Best tea I’ve had!!
This Japanese green tea is surely the best tea i’ve ever had in my whole entire life! I absolutely love the complexity and umami and taste of this wonderful tea. It is really rich and satisfying. I tried eating the leaves too - because i read that the remaining tea leaves are really good for your health. It was surprisingly good as well! Surprising because i heard that the sencha leaves are not really nice, but i think this one is nice even if i eat.

It's a very good tasting tea - at a good price
It looks a bit on the expensive side but the size is pretty big too. It's 100g - unlike for example a Fukujyuen sencha you buy at the same price for 50g. and the taste of this is way better than the one of Fukujyuen. I'm really happy with my purchase, I'll try different tea out too.

Way better than what you find in Singapore
This is great tea. Forget the tea you find in Japanese supermarkets or malls. This is way better than those you can find in SG. It's cheaper than most high-end tea but is definitely much better, totally worth the price. One thing is that it only comes in a bag that's not seal-able. You'll need a canister or some kind of a clever way to seal the bag after you open it. I don't have a canister so I'm using one of those big clamps you can buy at IKEA. It seems to work so far. I'm planning to try some of the other tea too.

Great Tea
Make sure you make it properly but if you follow the steps it makes really good green tea. I'll order again.
