Beautiful, high-quality authentic green tea — lovely
I lived in Japan years ago and came to appreciate quality green tea. When I returned to the US, I searched everywhere for similar higher grade sencha loose tea. Unless I went to a Japanese market, the products I found were only the lesser quality bancha or gen-mai-cha or other roasted, twiggy teas. This may be because very nice quality sencha tea leaves have a grassy, very “green” aroma and mild, soft taste–probably not too appealing to most American palettes who are used to stronger, blacker teas. I love this beautiful, wonderfully aromatic loose-leaf green tea and highly recommend it. If you’re looking for green tea in silky little tea bags, check out the Kirkland Signature Ito En Matcha Blend (though the brand name doesn’t seem aligned to something so esoterically appealing, the quality is amazing).
Shizuoka green tea tastes best.
Flavorful tea. I drink it everyday. I look forward to buying more tea from this company in the future. I’ve only found tea like this in tea shops in Seattle and San Francisco Chinatown.
good but not excellent
Just got the bag from Amazon today.
The tea is fine, and from a scale of 0 to 9 with 9 being the highest, I would rate this a 6.
I like the taste, but it’s also a bit harsh. Perhaps the water temp I used was a tad too high, and I will try again with lower temp.
I think tea at this price range ought to be strong, yet smooth.
