保羅·哈尼有個簡單的想法：讓日本兩款最受推崇的綠茶各自發揮所長。煎茶來自靜岡，日本產茶最豐盛的地區，為茶湯帶來明亮、清新的草香。抹茶來自宇治，日本傳統抹茶道茶的歷史重鎮，賦予茶湯深沉、鮮美的旨味，使整體風味更加圓潤。兩者結合，創造出單獨任一茶款都無法企及的境界：煎茶的清新植物香氣，被抹茶的豐厚醇韻所提升。對於覺得純抹茶過於濃烈、或純煎茶過於清淡的人來說，這款調和茶找到了兩者之間的完美平衡。
The Shizuoka sencha gives it that bright, grassy freshness, and it steeps a clean, pale green that’s become my afternoon ritual. I’ve already gone through half the bag in a week, and it’s the first tea that’s actually replaced my coffee habit.
The blend of Shizuoka sencha with the other green tea gives it a depth I wasn't expecting, and the aroma is wonderfully fresh. I've already brewed three cups this morning, and the flavor stays smooth without getting bitter.
The blend idea is clever—the sencha's grassy sharpness actually softens into something rounder on the second steep. I just wish the bag were resealable, since I go through it slower than my other teas.
