SUGIMOTO TEAJapanese Green Tea Sencha Tea Bags 20 Count Pack of 3

I got this tea because I love tea and when it comes to Japanese green teas, I was looking for something like Ito En. Whether I make it normally or cold brew it, it has a sweet earthy flavor and when cold brewed, tastes no different than Ito En bottled tea. The color is a bit more amber than the usual green tint, it's due to infusing it more than once in the picture.For the cost vs having to buy a bottle of Ito En or in bulk, this is inexpensive and you control the strength too.

Once in a while I order other sencha products, but when I return to the Sugimoto I'm reminded that this is better than any other I've tried. Don't make a purchase decision based on a few dollars difference in cost. This is worth every penny.

I got this green tea on sale, and I am glad I did! It is grassy like matcha, but less bitter. It arrived quickly, will buy again!

A good basic sencha for the price. Brewed 2.5g per 100ml water, 80c/176f, 60s first steep/30s second/150s third.The good:Tastes like a basic Sencha. Looking at the leaves, smelling the leaves, it isn't low quality and cheaply/badly processed sencha that's common in cheapest-to-produce "sencha" made outside of Japan.Doesn't taste stale. Probably 2021 harvest if I had to guess, but I could be wrong.Not a bad everyday Sencha.The not great:It says on the bag it uses a mix of Spring (Ichibancha/first flush, the most sought after harvest) and Summer (Nibancha, second flush) tea leaves. You can definitely tell that it isn't a standard first flush sencha, though that doesn't mean it's a bad tea.The flavor is pretty light considering it's a fukamushicha, which are known for their deep, strong, brothy flavors/mouthfeel. My best guess is that this tea is mostly second flush with some first flush leaves mixed in to balance out the flavor, deep steamed to bring out better flavor compared to a standard later flush tea rather than deep steamed for the trademark Fukamushi tasting profile. Another giveaway is the color of the liquor, it's not the strong, almost completely opaque green that you normally get from a deep steamed sencha.Overall, like I said earlier, not a bad everyday sencha. You can definitely get better quality for the same price, but you'd have to be willing to spend a lot more money in a single purchase to make shipping cost worth it direct from Japan or pay a premium for already imported tea.

has the best tasting green tea and can make 2 cups easily on one teaspoon. No grassy tastelike others and pleasant smell and looks.

If you like a good tasting green tea this is it! Some green teas can have a harsh or bitter taste to them but this one does NOT. I'VE tried many green teas online and everywhere I go. This one is by far MY FAVORITE. It has the health benefits of green tea but still the smooth taste that I enjoy. If you are looking for the health benefits here is a tip: when you make your tea, boil your water and then let it sit for about 1-2 min then add the hot water to your cup with the tea bag in it. Don't boil the water with the tea bag in it or put boiling water on the tea, that can degrade the tea reducing many of the health benefits. And try to make sure once you open your bag of tea you keep the tea in a sealed container/bag to prevent oxidation. Just some tips to get the most out of this amazing tea😊

This is my favorite genmaicha. Easy to brew, sweet, popcorny, and a great way to wind down for the night. Unfortunately, I ordered a 3-pack, but only one of them arrived.

The tea is very delicate. After some trial and error I found that heating the water to 175F and brewing for no more than 40 seconds brings out some really nice sweet flavors supported by a full bodied grassy green tea richness. Any hotter or longer and it becomes quite bitter. Very good value for the price.

I guess it depends on your taste, but I really like this green with roasted rice loose leaf tea. In fact, I will buy it again.
