A very good houjicha with a light roasted taste. Not expensive, especially for an organic. I will certainly reorder some.

Dear Kevin,

I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the powdered Sencha I ordered. As usual, the typical characteristics of Japanese green teas were all there; the grassy mellowness, vibrancy, somewhat astringent tannins and the effervescence. I would follow the directions on the package and the results would yield a perfect cup of tea. The only caveat would be that the tea does not totally dissolve. Since I am a big fan of Matcha, I thought I would give powdered sencha a try and I like it a lot. Matcha is still my favorite. But I do love powdered teas better because of the health benefits that are touted more so than just steeping the leaves. One ingests the whole leaf which in turn is healthier than just drinking the run-off, which is only yielding thirty percent of the teas polyphenols.

Once again, the shipping schedule was on time and customer service was wonderful.

Thank you for such superb and delicious products!

Kevin,

I must say once again, that I LOVE your teas! I just had a couple of cups of the Powdered Sencha Green Tea and the quality is superb...can't be beat! I love this powdered tea and matcha so much that I am seriously considering not brewing tea leaves anymore because you get the health benefits of the whole leaf which is ingested. I love this powdered tea! As mentioned before, the quality of products is exceptional and so is the customer service. I am very happy with your products, site and service.
