Sencha (Organic)

From Tao of Tea 1 oz. $2.25

This was something I got since I am in a green tea phase along with a couple of other from Tao of Tea.  It was very underwhelming that was plain and simple, not undrinkable, but nothing there that hold my interest.  This makes me wonder if the "organic" branding on tea means an inferior finished product due to the methods.  I might have had organic tea before without knowing it, but this one sure dissapoints.  The leaf has sort of a strange texture, seemingly very light and fragile.  I guess at that price point you get what you pay for.

2011 Yunnan Sourcing "San He Zhai" Raw Pu-erh tea

From Yunnan Sourcing  25g sample, 400 g also available for $24

Not good.  I would not get more.  Way to astringent without anything I like.
