(verified owner) Submitted on:I am relatively new to drinking real tea, not what you find in the grocery store. So far I have tried the Sencha and the Gyokuro. They are both very good.

(verified owner) Submitted on:I have purchased Japanese green tea directly from Japan before, but the shipping can be a bit of a nuisance. So, I was pleased to find Senbird. Now that I’ve been enjoying their delicious gyokuro for the past several mornings, I can say I’m delighted with the quality. Such a great find. I plan to be a repeat customer and am eager to try their other teas, as well. I just wish they had a larger quantity product.

(verified owner) Submitted on:This review does not reflect on the great service and selection of Senbird. It is just my opinion of the gyokuro tea. Unfortunately I didn’t like it. The tea has a light seaweed taste. I’ll stick to Genmaicha, Sencha, hojicha. Those taste great!

(verified owner) Submitted on:I love this deep and incredibly smooth gyokuro. Senbird’s gyokuro has more layers of flavor compared to others I’ve purchased. I can’t say enough about the great customer service and fast shipping.

(verified owner) Submitted on:This tea is outstanding. I haven’t had a tea like this since I visited family abroad in Japan. It’s got a beautifully delicate but vibrant green color – not brown or yellow like other green teas. It’s got such a nice rich flavor and grassy almost toasty smell. Not just flat and grassy. Will be ordering again!

(verified owner) Submitted on:This is the second type of tea ordered from Senbird. This tea is refreshing and energizing in a very different way from other teas. Very floral and the taste is delicious. Brews to a beautiful green color. I make four steeps from 1 tsp and the taste and effect are good to the last.

Larry B
(verified owner) Submitted on:I like this gyokuro very much. It is the tea I have been drinking every morning. Flavor is strong but not overwhelming, and it’s noticeably sweeter than other gyokuro teas I have tried.
Eric H
(verified owner) Submitted on:I enjoy this gyokuro. If i had money to indulge in this I would drink it every day.
Mark
(verified owner) Submitted on:Taste of Japan. It is so nice to know that real Japanese tea is available to get. I was in Japan more than 20 years ago, this tea really reminded me of the great time I had and wonderful Japanese people I met. Little card of thank you was included in the package which represents the integrity of Japanese people who run the business. Very vivid green color is so beautiful. I can feel high in caffeine as it stayed me up all night. Thank you.
