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. Review: Authentic Japanese Green Tea - A Pure, Refreshing Experience ! - I recently had the pleasure of trying authentic green tea from Japan, and I can confidently say it exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I opened the package, I was greeted by a fresh, grassy aroma that instantly transported me to the serene tea fields of Japan. The flavor is exceptionally smooth and well-balanced—naturally sweet with a slight vegetal note and just the right touch of bitterness. It’s clear that this tea was cultivated and processed with care and tradition. The vibrant green color of the brew is another sign of its high quality, especially in varieties like sencha or gyokuro, which are known for their deep umami flavor. What really stood out to me was the calming effect it had. Unlike the jittery buzz of coffee, this green tea provides a gentle energy boost paired with a sense of mindfulness—perfect for a midday break or a moment of relaxation. If you’re a tea enthusiast or simply looking for a healthier, more refined beverage, I highly recommend trying Japanese green tea. It’s more than just a drink—it’s a cultural experience in a cup. ## Features - ORGANIC SENCHA GREEN TEA - Certified 100% organic by JONA & JAS.

We proudly collaborate with local tea masters and have the privilege of working with a charming tea plantation that has been preserved by dedicated tea farmers for over 350 years, tracing back to the Genroku era - SENCHA LOOSE LEAF TEA – JAPAN’S MOST POPULAR GREEN TEA – As the most consumed Japanese green tea, sencha tea accounts for nearly 80% of the country's tea production. Our sencha green tea loose leaf undergoes a traditional gentle steaming process to preserve its natural nutrients and deliver a refreshing, umami-rich taste. This loose organic green tea is ideal for daily drinking, and thanks to its high quality, it adapts beautifully to various brewing preferences – from deep-steamed (fukamushi) to light-steamed sencha. - CAREFULLY CURATED, SMALL-BATCH BLENDED TEA – Our team of experienced tea masters carefully selects the finest organic green tea leaves, predominantly from the first harvest of Yabukita and Saemidori cultivars. The result is a beautifully balanced organic sencha green tea loose leaf that highlights the natural sweetness, astringency, and aromatic complexity of Japanese loose green tea. We blend in small batches for maximum freshness and flavor consistency across every cup. - FAR-INFRARED ROASTED FOR DEPTH AND FLAVOR – The secret to our distinctive flavor lies in our expert roasting method. Using far-infrared roasting, we unlock the tea’s deep umami and signature fragrance, giving this green tea loose a warm, full-bodied character. This special roasting method enhances the inherent sweetness and smooth finish of organic Japanese loose leaf green tea, setting it apart from standard commercial teas. - VERSATILE HOT & COLD BREW OPTIONS – Whether you prefer a warm cup of comfort or a cool, invigorating refresher, our sencha green tea adapts to your needs. For a revitalizing hot brew, steep the green loose leaf tea at lower temperatures to enjoy its healthful catechins and gentle bitterness. For summer days, try Mizudashi (cold brew) – simply steep in cold water to produce a smoother, naturally sweet green leaf tea organic with a crisp taste and reduced caffeine. Ideal for tea ceremonies, daily drinking, or pairing with traditional Japanese sweets. - From Father's Day and summer entertaining to back-to-school season, discover premium authentic Japanese teas from Yamasan Kyoto Uji.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - chaganju Green Tea leaves Sencha, JAS Certified Organic, Japanese Green Tea, Uji-Kyoto, 80g Bag, Sencha Green Tea, Loose Leaf【YAMASAN】 - Snap Ball Tea Strainer, JEXCULL 3 Pack Premium Stainless Steel Tea Infuser with Handle for Loose Leaf Tea Fine Mesh Tea Balls Filter Infusers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/28512477-yamasan-kyoto-uji-sencha-green-tea-loose-leaf-jas-certified](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/28512477-yamasan-kyoto-uji-sencha-green-tea-loose-leaf-jas-certified) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-04*
