Sencha Hatsuzumi

Have bought several times and consistently good/tasty and I like the green color. After my tea kettle water reaches light boil, I remove from stove and open tea kettle lid and let steam escape from kettle and cool down for at least a minute then I steep 1 full level teaspoon for 8 ounces for 3 1/2 minutes (which is definitely longer than the 1.5 minute the company recommends) and is just strong enough for me but not bitter at all. If water is too hot or steeped longer than 4.5 minutes first cup, it could end up a little bitter. When later I make a 2nd cup I steep it longer 4-4.5 min and don't worry about letting water cool down and steeping can be longer for 3rd cup or 4th cup and not even worry how long... Even 5-10 minutes is fine but so is 4 1/2.

I also often put a couple little pieces of ginger root that I peel the bark/outside of and steep the peeled ginger with the tea that absorbs the ginger flavor. I dont swallow the ginger while sipping/drinking the tea - it stays on the bottom of the cup. After drinking all the tea I grab a piece of tea soaked ginger on the bottom of the cup and chew on it. If it's stringy or mushy then it's not so good to chew or swallow but I usually get some ginger from an Asian grocery that is crisp and crunchy 95% of the time. It's tasty to chew the tea soaked ginger - it doesn't have to be swallowed.

I use a fine mesh stainless steel tea strainer that fits over and inside my small 8 oz maximum coffee/ tea cup that has plenty of room for the loose tea to expand (practically as large as the cup itself).

The best tea

The customer service is exceptional, as they keep you updated throughout the entire process. I had a question about the product, and their support team responded promptly and professionally. Overall, my experience with Senbrid Tea was outstanding, and I can’t wait for my next purchase. Tea leaves of good quality have a nice texture which has a smooth feel to it and absolutely perfect taste of rich and aromatic green tea!
I highly recommend this tea! Buy and enjoy!!

This is the real thing

If you go to a US supermarket you will probably find "Green Tea" in teabags. There is realy no way to tell what is really in the package. Often there is not even a country of origin and the true contents is a mystery,
This is the real thing. Sencha from Shizuoka, the most famous production region in Japan. It's also loose tea so you can brew it properly in a teapot.

I take off one star because it's a little mild for my taste. I like my sencha to be stronger and more bitter but that's me. This is still a premium product.
