深むし緑茶 Japanese Pure Green Tea （333g/11.74oz） Sen-Cha Ryoku-Cha Extra Volume & Special Price japanese green tea from Shizuoka Japan with a tracking number

I drink green tea every night during my 3rd shift to replace energy drinks. Ive been searching for a quality, bulk sencha that doesnt taste like the bottom-of-the-barrel stuff you usually get with 'bulk' tea.Besides the bag being sliced upon arrival, I am extremely impressed by this tea, especially for the price. Very aromatic. Sweet, grassy, umami. The quality is surprisingly close to my topshelf sencha. Beautiful deep-green tea leaves.Definitely follow the instructions for brewing time and temp or you will most likely get some bitterness.My new go-to!

I purchased this green tea and have been very satisfied. The quality is excellent, the price was reasonable, and it tastes exactly as expected. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a refreshing, healthy option at a great value.

Good quality sencha, but I have to sift the dust out and wash it thoroughly before brewing. Otherwise the taste is not as good because the smaller bits have too much surface area and brew very quickly. Once sifted and washed, I love the sencha. But I wish the processing softed out the sift and charged just a little bit more for a cleaner sencha. Even so I still buy it. It is my favorite every day sencha.

Not the best when judged by flavor, but if you like to make big batches of green tea for iced tea (like I do) then this is the perfect balance of quality and cost.

Great value Japanese green tea. Good color with green tea flavor and not too bitter

It was ok. I definitely have had better Sencha before

If you're familiar with Fukamushi (deep-steamed) teas, you'll know that they tend to have smaller leaf fragments, which some might describe as "dusty" or "powdery." This is completely normal for this style of tea, as the deeper steaming process breaks down the leaves more than traditional Sencha. For those new to this style, it might be unexpected, but rest assured, this doesn’t affect the quality or flavor negatively.Brewing this tea properly is essential to get the best flavor. Temperature and steep time are critical. If you steep it too long or use water that’s too hot, of course it’s not going to be delicious. I recommend brewing it at around 160-170°F (70-75°C) and keeping the steep time to 45-60 seconds for the first infusion. Subsequent steeps can be done shorter—about 15-30 seconds—since the leaves open up quickly. This careful approach will bring out the tea's rich, vegetal flavors while maintaining a smooth, balanced finish.In fact, this tea punches far above its price point, making it a fantastic economical choice for a daily drinker. The flavor is rich and satisfying when brewed correctly. Whether you're enjoying it hot or cold, it delivers versatility and flavor.I’ve seen some negative reviews about powderiness or a lack of flavor, but it's essential to remember that this is Fukamushi Sencha—its nature is to be more fragmented. If brewed with proper care, you’ll find it a truly enjoyable tea. I personally haven’t had any of the issues described in those reviews and have found this tea to be an incredible value for the price.For those who value flavor and affordability, this tea is a winner. If you’re expecting large whole leaves, you might be disappointed—but if you know what to expect from Fukamushi Sencha and brew it right, you’re in for a treat.

I excitedly received this yesterday. This morning I brewed my first pot. Unfortunately, it came out looking like stagnant pond water. Not completely deterred, I ran it thru a coffee filter. Nope, little improvement. Tried running thru another coffee filter. Nope again. Poured it down the sink and started over.This time, based on someone else's comment, I decided rinsing the tea first was the order of the day. I rinsed with cold water once, twice, and three times just to be thorough. Brewed another pot.It came out not quite as cloudy with less of the muddy brown color and more of a muddy green color.But, being a retiree on Social Security and a small pension, I remain frugal and poured myself a cup.The word "insipid" immediately springs to mind. The aroma is mild to weak, and to me, the flavor just doesn't please. It has a strange component that I can't place.The entire lot is now in the trash or down the drain. Since I can't identify that off-flavor, I'm even hesitant to put it in my compost pile.Amazon is forcing me to give it 1 star. I wouldn't if I didn't have to.
