Jacob HeatwoleOct 13, 2017, 03:44A very high quality tea. It has a light but flavorful taste and is definitely worth a try.

JanetAug 29, 2017, 03:07This is one of my favorite teas. It is wonderful for sipping by itself. It tastes excellent at a variety of temperatures and strengths (I mean amount of tea to water) , as long as you don't go too hot or too long brewing time. Worth experimenting to find how you like it best.

Alex BevisJan 1, 2017, 20:09Everything you could want from asamushi sencha. If breewed at 180(temp in Kyusuq, not kettle) astringent but balanced flavor. Brewed at lower temperatures,170, more mild subtle taste, like gyokuro.

Vincent PassaroFeb 29, 2016, 07:06This is a great tea, very clean and warm. Be sure not to "overcook" it with water too hot or too long a steep.

Sean HardcastleAug 30, 2015, 14:19From the minute I opened the packet I knew I was in for a treat. A wonderful fresh grassy aroma. The leaf a beautiful deep green colour. When brewed, the first infusion was a nice mix of grassy and savoury, further infusions produced similar tastes, but with slight floral undertones. All in all a really beautiful tea, well worth the price. I will certainly order more.
Very thirst quenching. A delightful tea -
S SwintonMay 27, 2014, 04:58A lovely green tea, when I opened the packet the aroma was intense, really nice. I found it took me a few goes to get the temperature and quantity of leaves correct however, when I did... it was well well worth the effort!
