Outstanding value in a very high quality, pure Sencha experience. I’ve been trying various Sencha brands lately in search of a satisfying organic Sencha at a reasonable price. I’m happy to report that I found it today with my first delivery of SENBIRD TEA’s Organic Sencha Green Tea. I opened it immediately and brewed it following package directions at 75C for 1.5 minutes using spring water in a gaiwan. I could tell right away by both appearance and aroma that this was not just another mediocre Japanese tea in a fancy package. It was like experiencing the essence of a fine ceremonial matcha – excellent balance between umami fragrance, sweet fresh undercurrents of marigold, and a powerful centering energy experience. A completely unexpected level of quality for the price. Highly recommended!

The quality and taste of this tea justify the price. I will be buying regularly from this company.

I love the smell of Genmaicha. It’s nice to drink with a meal or if I’m feeling hungry at night. Sometimes I steep it for a long time so that it’s stronger. It’s also very easy to brew and doesn’t require as much prep as Gyokuro, so it’s good for everyday when I’m busy. I will be reordering when it’s gone. I’m pleased that this brand has a refill policy!

The tea has surprisingly rich flavor, better than other cheaper non-organic tea. The color of the liquid is darker than other brands I have tried. That may explain the richness of the flavor.

I will definitely buy this again.

Nice smooth flavor easy to pair with other loose tea flavors love the freshness and the tin it comes in is hi how quality

I drink 2 cups of this tea in the morning, and before I knew it, the hundred grams of Genmaicha in the sealed jar have disappeared. The mellow, sweet, and chlorophyll laden is just what I need in the morning. It reminds me of the many teas I drank when I traveled to Kyoto three times a year.

The aroma of this genmaicha tea is wonderful, the taste and the feeling in your stomach are also great.

This genmaicha tea is amazing! The flavors are so warm and clean. Highly recommend this tea!

This tea has is very refreshing and smooth. It it not bitter like some other green teas, and it does not make me feel agitated. I drink it every day because of its anti-oxidant properties.

😊🤗😁👍👍😍

I’m glad I bought this! Was a little hesitant due to the price, but I took a chance since it was organic. The quality, taste and freshness are a thumbs up and I love the fact that this Genmaicha has the little white popped brown rice (looks like tiny popcorn), which I wish they added more of. It gives it a more roasted flavor.

Delicious genmaicha, exactly the taste I was looking for.

Received as a gift: outstanding tea with surprising health benefits. If the insert is truthful about this coming from a small family owned business, then I like it even more. Highly recommended.

Such a light but tasteful Tea. I would recommend follow the instructions to get the most flavor. Would highly recommend this product!

My husband loves Genmaicha tea but only drinks it from the cheap tea bags. He also doesn’t like matcha but I like matcha and read about the health benefits. I couldn’t get him to switch to matcha. Then I found this blend. It is PERFECT! I can’t believe how fresh it tastes. And I can’t believe my husband actually likes it too. It’s the best of both worlds and it will be hard to go back to drinking tea bags! Wish it was a bit more affordable.

I first had this green tea with toasted brown rice in a Japanese restaurant and finally figured out what it was. Goes great with food or by itself.

I gave loose leaf tea a try, after drinking tea from tea bags all my life. I thought it might be a little complicated to prepare, but Senbird’s packaging was pretty informative with how much tea to use and how hot the water should be. The tea smelled so good in the tin, and drinking it was quite relaxing. The heads up on the caffeine level on the packaging was a nice touch, too.

The tea is fantastic, some of the best genmaicha I’ve ever had. It’s a daily driver for me now!

I’ve been looking for a mild organic green tea with toasted brown rice and this was exactly what I was looking for. The flavor is very mild and very soothing. Love it and would definitely buy it again.

Love this genmaicha tea! I was buying 2 liters of genmaicha every week, this is so much more cost efficient!!

My favorite genmaicha. very pleased that it’s organic. I brew it using water at 180 for 4-5 minutes, longer than indicated, but it doesn’t get bitter. delicious and comforting!

Senbird genmaicha tea is now my favorite. It taste flavorful, fresh and smooth. I have tried nearly every brand that offers organic genmaicha tea and this is my favorite. I also love the container and refill options. This is a very high quality thoughtful company at a reasonable price for those of us who appreciate the details.

I loved the soft green tea taste with the subtly sweet and roasted flavor of the rice. This tea is perfect for after dinner.

I Love This Genmaicha!!! It’s so flavorful, the roasted rice imparts a wonderful aroma, and the combination of the excellent green tea and toasted brown rice has such an umami flavor which is soothing and comforting. The perfect way to start your day or to enjoy during dinner or while having dessert!!

Love the genmaicha tea, its delicious flavor and aroma. Loved the mini pamphlet that came with the tea, showing the exact ideal temperature and steep times for different kinds of tea.
Brewed my genmaicha at exactly 82°C for 1.5 mins, and it was just perfect.

I’ve ordered three different teas now from Senbird (Genmaicha, Sencha, and Hojicha) and I am impressed with the quality of every one! I’m a bit of a snob with beverages, like coffee and tea; they have absolutely appealed to my need for excellent quality and delicious results. Five stars!

Perfect balance between the green tea flavor and the toasted rice!

This tea came exactly as pictured and as described, and comes from a small, family-run business.

I love drinking the tea to relax.
It has a very nutty taste from the brown rice

This is normally more than I would pay for tea since I’m used to the cheap pre-made tea bags but this genmaicha is worth it! I found some empty tea bags and I prefill it for convenience. I don’t think I will ever stop drinking this tea! Great quality, great taste, and great health benefits!! A MUST-TRY!

Great genmaicha flavor and freshness. I add a little more than recommended, and it’s perfect.

This tea is excellent quality and robust in earthy flavor.

I first had this green tea with toasted brown rice in a Japanese restaurant and finally figured out what it was. Goes great with food or by itself.

I was looking for a low-caffeine tea and found this. This is a mixture of roasted grains-brown rice, green tea leaves, and matcha powder. I would say the flavor is well-rounded and has good flavor. I’ve tried other Genmaicha teas (Yamamoto to name one), which are good but don’t have matcha powder included. Not sure if the flavor of this senbird brand is more pronounced because of the addition of matcha, but I’d be interested in trying their tea leaves by themselves. Overall, I’d repurchased- please note although this review is honest, I was directed here to get a free refill from the company in exchange for a review. They have a recycling program as well, where you get 10% off your purchase if you purchase a refill. This encourages buyers to keep their tin can.

I have been craving this genmaicha tea since I first tasted it in Asia many years ago. I took a chance and purchased this on Amazon and am so glad I did. I drink this at work and my coworkers are also hooked! Even without a tea leaf strainer, if you let it sit for awhile, eventually all the leaves sink to the bottom and only the delicious brown rice remains at the top. It is a daily treat that I look forward to!
