They are both outstanding sencha. YM is generally a very deep make you sit down and take full notice type of flavor. It can be mind blowing. This year it is a bit milder than last year's, IMHO. Still very good, just milder. The YM Supreme had the fullness of last year's, but that is no longer available I think (?). Chiran is another YM, have not had it this year, but those who have sem very pleased with it. Chiran is a lower price point YM.Fireflower wrote:and what about ym and miyabi, what kind of taste they have?
thx very much to everybody, great forum
Miyabi, this year is crazy good, grassy, full throttle richness. I think it leans towards fuka though it is listed as mid steamed (chu). I actually give this the nod over the YM, THIS YEAR. It is that good.
Sometimes you have to step out and try teas, experience them for yourself, have those "must ... sit ... down" moments.
For this reason I try many sencha each year, that and to force myself to be objective and not simply live in a "safe zone."
