Interestingly, fresh fish should never be "fishy!"

If your sushi smells like fish throw it away! There's much truth in this.

I actually enjoyed all the tea in the Den's sampler, for what it's worth. Have definitely tried some other Japanese greens that don't agree with my palate, tho.

as your palate (to the fellow or lady who didn't like their Japanese green tea) develops, you may become more or even less sensitive to the flavors present. i'm sure you've probably seen these tips before, but always use some kind of freshly filtered water, Don't brew it with water that is too hot - 150-160 does it for me, but you may have different prefs. Most of all, even if you don't like the tea at first, try changing the parameters of how you brew it. at first a thermometer and a timer might be really useful, but you will not need them after having a few good hours of practice in.

Happy Brewing!
