Ocha & Co. Organic Sencha - Loose Leaf Japanese Green Tea - High Grade Sencha Green Tea - Mild, Rich & Refreshing Premium Tea, 100g/3.5oz.

Tastes great!

This is the best green tea I've tasted yet from an Amazon seller. I'm sure you could get something better in Japan, but this one is good enough for me. The big plus is that this green tea comes in a vacuum-sealed package. This means the smell when you open the bag is amazingly fresh and good, not stale as has been my experience with some other brands on Amazon with cooler-looking packaging. Nope, this tea smells AND tastes great. But, word to the wise, you need to really watch your water temperatures and steep times with green tea. A few degrees too hot and your tea will look wrong and taste like water. You really just want warm water for less than a minute. Follow the steeping instructions on the packaging, but when in doubt, let your water cool off even more before steeping. Enjoy!

Not an expert, but have tried many different senchas over the years at vastly different price points. So happy to have found Ocha & Co.'s teas - the quality and taste is unmatched at the price it goes for. I've tried a few brands that were slightly cheaper or around the same price, and nothing compares to the complexity of flavors, the buttery-ness, and freshness of this sencha. There's no lingering weird overwhelming grassy barnyard flavor as other reviewers have mentioned, just pure blissful tea. Will be ordering again!

great product, good quality, fair price, has a smooth taste, reminds me of Asia,try it you'll like it a lot

Incredible - deep deep umami followed by light notes of fresh dew and alpine, with a long lasting finish similar to chicken broth. Incredible work - probably cheaper than it should be for its quality. 10/10

I don't exactly consider myself a connoisseur, but I've had some damned fine senchas and this one ranks among the best in spite of its modest price compared to the senchas marketed as super-premium and such. As others have mentioned the color is a deep green rather than a pale or a yellow one. Texture is buttery, flavor is only slightly grassy and astonishingly naturally sweet—I normally add sugar to cheaper teas but even a small amount of sugar completely spoils the magical flavor if this tea. Astringency is very mild, and there are these wonderful floral notes that emerge when you give a good smack with a mouthful. Recently I've been into Chinese greens but, my god, this sencha is so awe-inspiringly good that it's bound to become my daily drinker. Brewing tips: aim for 170-175 degrees fahrenheit. Supposedly, first bringing the water to a boil and then letting is cool will oxygenate the water and yield a better brew. 1 gram per 50mL of water is what's typically recommended for loose leaf sencha, though I use perhaps 10% less than that. It's very important not to overextract this tea—I did my first extraction for 1:30 and that was way too much, it came out bitter! 1:00 seems like the way to go. As is always the case with a good green tea, you can easily get a good 3 infusions out of the leaves. I can't thank you enough for providing such a wonderful product to us tea lovers in the States, Ocha & Co!

These bags are usually vacuum-sealed super tight, but the bag I purchased here was not, and there was a bunch of air inside. Still technically usuable but huge flavor loss. Will not purchase through Amz again.

Received fresh in its vacuum sealed non resealable pouch. I had to transfer the contents to a tea canister. I've had green teas before, but not sencha. Very satisfied with the taste and quality of this tea. No bitterness and very little astringency after brewing 3 tsp in 16oz for 90secs at 175°F. Best green tea I've had so far! But expensive! That's why I'm giving it only four stars.

Sehr, sehr guter Sencha. Da ich sehr großen Wert darauf lege bei grünem Tee auf Bio zu achten-ich allerdings die echte Bioqualität hier nicht einschätzen kann- habe ich diesen Tee getestet. Für mich geschmacklich, eine absolute Kaufempfehlung. Sehr lecker, angenehm intensiv, mit einem sehr feinen Aroma. Diesen Tee werde ich öfter kaufen.

emballage sous vide , résistant tres bon thé , un peu cher

Buon rapporto qualità prezzo. Soddisfatto !

Ein sehr herrlich duftender und schmeckender Tee. Das ist der beste Grüntee wo ich bis jetzt getrunken habe.

Arriva sottovuoto quindi le foglie sono spezzate in piccoli pezzi
