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!

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.
