(verified owner) Submitted on:I’ve been trying various Sencha brands lately in search of 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!

(verified owner) Submitted on:I’ve recently upgraded my green tea routine, and I purchased several different brands of sencha teas from Japan. They’ve all generally been quite good, with a good but not overpowering umami flavor.
I had to use a little more of this tea compared to another brand to get the same intensity of flavor I was looking for, and I wonder if its because this one seems to have significantly more stems than the other varieties I started with. Still, I quite enjoy it and I don’t think you will be disappointed buying it, although I’d also recommend trying a few different sencha brands to see which is your personal favorite!
The stems might even be a bonus to some, as there is supposedly more theanine (the relaxing component of tea) in the stems compared to the leaf.

(verified owner) Submitted on:I have tried several brands of green tea and this is hands down one of my favorite. I will definitely be ordering more Senbird Tea products to try. This particular one was perfect, it didn’t not have the overly bitter undertones found in poorer quality teas.

Donald
(verified owner) Submitted on:I’ve tried a lot of different tea brands (loose-leaf and bagged alike) and Senbird is definitely one of the better ones I’ve tried, especially for not being very expensive. Smells nice, seems like a reasonably high-quality product, the container makes it storable without needing an extra jar or tin (very handy given how many tea brands ship in crummy paper boxes, even loose-leaf) and it’s overall a great purchase. Would recommend to anybody who enjoys loose-leaf teas.

(verified owner) Submitted on:Amazing Sencha tea from Japan! Superb quality and taste!
Madison
(verified owner) Submitted on:We like this tea for its fresh, light flavor (we use 1/2 the amount recommended), especially when a few slices of fresh ginger are added. This improves the flavor and takes away the “green” taste, in case you’re not a fan of that.

Stephen
(verified owner) Submitted on:I am not that well versed on green teas, so my opinion on the value for the money would be questionable at best. All I can say for sure is that I enjoy the flavor and body of this tea very much…
Donald
(verified owner) Submitted on:The tea is great hot or cold but makes for a great iced tea. The taste is bold and tastes fresh when compared to prepackaged tea bags. Recommend for those who enjoy bold green tea flavor.
Anna
(verified owner) Submitted on: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.
Angela
(verified owner) Submitted on:By far my favorite tasting and fresh green tea leaves. I’m hooked.
Nicholas
(verified owner) Submitted on:Light, fragrant, refreshing green tea taste. A very good price for organic sencha tea that I enjoyed drinking anytime of the day! It comes with instructions on how to brew the loose leaf tea to get the max flavor.
Amy
(verified owner) Submitted on:We lack a quality tea shop in the city we live in so I was pleasantly surprised with and outstanding Sencha from Japan offered on Amazon. I lived in Japan and this Sencha is great. I will be buying more Japanese tea from Senbird.
Jacob
(verified owner) Submitted on:This is high-quality green tea — light yet flavorful and aromatic. The brew instructions included should definitely be followed! I brewed at too hot a temp (near boiling point) and the flavor became a little bitter, but after trying again at with the water cooled down, it was much softer and palatable. Of course it is subject to personal preference. The color is a beautiful lime green. i also really appreciate reusable tin packaging

Jason
(verified owner) Submitted on:Perhaps the best green tea I’ve had in a while. A clean subtle aroma. The flavor is earthy and strong but not overbearing. I enjoy sipping a cup (or two) at work in the mornings. No sweeteners required.

It is definitely a soothing comfort, the best tea I ever tried and will will keep trying.

Victor
(verified owner) Submitted on:I often find that Japanese teas are too “grassy” for me. Obviously, this is just a matter of taste – many people look for that very quality. I was very pleased with the taste of this tea, and plan to make it my “go to” green tea. Great packaging as well. Finally, do make sure you brew this at a fairly low temperature. The instructions say 170 degrees F, but I would even recommend trying 160.
