Customer Reviews

Addicted to this tea.
I bought this at the local Asian market, sat down on a rainy weekday to watch Garden of the Finzi Continis and was instantly mesmerized by its freshness, seaweedy taste, and the whole harmony of that moment. I couldn't get enough of it- I drank 6-8 cups a day for a month. It's just a great complement to anything that you've eaten. I bought the Sencha Special Grade from Upton Tea, thinking it must be better than this since it's twice as expensive, but the Yamamotoyama is a shade better for my taste. I can never go back to tea bags, especially tasteless brands like Bigelows or Tazo. I don't mind some black tea bags, but not the fannings they use in green tea bags. Green tea has got to be one of the best things in life.

Great tea- great price
This tea tastes the same as the top-of-the-line tea I used to buy at Teavana and it costs 1/3 the price. I rarely drink anyhting else anymore because I cannot find a better tasting tea an any price.

My favorite green tea!
The pouch is vacuum sealed and holds about 100gms of delicate, deep-emerald, leaves. I use about a tsp for a 12-16oz cup. It is very important to avoid using boiling water if you want to get the full benefits and flavor of this tea. Water at a rolling boil will overcook the tea and you will notice that the tea quickly turns brown in the cup. If you adhere to directions and use water at 80 deg. C., you will be left with a wonderful cup of GREEN tea that stays green. I absolutely love the fresh, grassy flavor of this tea and it is a wonderful pick-me-up. The first sip of this tea leaves a distinctly sweet note on the tongue even though there is no actual sugar in the tea! I have spent hundreds on different teas, but I keep returning to this one as my staple.
