- Aram AkhavanJan 11, 2024, 03:03Really nice sencha for a daily brew.
- 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.
- Denise FischerDec 5, 2017, 05:28This is excellent tea. I wish I could be more articulate with describing this tea but you will not be disappointed! I go to bed at night excited to wake up to have this tea!
- 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 MulfordAug 16, 2017, 08:38Exotic, herbal flavor. Lovely, a favorite for sure.
