Product questions

What is the recommended steep time and tea/water ratios for the 2024 Sae Midori shincha?
May 11, 2024, 16:34For the first infusion, about 73C (165 F) for 45 seconds. The subsequent infusions are not that critical.

How much will the flavor of the tea will be missing if I just infuse it through a mesh sieve in a mug?
Mar 26, 2022, 13:43If you pre-heat your mug, pay attention to your brew times and temperature, you shouldn't lose any flavor. Those factors are more important than what you use to brew it in.

May 31, 2017, 22:25You have to be logged into your account ( if you made one ), then simply go to the reviews section, there is a link i there that will let you leave a review.
- AGGELOS LECHOURITISDec 16, 2023, 06:45Unexpectable sweet for a fukamushi with tons of umami and grassy flavor. By far the best sencha i have ever tried.
- Donny PayneJun 18, 2020, 13:46Amazing color and taste on this tea. Naturally sweet.
- Matthew Amster-BurtonSep 4, 2017, 02:25It's hard not to focus on the color of this most brilliantly green of teas. But you'd recognize the grassy flavor even in the dark. Not as funky as the Yutaka Midori, this is my all-around favorite tea.
- ReinerAug 9, 2017, 19:22Delicious tea! Very Refreshing and easy to boil
- Risto OjalaJun 2, 2017, 22:30Delicious when brewed at right temperature. Remember to warm up the tea pot, too.
- Matt SinforosaMay 25, 2017, 00:32This is a beautiful deep steamed green tea. Lots of tiny particles which I love. I am reviewing the 2016 harvest in April/May 2017 so it's a full year old and still amazing. Rich grassy flavor, lots of umami, really good.
- Patrick de KokMay 13, 2017, 06:47This is the first fukamushi tea I have tried. I love the deep green color, especially of the second brew!
However, going by flavor, I don't think I am much of a fukamushi-person. The flavor is mildly green (as you may expect from a fukamushi, from what I understand). I like a tea with some more body, like kariganes.
However, I do think it has a nice typical flavor profile that will find appreciation from deep steamed tea aficionados. - Ervin LorinczJan 3, 2017, 03:34Probably one of the best teas available, especially if you, like me, are an absolute fanatic of deep steamed green tea (fukamushi). I have been buying this tea for many years and the quality and freshness has always been impeccable.
