organic green tea markOrganic Sencha "Oku Yutaka" - From Shizuoka, a unique breed of Japanese green tea grown organically. A first rate, first harvest, deep steamed green tea, the high quality is obvious from the first sip. Strong "umami" sweetness, less astringent and mellow. As with many organic green teas, it is single estate and is not blended. Harvested from the first round of young spring leaves, it is certified organic. Nitrogen flushed and vacuum packaged, as fresh of an organic green tea as you can get.

Price shown includes 100 grams of tea per package!

Brewed as per recommended instructions, and although this is my first O-Cha purchase, I'd definitely recommend picking it up. The 'umamai' really shines through, and is accentuated by the smell of the leaves, lingering in the mouth after finished.

Try This!

This tea has a very sweet aftertaste. Easy to brew and it's really well priced!

I can't say for sure, but I would think that the average Japanese tea drinker may be curious about this tea, but decide not to buy it because of the risk involved with an organic green tea. No worries here!

I'm really impressed with this tea. I go about 1g per oz. Long lingering umamai. I hope O-cha keeps this tea in their regular lineup.

This tea does't have the same "shine" that some senchas do, but the flavor is all there! Strong but still sweet, with a nice clear color.

Same great flavor as regular sencha, but nice to know that this one is organic.

Advantages: Excellent tea!

It has a slightly fruity flavor and some sweet spice flavor on the finish. It is very nice.

Still trying to get the exact temp and brewing time on it. I brewed it for quite a while but it did not get bitter for me, but then I used less than the usual amount of leaves.

Advantages: Very nice
