As it says, Kabusecha is a milder tea than standard sencha. I prefer a more pronounced flavour.
Gyokuro is even worse, although it is one of the most expensive teas. I will give Gyokuro one more chance when I go to London. Maybe one day another chance to Kabusecha...I have seen some on ebay.
Anyway, I just finished cuppa #7 and the last one for today.
Taylors of Harrogate's Ceylon.
I am afraid, Ceylon is not my cuppa.

I don't think a teaist has to love all teas. Just be knowledgeable and enjoy tea. There are plenty of teas that I love and plenty that I don't. I don't like any of the Chinese Greens but I really like to love almost all of the Japanese Greens. All that says is that I prefered the smoked greens to the pan fried greens.
