This is just a quick review of the Premium (which falls below "Superior") Kagoshima Shin-Cha. I found this tea to have less depth of flavor relative to the Kagoshima Shin-Cha Superior. In comparing it to sencha and gyokuro in general, it has a relatively light flavor. However it also has no hint of bitterness while the Superior version is slightly bitter. (Note that both teas were brewed using water with a temperature of about 160F which is well below the recommended 176F, which is 80C.) I prefer the Superior although I should note that a friend who tried both preferred the Premium. I liked the greater depth of flavor while my friend preferred the lack of bitterness.
Cost: $30 for 3 oz.
Taste rating: 3.0/5
Value rating: 2.0/5
