Excellent sencha! This tastes exactly like the tea I had while living in Japan. Pleasantly grassy, smoothly savory with a light sweetness. Goes great with food too. Simply great tea. Highly recommended!
Each bag has quite a lot of tea in it, so I definitely recommend both a relatively short steep time and repeated infusions. And, of course, you'll want to use the typically lower temperature ideal for green teas to prevent scalding.

I have been drinking this tea for the last few months and it is the best tea I ever drank! I feel more energized and I its satisfying. Finally I found an organic tea that I can taste the green tea leaves. I highly recommend trying the bare tea brand. Also try the apple green tea and massala chai!

I agree with Alex, I thought this was one of the better bagged Senchas I've had so far. I really enjoyed the fresh grassy smell and the spinachy taste. I brewed it for a short time, so its taste wasn't too overpowering.

Definitely among the best senchas (if not the best) that I've ever had from a tea bag!
Flavor is mild and a little brothy. Aroma is slightly toasty, slightly seaweedy.
Easily brews two infusions...the first two cups are outstanding for a tea bag, although they have less of that pleasant sweet grass quality that some of the better loose-leaf senchas have. I steeped 2 minutes and then 3. The third cup is bold and flavorful, but its aroma is milder...I found I wasn't able to get the third steep to turn out to sastisfaction because it became bitter before its aroma was strong enough to satisfy me.
I experimented a bit with brewing temperature and found that this tea wasn't terribly picky; I like brewing it around 170-180F.
I had initially commented that this company was much pricier than other brands of high-end tea sachets, like Two Leaves Tea and Mighty Leaf. I see though that they've lowered their price and are now in a similar price range to these brands, perhaps a notch higher, but I think the quality is much higher and worth the premium.
