Rose P.
(verified owner) Submitted on:Smooth, non-astringent high quality tea. Higher caffeine content which makes this a great alternative to coffee or espresso.

Logan
(verified owner) Submitted on:Great tea with great packaging to secure it! Love to see real gyokuro accessible in the US! This is awesome stuff. Esp appreciate it being stored and sold in a tin jar rather than paper bags.
Judy
(verified owner) Submitted on:We were impressed by the commitment to recycling shown by Senbird: I love how we can re-use the tin for our next order, instead of ordering a new tin.
Abigail
(verified owner) Submitted on:Beautiful tea, well-packaged. This is excellent Gyokuro green tea. It arrived in a sealed foil bag inside an attractive little tin. The tea is very fresh and looks beautiful.

(verified owner) Submitted on:This gyokuro is mild and sweet. No astringency. Best gyokuro I ever had
Oren
(verified owner) Submitted on:This is a fantastic green tea. It has a nice bit of sweetness to it, with a lots of umami that is typical of high quality gyokuro. I steep mine in a small pre-warmed tetsubin (Japanese iron teapot) with water that is 170 degrees. I let it steep for 2:15-2:30 minutes because I like my tea a tad on the bitter side. This has now become part of my morning ritual, and it’s a great way to start the day. Only problem is that its a bit on the pricey side.

(verified owner) Submitted on:I love to enjoy this gyokuro tea cold brewed or hot. So good either way.
Brian W
(verified owner) Submitted on:This gyokuro is beautiful jade color when brewed. I like my gyokuro full flavor so I steep for a longer time. If you like green tea but haven’t had Gyokuro I wouldn’t even say you’ve had green tea yet – it’s a full experience with this tea. So beautiful. 5 stars
Brian M
(verified owner) Submitted on:This is an excellent Gyokuro! I brew it very gently at 165F for just three min. Can be rebrewed at least 3 times.
Sharon S
(verified owner) Submitted on:I pay the extra for this gyokuro for the fresh vegetal taste and the health benefits. Excellent Quality.
Lauran R
(verified owner) Submitted on:This gyokuro is a winner! It has all the lush, green and freshly-picked flavors that “Gyokuro” is known for. I brewed at 60C for a bit over a minute and got a nice mouth-feel and more of the umami aftertaste that I love.
Deborah S
(verified owner) Submitted on:I’ve purchased many gyokuro from several companies including the ones directly from Japan. Senbird is fresh and aromatic. It’s a high price but well worth it.
Emily D
(verified owner) Submitted on:Excellent gyokuro tea, fresh product, quick delivery.
Joshua V
(verified owner) Submitted on:The Gyokuro is amazing. The tea leaves are vibrant and fresh and green and unlike any green tea I’ve ever drank. Its packed with umami. It’s smooth without the bitterness or astringency I’ve experienced with green tea. It’s calms at first sip and luxurious treat until the very last.
