Very nice! The tea has an even more delicate flavor now.<br />I have tried buying Sencha from many different sources, and I always end up going back to Peets - I wonder if they are getting early-harvest Sencha. It always seems so good.<br />Thank you for your helpful advice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709119406458489167.post-43769775449693394522009-07-16T11:59:44.852-07:002009-07-16T11:59:44.852-07:00Hi Jason,

I have heard of a separate traditional sencha ceremony but never personally witnessed it. <br />I'm glad you found the video useful, one friend said it was just grainy enough to spot bigfoot lurking in the background haha...yumchahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436179021299019535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709119406458489167.post-26546047105016518252009-07-16T03:29:54.904-07:002009-07-16T03:29:54.904-07:00Actually the video was quite helpful in illustrati...Actually the video was quite helpful in illustrating how your constant movement keeps the Sencha from settling at the bottom. It seems like it steeps for a very short time but is still a dark-enough green color. What I'd like to know is how this method relates to the Japanese tea ceremony. Are there some similarities and differences there? <a href="http://www.jasonwitt.org" rel="nofollow">--Jason</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709119406458489167.post-78412860879118077282009-07-12T19:12:50.067-07:002009-07-12T19:12:50.067-07:00Thanks Toki!Thanks Toki!yumchahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436179021299019535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709119406458489167.post-65155930392969332242009-07-05T11:51:42.661-07:002009-07-05T11:51:42.661-07:00You gang made my Holiday!
