The best green tea Ive had

I love the flavor of this tea. It is the highest quality I have seen available especially in the US. It also happens to be the best value! Highly recommend.

High quality tea

I wanted an authentic, organic sencha from Japan. This has a mellow and smooth flavor.
Nice brilliant color and aroma. My wife and I love it.

Good flavor, but crumbled leaves

I was disappointed by the quality of the loose leaf tea, lots of crumbled leaves, almost powder. So small that even my fine strainer would not catch it all.
Thankfully the flavor is good. I won’t buy it again, will look for larger filler leaves.
