How’d it taste? Looks like it would be way, way too strong.

Welcome (back) to Tokyo! First time I’ve seen sencha granpa’d that way. Looks pretty strong.

It does look pretty strong, at least initially. The bottle is well worn too.

I was thinking they had it going for a long time and kept adding more leaves.
Thought I wouldn’t discount that they just like their tea incredibly strong.. and probably bitter. Hell I used to love my tea chifir’ style. Nowadays I have the palate to sense how harsh it is, but the psychoactive effect is unique and pleasurable. Though with sencha, enjoying that sounds like a challenge.
