- Sandra Ottonoct. 26, 2018, 09:38I have found this years organic Chiran seems to be best when brewed at a lower temp or it developes some bitterness. I don’t know if it is due to weather conditions this year. I am also not getting an oceanic/seaweed quality which is why I’ve been favoring Chiran the last three or so years. I found the same to be true with another vender this year.

- Margaret Vincenti-Brownnov. 22, 2017, 00:28Excellent organic sencha.
- Akinov. 20, 2017, 12:57Been drinking this for years, having it brought from Japan by a relative - and finding Ocha.com allows us now to never go without. Too bad about the problems with shipping to Canada which raises the cost but it's still worth it.
- B Koct. 23, 2017, 03:22This is one of my favorite teas as far as quality and value. Will keep buying it.
- Michelle Séguinoct. 11, 2017, 02:29This is by far the best green tea I have ever had. It completely ruined me for other teas, I cannot go back and drink tea from a bag or restaurant anymore. I even bring some with me when I travel and go out.
- Daniel Mulfordaoût 16, 2017, 08:38Exotic, herbal flavor. Lovely, a favorite for sure.
- Tõnujuin 18, 2017, 22:02Great sencha. Nice dark green colour, strong flavour and taste. I prefer to brew it with a little lower temperature than recommended. One of my favorite senchas.
