日本煎茶

The afternoon cup gives me steady focus without the shaky crash I used to get from coffee. I brew it at 80°C for about a minute and the second steep still tastes sweet. Nice knowing there's nothing added, just leaves.

I was worried sencha would taste grassy, but this one is mellow and smooth with barely any bitterness. The calm energy is real too, no jittery feeling or 3pm crash like I used to get.

Swapped my morning coffee for this and the difference is real—steady focus through my 9am meetings instead of that shaky caffeine spike. The flavor is grassy and clean without any bitterness, even when I accidentally oversteep it.
