Senbird Premium Gyokuro, Japanese Shade Grown Green Tea - Isshin From Kyoto Japan - Imperial Loose Leaf Green Tea In Airtight Tea Tin (1.76oz/50g)

I am absolutely thrilled with the Gyokuro Isshin! The flavor profile has a wonderful umami, reminiscent of fresh seaweed, with a lingering subtle sweetness that is truly a genuine pleasure. It's a very nice tea for quiet moments of reflection, or to just take a moment away from a busy day. The care and craftsmanship in this tea is apparent, and not just in the wonderful flavor, but also in the thoughtful packaging. Senbird put a great deal of care in their tea tins, and it really shows. I look forward to savoring every cup and can't recommend it enough to anyone looking for a truly premium tea experience.

Really good green tea. Has just the right amount of flavor!

This is a delicate and very refreshing tea. It comes with instructions that clearly explain how to properly make the tea. This is my treat on cold and rainy days or any time my spirits need a lift. Comfort and gentle energy in a cup.

This is the third gyokuro I have tried in a week (we are tasting different brands and cultivars). And it is clearly the best one. First steep was creamy and sweet, second steep, I felt like I was drinking beautiful green dew. I think I had about 4 steeps and each one was great. Now I know why gyokuro is considered to be such a great tea. I love the tea tin --it is such a nice touch and much appreciated. I can't wait to try senbird's other teas. They clearly know what they are doing in the tea business.

As a tea lover, I prefer loose leaf tea and gyokuro is one of my absolute favorites. This particular tea, from Sendbird, is lighter bodied than some other gyokuro's I've had in the past (from other company's that have a much more grassiness, which I tend to gravitate toward), but it's still very enjoyable and has a smooth quality, with no bitterness....very difficult to over brew this one. It's one I'd definitely order again to keep in the pantry along side the more robust teas.

The first thing I would like to say up front is that I'm diving back into tea since I am now more financially able to do so. This was one of my personal favorites straight from Senbird. If brewed properly, there will be an abundance of flavors presence. From a strong umami to hints of different types of subtle sweet flavors that leave a pleadant impression on the tongue!It's a great tea and I definitely encourage anyone to experiment with different temperatures and gram amounts to see what flavors you may get! This is certainly one of Japan's greatest teas, which also serves as a great coffee alternative with its natural caffeine content and calming effect afterwards.Definitely amazing. Will be purchasing more from this company in the future.

I am so happy to find this tea on Amazon. It is extremely high quality Japanese green tea. It’s expensive, but it’s worth it. I won’t throw away the tea leaves after I drink the tea. You can mix the leftover leaves in a bowl of carefully made Japanese rice, and add a few drops of soy sauce. Just think about the colors...

Pure trash, not worth it
