I recently purchased some teas from Upton and decided to try some of
their Japanese greens. I have very limited experience with Japanese
greens, never brewed it myself, and was wondering what is the normal
leaf size of them? I've always been happy with Upton's teas, but the
Sencha and Gyokuro seriously look like what would come from a tea bag;
fannings with a few larger leaves. I'm not sure if this is normal, but
I can definitely say I can't recreate the taste of any Sencha I've
drank before. It may just be the way I'm steeping, but I'm using water
around 150F and 2 minute steep. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
