Enrich Sencha Loose Leaf

I drink Japanese sencha every day and always buy loose tea. This is my first experience with fukamushi sencha and the brewing is challenging. I bought a water thermometer to test the temperature is correct and also read brewing instructions online. I still don't get a good cup of tea. It is tasteless or mild after the first pour. I will keep trying as the other reviewers get better results. For me, the fine broken leaves which are close to dust, just don't bring out the flavor the same as the loose leaf normal sencha that I usually brew. (Uji sencha) I bought quite a lot of this tea so I hope I can find the brewing method for consistent flavor

Sugimoto's loose leaf sencha is fragrant and flavorful. It has all the tasting notes one would expect from a high-quality sencha. Having lived and worked in Japan and tasted sencha from different tea-growing regions, I am partial to sencha from Shizuoka Prefecture. However, since I returned to the United States, I haven't found many tea farmers in that region who can ship overseas. Now that I've discovered Sugimoto, I will be ordering more tea from this company. Very highly recommended!

Such a great daily driver of a tea, wonderful and simple. Very rich in umami flavors, as well as very herbal.

I am very impressed with this tea, and very pleased to see it offered in a smaller portion but large enough to really get to know this tea. The aroma was a deep vegetal decent, reminiscent of steamed vegetables, with a subtle nutty undertone. The flavor profile was impressive with a balance of sweetness and umami and a distinct grassy taste that was not too overpowering. The finish was smooth with just a hint of astringency that gave it a pleasant mouthfeel and brought a nice balance to the tea. Overall, I was impressed with this tea's complexity of flavors and quality. It's a great choice for green tea enthusiasts looking for a well-rounded taste experience.

This is some of the best green tea I've had. It's grassy, vegetal, nutty, and a hint of sweet and not bitter at all. It's also a great value.

Preference is subjective, I know, so I ill not name drop. But I will say this..... I have drank this variety of Japanese green tea for a very long time and have tried many different varieties. So I was on the hunt for some good and not too expensive Japanese green tea. I bought this item, and two other ones. This one was 10ish dollars, the other 2 were 16ish. Kind of expensive for the amount you get...... but interestingly, this one was far superior in concentration, taste, and value $. I only use a little bit to make a thermos. It is vividly green. I nearly always overdo it because the small amount I put seems like it would not be enough. The other varieties I was putting almost double for the same strength. All three were the same consistency as far as how much the leaves were ground (so it was not a surface area thing). So I decided today to order two more of these. Very happy with this brand. Every time I drink it I am like wow this is good green tea. I think most people that appreciate that special flavor from good Japanese green tea will be impressed with this, especially for the money. I have had almost as good for less money, but it was hard to find most of the places I have lived. And those other brands I recently had that cost 50% more just could not compete IMO.

Excellent quality. Grassy, vibrant. Also good enough for up to 4 infusions. Highly recommended.

Amazing flavor and color! Resealable bag is really nice to retain freshness.

Save this for a day you want to spoil yourself. It is pricey for the quality, but higher in quality. Not the best you ever had, but worth the buy. I suggest buying 4 bags to keep you set for the month if this is your only stash.
