To help fight the headache and the allergies, I am turning to Shincha. I am not sure why that connection sticks in my mind, the whole allergies and Japanese green tea thing. I believe it stems back to a discussion about a type of sencha called Benefuki, which was supposed to be ultra deep steamed and had a touted health benefit of being great at fighting allergies. The connection has just stuck ever since, and I do not know if it is placebo or something more, but I honestly do believe it helps.
Thankfully I am in the middle of working through a Shincha Tasting Initiative put on by the moderator of Teachat, so I have plenty of Japanese greens on hand. Not to mention I am of the opinion the one of the reasons why people say green teas are for late spring and during the summer as opposed to late fall or winter is because they are brewed at a cooler temperature. I think they are great all year round, even if there are less allergies to contend with during the winter.
