Organic Sencha Sae Midori
This organic green tea hails from Kirishima Kagoshima and is of course harvested from the first round of young leaves. Medium-steamed (chūmushi) this Organic Sae Midori has a lovely green color. With a strong aroma, flavorful umami taste, and nice balance of astringency, this organic sencha is nicely balanced and is one of our best aquasitions of the year. As with all of our loose leaf green teas, packaged in nitrogen flushed packaging.

SunnyJan 21, 2020, 03:04mellow, sweet, and umami. brews to a very nice deep green color. good for beginners since it can be brewed a bit hotter and longer imo

Daniel MulfordJul 13, 2017, 08:23It's a decent tea, but it's not a personal favorite, since it doesn't seem to have much distinctive character. I found myself steeping it a bit longer than usual to get the flavor I wanted.

Alessio ColettaJun 8, 2017, 22:20Even though this tea is not fukamushi (deep-steamed) it has a very beautiful green colour. I found it to be pleasantly sweet and grassy, with delicate notes of slight bitterness. The smell the package emanated at first was amazing. Great deal with the price. Definitely recommended.
