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

Amazing green tea! I thought I knew what green tea tasted like but this has changed my impression. This tea is super smooth with absolutely no astringency. Yes, it is pricey but absolutely worth every cent. The umami rich flavor is calming yet uplifting due to relatively high caffeine content. I cannot recommend this tea highly enough. If you are looking for a game changer for your tea time routine, try this unique tea and it will forever change your notion of what a green tea should taste like.

The aroma right out of the bag is rich and inviting. Once brewed, the tea delivers a gentle sweetness that lingers on the palate, and I appreciate how low the astringency is; even on subsequent steeps it stays smooth and easy-going without the sharp bite you can get from some other greens. Flavor-wise it leans into that refined umami you expect from Gyokuro, but it’s balanced by the natural sweetness and silky mouthfeel which makes every cup enjoyable. The cost-to-quality ratio is decent: while not the most premium Gyokuro out there, for daily sipping or sharing it holds its own. If you love aromatic, sweet, low-astringency Japanese greens, this is a tea worth trying.

This tea is lovely. It's smooth and refreshing and not too powerful tasting. No lie, I felt calm and relaxed after my first cup. Natural and so healthy. It's worth it!!

This green tea is amazing. The aroma is fresh and calming, and the taste is super smooth. A little bit goes a very long way, so it’s a great value for the price. It also leaves you feeling relaxed and refreshed. Highly recommend.

High quality gyokuro. I mixed mine with sencha since it was sweet for me. I was impressed with the sweetness without any added sugar. Sweet toothed folks will love this. Love the tin can that came with it. shorter cans mean lasting freshness for me. Again, too sweet for me so I blend with sencha. Worth the money.

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.

Very fresh and clean. Has a lovely light green color and delicate flavor. Not bitter at all. Leaves even taste delicious after brewing tea.

Very expensive, Very good, sweet and grassy. Good on the palate and warm on the soul! To be savored, it’s pricey!
