Brian ThompsonNov 2, 2018, 00:58A very powerful tea. As far as taste goes, this is my favorite available here. It is similar in flavor to the organic kabusecha and organic kanayamidori, which are not available this year. If you liked those, try this one. It requires less leaf to get it full bodied and aromatic, so the cost per cup is actually reasonable.
