The larger, tougher leaves brew up mellow and grassy without any bitterness, even when I forget and let it steep too long. A few weeks of drinking this and I've stopped reaching for my old morning cup entirely.

I picked this up right at the start of the bancha harvest and the difference from earlier spring tea is real — the larger, tougher leaves give it a fuller, less grassy character that I actually prefer for everyday drinking. A few weeks of steeping this and my mornings feel sorted.

The stems and broken bits are noticeable in the bag, so it's not the prettiest leaf. Still, the brew comes out mellow and grassy with almost no bitterness, which is exactly what I wanted for an everyday pot.
