Began the TD on Friday with Kaboku
Nice daily sencha isn't it?

Ippodo's Kaboku was my introduction to "real" sencha. I picked Kaboku and Gyo Kanro because both had the nicest aroma amongst several samples available at their store in Kyoto at that time.
Koboku is a really nice asamushi, milder than some asamushi perhaps. But it is a very agreeable sencha, quite traditional I am thinking?!?
However, I have not had the prviledge of sampling in their store.

Not planning on it. From what I've heard super early harvests are harvested too early and are way over priced. I'm sure they taste good but theirs no way I'm paying $50+ per 100g just because they came out first. I will wait until first harvests of long jing and other more reasonably priced greens come out. and I can't wait!
DHP in my cups today
