Default India source of Assam like Teaspring for China teas

I thought you would notice the Spanish company ;-). This is the only
sencha I have from a non Asian company. Being a commercial sencha its
a little larger leaf than most. It has a good dry and wet aroma. The
aftertaste a little harsh. Could taste better if more care in brewing
because of the Japanese kill green steaming. It does produce a cloudy
looking brew which I find nutritious. The tin is airtight with an
pull tab inner tin seal. I think there must have been a big mixup on
the expiration date. I got mine early spring 2009 for $2 tin. OMG
its expired before it even made it to the shelves.
