YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Sakura Sencha Green Tea Loose Leaf 80g

This is a great quality Hojicha tea and I keep ordering it. It smells declining and tastes authentic.

Amazing product my son love it! The taste is unbelievable! The first time we tried it at Japan House in London ( a famous Japanese Restaurant) and since then we have it every morning with our breakfast its a very light tea not heavy to drink in the morning We usually matching with our salted breakfast. Amazing product! I wish they'll sell a big packet options.

This tea is subtle tasting and caffeine free, ideal after meals or closer to bed time. The amount contained in the pack is excellent value for the price.

After living in Japan for a few years it’s great to know I can still get seasonal teas like this in the UK! The sakura flavour not only comes from cherry blossom but also the leaves, so it might not be as floral as you expect if it’s your first time trying it. If you like traditional Japanese sweets though, you’ll definitely like this! Takes me back to spring in Japan 🌸

I believe this is a very good quality green tea - it has the sediment at the bottom. I feel better from drinking it already. It looks very very green when brewed, and it brews faster than my other green teas I noticed. However - it loses a star for not many Sakura petals and the taste does not come through much. The expiry date has 11 months to spare - I better get drinking! I feel this date could be longer really as it’s very expensive at £12.99 for 100g, however I believe this is due to the green tea leaves being a superior quality compared to most.

Omg its supposed to be cherry blossom green tea LEAF!! its dust powder and taste nothing like cherry blossom just a standard green tea! Dose not smell or taste like it should I used very fine mesh and dust went everywhere on counter and bits all in drink

I drink tea but never really sought for anything special. Basically any tea will do for me. Just a random thought of having authentic Japanese tea and oh boy it is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I bought hojicha. It's a roasted green tea. As soon as I open the bag I can smell some sort of roasted seaweed - woody kinda smell. It was gorgeous. I let it steep as stated only 40 second. It tastes so so so good. It has distinct strong flavour in a sophisticated way. I love it! Highly recommend 10/10

Didn’t really know what to expect but I wasn’t a fan of the flavour.

I am a fan of Japanese teas of the less stratospheric variety. I enjoy drinking genmaicha (green tea with roasted brown rice mixed in it) hojicha (roasted green tea) and kukicha (kind of sticks and stems from the tea plant.) These are flavourful, not as caffeinated as regular black tea, and some such as genmaicha are anti-oxident and anti-inflammatory. I purchased this brand of hojicha after not having any of that kind of tea in the pantry for a couple of years. I was attracted by its being organic, and of a trustworthy brand. I like it, and have at least one cup a day every day in the afternoon, and maybe an additional cup with dinner. It needs to be made properly, so follow the instructions on the bag to the letter. I use a "tea egg" or "tea ball" in my cup to make the tea. My wife uses a tea strainer. Good luck.

I buy this green tea on repeat it’s my fav flavor of green tea not bitter

this is an excellent loose tea. Unfortunately now unavailable on amazon

An acquired earthy taste, but I love it. Was very fresh too. I get a bag monthly

Japanese visitors approved. The roasted scent and taste was a wonderful reminder of roasted tea back in Japan. Would buy again.
