Atsuko 2024 Shincha review
Atsuko is a very nice tea for its grade and price. However, I am spoiled after tasting this producer's Premium sencha: Aiko. I've tried over 34 Ikkyu teas. I started out buying high grade senchas in consideration of saving money. Now I am totally addicted to Premium and Competition grade teas. If you are just starting out, I recommend high grade teas such as Atsuko. I loved them for a very long time. You can trust Ikkyu's curation. Ikkyu ONLY has great teas, at whatever grade you buy into.
