Second cup of Sencha Yamato.
This time 1tsp level, 76-78°C, 2min
Good one. But not as good as Sencha Uji though.
Sencha Yamato has more grassy flavour than Uji. This grassy undertone reminds a bit Kabusecha/Gyokuro that I didn't like. When I finish this tester, I am going to open one of the two Sencha I ordered from Japan's O-Cha.com

When I finish with both Sencha from Japan, I will order Twig tea. Probably in 4-6 months.

P.S. I will try Yamato again: 1 heaped tsp but steep for 1min only.
Tomorrow.
