Review of Super Green Tea - Matcha, Sencha & Orange

I received this tea bag from a trade when visiting some friends.
I was not impressed with this one. The aroma is flat and I find that the orange and sencha simply do not go well together (this is the second orange-flavored sencha I've tried and I really don't like it.) Flavor is unpleasantly sour.
I also think that the addition of extra green tea extract is a bit of a gimmick. I've never seen any evidence that such extract is actually healthful compared to drinking fresh, high-quality tea. And it certainly doesn't add much to the flavor.
There's a flat and artificial, mass-produced quality to this brew that I find makes it lag behind other green teas, both pure and flavored. I would not recommend this one. It's one that I poured out without drinking.
