My green tea arrived today and I decided to brew up some Sencha. Well, all I can say is YUCK . This stuff tastes like dead fish. Nasty.
On the chance I did something wrong, I'll state how I brewed. I used 2 teasp in 8 oz of water at ~175 degrees and steeped 1 min. I tried a second go with the same leaves steeped for 2 min. Still fishy. The tea in the packet smells fishy.
I'll tell ya I've read it described as grassy and vegetal but never fishy!
Now I have to go make a sidecar to wash the taste out of my mouth.
