Chaganju Sencha Green Tea Loose Leaf, JAS Certified Organic Japanese Tea from Uji, Kyoto, 80g Bag, Sencha Tea, Loose Leaf

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.

I’ve traveled to Japan twice and love everything about the country. It’s awesome I can now order products on Amazon that are like what I found there. The leaf quality is excellent … you don’t need a lot to achieve the color, flavor and smoothness. If you’re only used to flavored “green tea products” this may not be for you. I picked this product looking for authentic flavor and am very pleased … have reordered multiple times!

I am not familiar with tea outside of from a coffee shop or bagged tea, which I drink frequently: this is the first time I've ever had tea like this. I followed instructions on how to prepare Japanese tea, and I think the best way to describe it was that it was an experience. The taste was beautiful. I only used it a few times so far, but this is something that makes me want to stop running around for a few minutes and just sit and drink it.

It's really great tea but it's shipped in an envelope which means that a fair amount of it gets ground to dust, I've bought it several times and always have this problem. I believe it would be better to ship it in a nice, cosy box.

This tea was a straight up 10/10.Nice smooth grassy flavor.The caffeine feel gives a solid little kick in energy but it definitely has a relaxing effect on me that I don’t get with coffee. I could easily drink this in the evening and have no issues getting to sleep, which I cannot do if I were to drink the same amount of coffee at night

I am drinking it right now. The strands are long and swell when you make tea with them, a very strong flavor, a good tea.

Great value for high quality organic Japanese Sencha tea. I enjoy at least two cups every morning and the health benefits. Not a fan of tea from China.

The tea is good tasting, my only gripe is that the expiration date on this tea should easily be about 9 or more months later in time denoting excellent freshness.
