Fantastic

This tea has a delightful, grassy aroma and deep flavor that I love and have been looking for ever since my local supplier closed down. I'm so glad to have found this here!

The best out there

Ignore any bad reviews of this tea you see...hate to say it, but if they don't like it, it means they didn't brew it correctly. This is the smoothest, most buttery Japanese green tea on the market. I brew it at 160 (no hotter!!!) for a max of 3 minutes. I use probably 3/4 of a tsp for 12 ounces. Make sure your water is filtered! I start my day with this tea every morning. I stock up every time they have it on sale (which is RARE). This is the real deal.

Lovely tea !

This Shincha is very relaxing tea very mellow but bold enough to lock my interest in, I didn’t go beyond second strep and used less tea than recommended tea !
