Harney & Sons Japanese Sencha Green Tea, Loose Leaf, 4 oz | Japanese Sencha green tea from Shizuoka Province with a medium body and vegetal notes. 4 oz tin. Contains caffeine.

I’m so happy I tried this tea. Very delicious, soft and smells so good.

This is delicious!! unbelievably good!

Smooth taste!! Not grassy but a perfect blend of nature

First time trying Sencha. This is a good quality product but this being the first time tasting Sencha I have to say it tastes like spinach. High chlorophyll content. Not sure it’s for me but I have no complaints on quality or value.

Regarding Harney & Sons Japanese Sencha Tea: This loose leaf sencha tea is top quality! it's consistently light and sparkly/rich with a delightfully long and clean finish. And when I say long, I mean a lovely taste that lingers for many minutes after an each sip. No bitterness whatsoever, even on a long steep. I've had other sencha and jasmine teas as good, but I find they vary in quality, can be hard to find, are too expensive, not available in loose leaf, or go out of availability. The cup of Harney & Sons Japanese Sencha Tea now on my desk surprises me. I just found it in the back of my cupboard ... dated 2022! That says a lot about its longevity, the airtightness of the tin, and/or that somehow this tea ages like a fine cabernet! Somehow my new tries had pushed it to the back, and now their destined for the compost heap. Brewing is simple. I steep slightly less than a level tea spoon for 4 to 6 minutes. Second and third steeping produce very nice, slightly different tasting cups. Love steeping in my favorite tea infuser/strainer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CFQW79K8?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_12 I'd take off a star for not being organic, but some who want a great cup don't share that concern.

Like many of the Harney and Sons teas, I'm quite happy with the Japanese Sencha. It's not my favorite Sencha in the world, but the value of it is outstanding. Brewing at 60C, it's a medium-body green tea with a little sweetness, a little umami, and a little bitterness. It's somewhat middle of the road in flavor. But, it's also hard to screw up this Sencha. Perfect for people wanting to dive into the world of Japanese green tea. As is pretty well known, get the loose tea offering, as tea sold in sachets is usually of lower quality. Where I found this tea really shined is in cold-brewing. This method usually enhances the sweetness, and stretches the tea further. I start by filling a quart Mason jar with 10 grams of tea and cold water. I then let it sit several hours, even overnight. Strain it, and boom, a perfect drink for a warm day. Then the leaves can be reused. A nice, quality, consistent Sencha that I'll always have in my cabinet.

Tastes really bitter, almost like grass. I really didnt get the expected sencha flavor. The product was not expired and the packaging was perfect so I may have gotten a bad batch, or this type of sencha just isn't to my liking. The tin is great, and the tea came in an nicely packed airtight bag inside the tin. It was pleasant to open the product.

I've bought several of these cans of tea over the last several years. It is consistent in quality. Tastes great. Second steeping is as good as the first.

It comes in a vacuum-sealed pouch inside the tin; the tea is quite nice, it's not overly dry like most teas I've had in the past. Not sure if that's good or not, but it's a nice, easy to drink tea with a mild flavour. It's not overly grassy or anything, I really do like this tea.

El producto es muy bueno y lo compro regularmente, pero esta vez una de las bolsas selladas al vacío llegó rota y pegada con un trozo de cinta adhesiva. El envase exterior sí venía bien sellado, así que esto no sucedió en tránsito. Dado el alto precio, y teniendo en cuenta que el producto no admite devolución, es especialmente grave que sucedan estas cosas.

It has a "deep green" flavor that is like kelp or dulse and makes me think of the sea. Very tasty to my palette. Much better than all the other green teas I have tried over the years.

This is the second time purchasing this tea. Very happy and will buy again.

This is the best sencha tea I tasted so far. It's soft, tasty, not bitter, and it doesn't taste like grass.
