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.

High quality and great value, a delicious tea, refills available

This tea is clearly very high quality, it comes at a great price, and it's delicious. And one great perk to note is that the tins are reusable, and you can purchase refill packs for them from the Senbird website for only $15.
