Customer reviews
- Justin EarnestNov 10, 2017, 01:37A great tea. I found I had to use a little less water with this one to get the bolder taste that I enjoy. If you like something a little richer, I'd recommend Oku Midori or Yutaka Midori.
- Toby KlingerSep 15, 2017, 20:23I love this tea, and love that it's orgainic!
- MartinAug 4, 2017, 23:03Well, what a surprise. I wanted a cheap sencha for cold brewing at hot summer days. After sipping a bit it turned to be a really interesting tea – some nuances spoke for themselves. Shortly after I tried a classic warm preparation and the result was impressive. It is my discovery of a very very good sencha in its price category indeed. I will definitely buy it again !
- Alessio ColettaJul 5, 2017, 05:32One of the best green teas ever tasted! This one reminds me of the sae midori sencha, but it is sweeter and its umami taste is much more pronounced. Very pleasant to the palate, subtle sweetness and minimal astringency. Deep green colour, and great bargain in terms of price! I'm definitely gonna be purchasing this one again.
- Harry HarrisJun 20, 2017, 01:58Wow--delicious. Medium steamed, it has a refreshing lightness. I taste melon too. Lovely light green color. Lacks a signature mouthfeel. Spring in a cup.
- Danny MulfordJun 18, 2017, 05:07Delicious tea for a reasonable price. Will definitely be ordering this one again!
- Kevin FJun 3, 2017, 22:43This is easily my favorite sencha. I have tried many cheaper green teas and a few more expensive, but this is the one that I like the most. Smooth, delicate, sweet, with a pleasurable but subtle boldness that emerges as it cools.
- Jim HargraveMai 16, 2017, 05:12Never knew a tea could taste like this - I swear there is an after tone of honey. Very hard to make this tea bitter. I would have ordered more but they are out!

Is Oku Yutaka organic green tea available for sale in tea bags? I got a tea bag with this tea in it on an airline flight from Okinawa to Fukuoka yesterday. I would like to purchase the tea in a tea bag rather than in bulk. Please advise. Thank you. Lovely tea!!

Unfortunately we don't have a tea bag version of Oku Yutaka at this time.
