There is a difference in flavor between regular Sencha and Organic Sencha. Personally, I prefer the Organic Sencha. Whether loose leaf or in tea bags this is a great blend. Even if you're into the traditional loose leaf form don't overlook the tea bags. Tucked away i...(more)

Along with the other tasting set, this is the best way to discover what you like and don't when it comes to green tea. What's more enjoyable is discovering teas I've not tried before and discovering they are all great. By the time you nearing the end of your suppl...(more)

This tasting set, along with the other, is a great way to determine what you enjoy and prefer. Do take the time to read the instruction brochures. Water temperature and length of time to steep a tea does make a difference for authenticity and pure enjoyment, but it's...(more)

This is simply a wonderful tea! The aroma and flavor never go wrong even when I don't pay attention to the proper water temperatures or length of time to brew. It is fast becoming my new favorite.

This is an awesome gift for anyone who has ever visited or lived in Japan. It was particularly thrilling as a gift for some transplanted Japanese families living here in the USA. Yes, they had their own local supply for tea and foods, but it was the packaging, the wa...(more)

If you drink green tea all your waking day then this is the tea to drink after 3PM when you want to reduce your caffeine intake so you get a great nights sleep. Even if you brew it with too hot a water temperature it doesn't make you drowsy like chamomile tea. I rema...(more)

Please see my review of the Forest sampler set. Both the Forest and River samplers are a generous collection of teas and in convenient teabag form I can take everywhere. Even in restaurants I can order hot water and no one seems to mind my making my own tea. I am now...(more)
