This extraordinary grade of Matcha Gen-mai Cha is seldom seen outside of Japan. The components are of exceptional quality, and produce a harmonious, well-balanced infusion, which is eminently smooth. Toasted rice add a soothing, mellow quality to the complex vegetal flavor.

It's perfect. Beautiful, brothy, never bitter (I brew 2-1/2 minutes at 160 degrees). It's a gentle wake-up in the morning, good on the road, sustaining as the afternoon progresses. Delicious at any temperature. Really special. Can't say enough good things about this tea... give it a try!
Outstanding

This Matcha Gen-mai Cha is truly one of the best that I've tried. It may be worthwhile to know that I prefer bolder, more robust flavor, and this tea has that and more. Straw, earthy, but also slightly sweet. A fantastic tea that I am enjoying even as I type.
Lovely for late morning/early afternoon

This is hands down my favorite tea and has been my choice in the afternoon for the last year or two. It has a lovely green color when steeped. The taste is a marvelous combination of nutty, toasted, and vegetal. I steep for 2 minutes at 170-175 and it is just perfect.
