I love the clean packaging and the taste. Highly recommended. Read more
If you want it strong and bold , 5 minutes and maybe even a little more...and two teas bags per cup. Great if you are trying to cut back on coffee. You can drink it with milk and sugar/honey. Read more
This definitely smells roasted; it has an interesting and unique scent to it. I did my due diligence and pulled out my variable temperature kettle for this, as it requires a water temperature of 180 degrees. Green tea can become very bitter at higher temperatures, so I wanted to follow the directions exactly for the best possible experience. It only wanted a steep time of 30-60 seconds, which is very short, but it produced a very dark-colored tea in 60 seconds, and I had no problem extracting the bag with confidence that the tea wouldn't be weak. It doesn't taste like green tea; I'd say it reminds me more of black tea but with a more complicated flavor profile, like oolong. I can't say I've had anything like it, and I own a large collection of teas. The bags come wrapped in foil sachets. The bags themselves are made of mesh with a string attached. At the MSRP (9.99 for 10 bags at the time of review) it seems very reasonable for a unique tea experience. Read more

You’re not going to find anything better than this sencha. So stop looking and buy it. The Goyokoro is also great! Read more
Better than other brands in taste, lacks aroma. Read more
I love green tea and wanted to try something different so got this roasted green tea. First it comes in a box that isn’t sized like your typical tea bag box. It is more elongated than typical, if that matters to you for storage purposes. The bags are individually wrapped which is nice for using for guests. It comes in a lovely mesh tea bag. The bag spilled a little powder when I was putting it in the cup which meant I had a little powder in my tea, but it wasn’t bad. The tea has a rich dark color, my picture is with hardly any steeping I didn’t want it too strong. The aroma of the tea reminds me of a roasted coffee smell, but not as strong as coffee. I am comparing everything to coffee, but the roasted taste really does remind me of coffee. If you like coffee, you will probably love this drink. It has some green tea notes, but they are very subtle. Mostly you taste the rich roasted flavor of the tea. Read more



I'm trying to develop a taste for green tea and I dont think these help at all because they have such a surprising taste. This tea ends up being more of an Oolong taste for me without the grassiness or vegetal flavor that I expect in green tea. This is decently strong but smooth and very drinkable. So while I can't use this to get a taste for green tea, I can drink and enjoy it for what it is. The tea bags are nicely made, love the individual packaging for travel and sharing. Seems like a very high quality tea. Very happy with it! Read more
I grew up drinking Hojicha sometimes and I think this one tastes pretty good. Hojicha is very flavorful and has like a osenbei, baked rice cake taste to it. I don't recommend you brew it for too long because it can get pretty strong. The tea bags are individually wrapped and when I opened the wrapper some tea dust (that's what it looks like) escaped onto my dining room table. I noticed this happens to green tea bags sometimes, and I'm sure it was a bit traumatized by mail carrier. It was a bit more than usual though. I guess 4 stars because it's good, but not like, super exceptional. If you're looking for hojicha that isn't too expensive and but still tastes like real tea, this is it! Maeda-en quality in my opinion is quite reliable too. Read more
