Genuinely surprised by how fresh these taste for teabags — that green, slightly sweet finish you usually only get from loose leaf. Nice knowing the leaves actually come from Shizuoka too, not some vague "Sencha" blend.

The Shizuoka leaves brew up grassy and fresh, without the bitterness I usually get from supermarket bags. Steeping one bag for about two minutes gives a clean cup that tastes like the tea I had in Tokyo.

The grassy, slightly marine flavor is exactly what I want from a real Japanese sencha, and knowing it's from Shizuoka makes the taste make sense. Only issue is 20 bags go fast when I'm drinking two a day, but the convenience of teabags over loose leaf is worth it.
