Japanese Tea

Types of Japanese green tea include Sencha, Gyokuro, Matcha, Bancha, Hojicha, Kukicha and Genmaicha. Matcha is the powdered tea most often drunk during Japanese tea ceremonies, while sencha is the most popular green tea drunk most often by everyday Japanese citizens.

Teaviews Member: Stephen Stephen's review:
"A delicious pear-flavored green tea... the flavor is more akin to candied pears, and is sweeter and more concentrated than in most similar blends."

Teaviews Member: David David's review:
"A quality sencha with a sweet and slightly bitter, grassy quality. The cherry flavor is subtle but complimentary. This is one of my favorite green teas from Den's Tea."

Zhi Tea Japan Genmaicha

7/10  —  1 review
Teaviews Member: Numi Numi's review:
"This is a good genmaicha, but it doesn’t live up to its aroma; it’s tasty and fun, but I will probably keep looking for my ideal genmaicha."

Tea Table Green Japan Cherry

7/10  —  1 review
Teaviews Member: Stephen Stephen's review:
"Floral on the tongue, with nicely-balanced cherry flavor in the aftertaste... one of the few cherry-flavored teas that doesn't come off tasting completely artificial."

"A fairly good tea... both sweetness and ginger were promised by this tea's description, however, and I detected neither."

Just4Tea Jasmine Bloom

6/10  —  1 review
Teaviews Member: Nicole Nicole's review:
"Not an awful tea, but the jasmine flavor was almost impossible to detect, and it actually bloomed upside down... as a "blooming tea" experience, I've had better."

Art of Tea Eisai's Choice Sencha

5/10  —  1 review
Teaviews Member: Shane Shane's review:
"More floral-tasting, instead of the vegetal taste most sencha fans will be looking for... these leaves didn't hold up well for multiple infusions."
