difficult question to answer. My all-time favorite is the grassiness found in sencha. But in other teas, I like other things. In white tea, I like bolder flavors and a viscous feel. In pu-erh, I enjoy smoothness and complexity.
I woke up this morning with some Kabusecha and it tasted like candy. You know, candy flavors in tea (as long as they're natural) are excellent.

LOL...I missed soupy as a flavor aspect or quality...but this sencha I am having is definately soupy!!! Sencha Premium in my cup on yet another rainy day in PA. This sencha is bold, grassy, astringent, sweet, fruity, even a little floral, just depends on which steep.tenuki wrote:I like soupy.
I was hoping to see a box in my mailbox from O-Cha containing Guricha, no such luck.
WOW, this is a tough call...if I had thought of it, I would have added depth or complexity to the Poll options, I think most of us would have chosen that. But since it is not an option, I am going with boldness...a bold sencha...wOOt. I just expect smoothness and if it isn't there, I won't reorder, but that in and of itself won't motivate me to reorder either...wow, tough question, Galileo's Daughter!!!
blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!

There so many different characteristics of various teas that are so enjoyable, but, if I had to pick one, I really like a nice vegetal tasting tea. Feel connected with the plant and its true natural flavor.
*Started the morning off with 2 cups of premium sencha and am currently on my second infusion of some Pu-Erh (2006 Wu's Reserve)

For me, it all depends on the tea as to what I want out of it. In a black tea, I want it slightly sweet so it tastes good without sugar. In a green tea, I enjoy the grassiness or vegetal taste depending on the tea. For any tea, I think smoothness covers what I look for the most. A non-smooth tea is just not enjoyable.
I am just having my first cup of tea today now. I decided on Fukamushi Maki from Den's to help me write the next section in my paper.
