This tea is oishii! It brews a lovely swamp color and is so deliciously sweet and mellow. I'm hooked. Every morning I start my day with 2-3 infusions of this.

Superbe!

I don't know why everyone is so in love with this tea. It's a decent sencha, at a medium price. I think it's marginally better than the cheaper sencha's on o-cha, and definitely inferior to the Sencha Miyabi which is in the same price range.

Simply the best!

I have tried many Japanese green teas over the years, and this is by far one of the best I've had. Its sweet, yet strong flavour and beautiful green colour make it a very special tea. In fact, I love it so much, I ordered 2 more packets!

I just received my YM in shincha form and i must say that the color of tea is fantastic!
Rich green color, not so cloudy as i expected, but still cloudy enough.
I think, that this 2009 YM is more like mid steamed sencha or just less deep steamed one.

Love the aroma. Freshness is nearly impossible to beat. However, I can get 2 to 3 brews out of this at best. I also find that I have to steep the 2nd and 3rd brews longer than advised to get the full flavor.

Amazing

I'm quite new to Japanese green teas, but this tea clearly is something special. It has an amazingly green color and smells wonderful (although most people I know say it smells bad).

It is very easy to brew and the taste is just out of this world!

A Definite Favorite!

I've always held the Yutaka Midori and the Tsuen Kirameki in the highest regard but since I've only had the shincha version of Kirameki I can't compare the two year round.

I've had two bags of Yutaka Midori and can honestly say its the best Japanese Green Tea I've ever tried. The flavor is a rich classic sencha taste with just enough sweetness and a good fresh, almost citrus-like aroma. The shincha version of this is great too.

Just Awesome

Seriously, this stuff just rocks. From the dazzling color of the liquor to the vibrant aroma and deep flavor... this stuff impresses.

Did I mention this tea re-steeps superbly well?

Highly recommended.

My fave sencha, period

My enjoyment of this sencha is well documented on several tea forums, it is simply my favorite, period. So rich and full and deep flavored. It is mind blowing. I have recommended this 'classic' to many. Be sure to be sitting down when you smell the aroma.

Really like it!

Easy brew and rich, grassy flavor that produces 4-5 good brews. Additionally, in later brews, the tea becomes pleasantly sweet. Highly recommended.

Testimonials

Just wanted to let you know what a pleasure it is to shop at o-cha.com. The info on the website is very informative and helpful. Every tea I've ordered (5 different kinds so far) has been awesome. I've also ordered a teapot, matcha whisk, and travel whisk. Every item arrived packed very well and each item is exactly as described. Thanks for making it so easy for me to have such great tea and tea ware from Japan for my own daily tea ceremony!
