(11 reviews)  

From the first harvest, a very special sencha from the very old samurai town of Chiran, located at the southern tip of  Kagoshima prefecture Japan. This wonderful tea is a variety of the "Yutaka Midori" breed green tea plant. Compared with most of the other Chiran samples we tried this green tea has deep steamed characteristics to it which gives it an exceptional green color, not to mention an aromatic and unique Chiran taste. Try some today!

This is a very solid sencha. It is great in every aspect. Excellent color, great taste, smooth, great aroma. Flavor does nothing too fancy, but could not be better for what it is. Excellent.

I found this tea to be rather bland. I'm surprised that it came so highly rated

A beautiful tea coming out of Kagoshima. Great value. Very similar to Yutaka Midori, if only not quite as good.

Resteeps very well.

Highly recommended.

This is a great sencha! i would definitely recommend you try it at least once, although i doubt you'd be able to only have it once, and at that price it's a steal. This is one of the best senchas I've ever had. Nice pick Kevin!

Don't let its low price fool you, this sencha is almost as good as some of the more expensive ones! Of course it's fresh, not difficult to brew, it has an amazing value and the quality is very good!
