Well, I had similar experience with gyokuro from Asatsuyu cultivar. It had more bitterness, but it became extremely juicy sweet afterwards with clear notes of a lime. That was the best gyokuro I have ever had.
I deliberately try sometimes to overbrew Japanese teas at the last steeps (4-7th) and sometimes they just come out super-awesome punchy, and not too adstringend/bitter. Almost fresh Sheng-Puer like. Don´t be afraid to try that, a good Japanese tea sure can be finnicky, but they also have so much to offer, if one dares to derive from the recommended paths.
for some reason I can't order any tea from your site any more. its been going on for a year now. payments will just not go through even from different banks.
Wow the color on this tea, both the tea and leaves, is so vibrant!

Japan needs more of this type of teas for sure. Variation is evolution.
I find that sencha gives me a feeling of euphoria like no other green tea (good dragonwell is very close tho)
Just in time to take over from that addictive Cherry Yamakai Sencha! 🙌
