I am looking for a good Japanese Sencha green tea.

Last year I ordered Sencha from Autumn Moon tea company and the Sencha was
wonderful. Opening the sealed bag gave a very strong sweet aroma, reminding
me of clover or alfalfa. The brewed tea was mild and had no grassy taste
(or smell). Evidently this company is out of business, and I have yet to
find a Sencha as described above. Several that I have tried have the grassy
smell and taste.

Recommendations?

Well while I'm a fan of Upton usually, I didn't care for their senchas or
gyokuros. I measure the subjective quality of different teas by how fast I
finish 'em off, and those sat around so long I had to throw 'em away. YMMV.

A really good sencha based tea is the japan gyokuro extra fancy from
www.psteas.com.

I got the 1 oz to try it out and I was hooked immediately. It's so
fresh!
