Sencha (Steamed) Green Tea - Pure Loose Leaf Tea - Directly From The Kagoshima Prefecture In Japan - 1 Pound (16 Oz.) Pouch

It's a little pricey, but I am so glad I can get this long time favorite from Fusion Teas.

My previous bulk-order favorite organic Sencha was discontinued (Choice Teas), and I've been buying small bags of Sencha from various vendors, which are much more expensive. I found this tea in a search, when my last bag ran out, and decided to give it a go.It is a good tea, but much more heavily steamed than the Sencha I'm used to...giving it more of a Gunpowder flavor, than a pure, bright and grassy Sencha flavor.I've got a pound of it to drink, which will take quite a while, so we'll see if my preferences shift over that time...

I like jasmine green tea that (a) has a noticeable jasmine presence, (b) is not especially bitter, yet (c) has a noticeable green tea flavor. This tea meets those criteria at a good price. I expect I'll buy more. If you live near a Kroger or equivalent, you might try their "Private Selections" bulk jasmine green tea, a close second for the above criteria/price.Updating a few months later. If I had about 3 or 4 times as much saved for my retirement I would buy this tea. It is very nice. I just can't justify the extra $1.29/ounce that it costs over Kroger's "Private Selection Jasmine Green loose leaf Tea". Which I actually prefer to what I get at our local Asian store (it has a smoother, I suppose milder, green tea flavor which I prefer). If you are ok with the price (and it is indeed less than other jasmine teas) then I highly recommend it and wish you pleasant enjoyment of it!

A little pricey for me, but really tasty. A teaspoon in 160 degree water for two minutes works well. As it brews the leaves probably triple in size. I've been using the same teaspoon for two cups of tea.. the second one is a little weak, but it beats plain old water. :)

it tastes amazing but is wayyy too expensive. you can buy cheaper teas in bulk that taste the same!

I like strong tea. Making strong green tea requires more than I would normally use for black tea. I'm ok with that. This tea has very large leaves once steeped. I despise teas that are mostly dust and stems; this is not one of those. I'm happy with this and the Telyra match/sencha that I just finished. These will both do nicely until Japan can start shipping tea again. F*!#$%( Covid.

The person I bought this for says they absolutely loved it. However when I ordered it, it took at least a month to show up. The seller had a snobbishly cocky attitude. For this price I want the tea alot faster with alot less lip and excuses.

I grind this up using coffee grinder and brew as a cold brew. Excellent color, flavor and aroma. Quality separated whole green leaves.
