Loose Leaf Green Tea, Japanese Sencha, 4 Ounce

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.

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.

Further proof that tastes vary. Yes, this is a quality green tea and it does have a decent flavor. I know sencha is supposed to be "vegetal", but this is a bit much for me. Harvey's does make an enjoyable loose leaf green tea seeping if not done for too long. The lighter the better for me in this case. I also purchased this to use in my new matcha machine since quality tencha leaves are so hard to come by. It grinds well and makes a passable matcha -- though not on par with ceremonial grade pre-ground teas or even many of the culinary grade. If a green tea with lots of umami is your thing, then H&S do it right here. It is a good tea. It may be a bit overwhelming for some however. If you tend to like black, puh-er and darker oolong teas, then this may not be for you. ~ Kort
