It's O-Cha.com's pleasure to be able to provide you with the Tsuen blend "Musashi", from Japan's oldest teashop, in a 140 gram package! A proprietary blend Yabukita breed karigane sencha,the stems from gyokuro leaves are added, giving this tea a rather strong astringency with somewhat of a "tart", sharp taste. Very similar to Tsuen's Otsuusan, Musashi is less sweet with a bit more astringency for those who like a stronger tasting green tea. Try it today!

This tea tastes and smells great. Using exactly 0.6g per 1 ounce of water it comes out excellent and has not turned bitter or otherwise gone wrong. I also like it better than the otsuan sencha i used to drink from ocha, it's even more flavorful. Great buy!!!
a real treat at a great price

Package is 140 grams, an excellent value for the price. A nice companion tea to Otsuu-san -- I love to alternate between the two. Surprisingly different from Otsuu-san, considering both teas are karigane sencha from the same producer. A nice strong, refreshing sencha -- worth trying if you are looking for something different from a reliable source.

I must say once again, that the customer service is second to none! I placed my pre-order for the Shiboridash and the Houhin tea sets with accoutrements and as soon as they came in, I received them in no time. Furthermore, the quality, is exceptional as well. I am so glad that I found this site since I am highly into green tea. A wonderful shopping experience.

Thank you so much Kevin!

Hi, just wanted to let you know that this morning I received the teapot I purchased from your website.

It\'s really nice, I like it a lot and just brewed some sencha on it and it was really nice.

Many thanks for a nice smooth purchase and really quick delivery, it only took 3 days from date of posting to London, United Kingdom.

Regards
Denys
