YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Japanese Organic Sencha Green Tea Loose Leaf 2.82oz

I’ve been drinking the Chaganju Sencha Green Tea for a couple of weeks now, and it’s quickly become part of my daily routine. As soon as I opened the bag, I could tell it was high quality—the leaves have that fresh, grassy scent that’s so distinct to good Japanese green tea.I brew it gently, and the result is this beautiful, clear green cup with a naturally sweet, slightly vegetal flavor. It’s smooth, not bitter at all, and doesn’t leave any weird aftertaste. If anything, it has a really clean finish that makes me want to sip slowly and savor it.What I love most is how calming it is. I’ve started swapping this in for my afternoon coffee, and I get just enough of a lift to stay focused without any of the jitteriness or crash later. It’s like a mental reset in a mug—light, refreshing, and grounding.The tea itself is super consistent. I’ve been re-steeping the leaves and still get a solid second brew without losing flavor. There’s something really peaceful about watching the leaves open up in the pot, especially if you’ve got a glass teapot.Honestly, this tea has brought a little ritual into my day that I didn’t even realize I needed. It’s simple, clean, and just really enjoyable. Definitely planning to keep it stocked.

Love this tea! It is a very nice flavor and easy to make. I consider this a special find and will be purchasing it again. It is a real gift to find new flavors. If you are a fellow foodee, you know what I am am talking about. This is delicious and when mixed with cream, honey, and a little bit of ginger makes for a decadent drink! For every day without all of that extra, it is a healthy option!

Good quality and it taste great

Sure, it is not as 'green' once brewed as other teas, but it does have a slight grass taste and clear color. The leaves bloom up in the water, so you know it is fresh stuff. Would buy again.

I'm still very young in my tea journey, so please don't expect the review of a connoisseur.Most teas green or otherwise that I've tried recommend 1 instead of 2 teaspoons of dry tea to 7oz of water, I followed the package directions which just suggested 2 teaspoons, and my hot water device is limited to 8oz. Steeped at 75C.The smell is unlike other green teas I've had, as far as loose leaf, the only other green tea I've tried is Vahdam's Himalayan Green. This tea has a much stronger flavor than Vahdam. When it hits my tongue I'd say the first flavor that I get is more of an earthy "mushroom" flavor, with a mild tea flavor in the background that fades into a little astringency and tea bitterness. (3min might be to long for a first steep.) There's definitely a plantlike flavor that cuts across the middle, but I definitely wouldn't call this "grassy." I would say there's a definite hint of "seaweed" in the mix.It reminds me of some of the teas I've had in Good sushi restaraunts, though my strainer is clearly not good enough as my brew looks more cloudy than what's represented in some of the pictures I've seen of this tea. The particles are light enough NOT to settle during the drinking of a single cup, it doesn't bother me at all.A second steep at 2min this time provides a flavorful green tea, less pronounced on the earthy/astringent/seaweed notes I described in the first steep (done for 3min).I wish this were a little less expensive, this is probably one of my favorite green teas I've tried, and while I still admit that I'm new to loose leaf, there's something about Japanese green teas overall that has a character unlike any other geographical region I've tried. This would definitely be a daily staple, this is something that on a cold rainy day I'd want to brew and sit down with a nice bowl of miso by a fire. Genuinely a great tea.

So delicious. Very nice cold, also.

This is the most expensive tea I have ever purchased. I am concerned that I am not sophisticated enough to enjoy it...The bag is smaller than I thought. It is my fault for not researching correctly. My first cup was bland, I regret buying this tea. The preparation instruction wont work with my rushed morning routine.

Just alright...

I really enjoyed this Yamasan Organic Sencha Green Tea. The leaves have a fresh, grassy aroma, and the tea brews into a beautiful light green color. The flavor is smooth, clean, and refreshing without being too bitter. It’s a lovely everyday green tea, especially when brewed with hot water that isn’t boiling. I would definitely buy it again!

Lovely green colour and tastes great. They say dont leave the tea leaves steeping too long.

While it's a great start if you finally want to try proper japanese green tea rather than those cheap bagged lipton green tea, here is a word of warning, you should have a temperature control kettle or at least a thermometer for water, because if you go like me and think "Oh, boiling hot water probably extracts more taste anyway, it will be just as good as there recommended 80C", you'll be correct on the first part, as it makes the tea very bitter, and nearly undrinkable.Once I figured out the issue, I tried cold brewing it, and it's pretty good that way, I personally liked the aftertaste, so in case you don’t have a way to get 80C water reliably, and still want to out green tea, you can do that.But for the price, I expected a little better, because I feel like this should be worth like 4 bucks cheaper than it is, but that might just be me.

Husband said it tastes expensive 🤔.. Well it is but I guess it's fair price for what you get

Bon produit j'adore le goût c'est sure que pas tout le monde aime sa mais ce produit goûté pas trop fort j'adore
