Yamamotoyama Sencha Green Tea Bags, Value Pack, 90 Tea Bag Count, Caffeinated

I found about this brand from my sister. I use 1-2 bags per day and enjoy the green tea flavor. I have also tried jasmine and enjoyed that as well. The only flavor from this brand I do not like is the oolong (it has an off flavor). I find that I can use a tea bag to make two 12 ounce teas without losing flavor. Any further use and it will not have much tea flavor. I have been using this brand for several years and have been happy with the product.

I was on my way to Japan. In the flight, the flight attendant asked me if I wanted any hot beverages. I asked for a green tea. She came with a cup with a hot water and a packet of Yamamotoyama Sencha tea. That was the first time I drank this tea and fell in love with it. It smells fresh and has a strong umami taste. The caffeine is not like coffee, in which it hits you hard in about 30 minutes, lasts for a few hours and then you get into a slump. The green tea caffeine builds up slowly and keeps you fresh and awake for a good number of hours before it dials down gradually. The great thing is you never get that slump after the effects are gone. Moreover, it is not even addictive. I occasionally skip drinking it and never had a headache or anything. Give it a try.

High praise. More expensive but worth it for quality.

I went back to buy the Organic version because I’ve heard they spray the heck out of these tea leaves to keep bugs away. The tea itself is lovely, very mild and wonderful to add to my evening routine, or anytime really. Remember to add water that is “low” heat for green tea, and not to steep more than four minutes. My Cuisinart electric kettle has heat settings for everything, so it’s perfect!!

A bit pricier than the Sencha I usually buy, but much more flavorful.

OK - if you are a tea person, you'll probably be familiar with high quality Japanese Sensha teas. This stuff is pretty good for what it is, which is a commercial bagged tea. Don't expect more from it and you'll be happy. Personally, I find it make a really excellent light cold-brew. I put 5 bags into a gallon of water, tuck it into the fridge, and 24 hours later I have a very refreshing iced tea. Add a bag of peppermint tea to the mix and live the good life.

I love tea, and I have not found a better green tea bag. A good easy drinker, if you follow the brewing instructions it is quite literally perfect.

Love this brand of tea. Had it at a ramen place and just had to buy a pack for myself. Came in a box and in individual packs. Green tea is my favorite. It tastes good just as is. I don’t add anything to it. It helps me relax and digest after a heavy meal! Or even if I just want something warm to drink at night. Worth the price. Would buy again.
