5.0 out of 5 stars I drink loose green tea alot (mch better than tea bags in my opinion) but unfortunately I ...

As much as I like it I did want to try something else so off to the internet I went. I was a bit surprised by how many types of green teas there are so what was supposed to be a quick buy turned into a full on research project about green tea, companies and customer reviews (making me into somewhat of an amateur expert lol) and came to a final decision - that being I would like to try Sencha tea and that Ocha and Co seemed a good bet to buy from as it is a large company, the positive customer reviews and the pictures of the tea itself.I wasn't disappointed.Unlike Gunpower which is pan fired giving it a smokey type flavour and yellowish tinge this is steamed so you get more of that subtle green tea flavour. It is light and refreshing and has a lovely green colour. Sure it is more expensive but I think it is worth it as a treat on the weekend.The only negative thing I can say is that it took around 3 weeks to arrive hah. I think it may of actually been sent from japan lol.The way I prepare my green tea is with a beaten up old metal tea pot that has a spout cover with holes in it. It holds around 300ml. I put one teaspoon of green tea in the teapot then I add a splash of cold water to the tea leaves (like the amount you would add milk to ordinary tea) then pour in the boiling water. This usually gets the temperature just right (remember it's better it being cooler than too hot and having bitter tea). This is then poured down the drain straight away. It may be seem a waste but this washes dust etc off the leaves. It also helps get rid of chemicals off non organic teas. Apparently it is also supposed to 'wake up' the leaves for seeping. Then just fill up the teapot the same way again and leave for 30-40 secs and then drink as you go. I usually get a good whole mug and some more of green tea. More water can be added to the teapot after if wanted. I get a few bits come through but generally the leaves expand and don't come through plus adding to filter out the rest. Any that does will settle. The picture of the mug has bits in it though this was because I was playing around with the wet leaves deciding how to show you.Anyway....back to the review....5 starsUpdate.It does come straight from japan. And other times I have bought it it has come within the week.
5.0 out of 5 stars The best
Quality and the best tea - highly recommend
5.0 out of 5 stars Great taste
I like the taste of this tea
5.0 out of 5 stars Most excellent tea
This is a really good tea, fresh and clean tasting. It has a distinctive smell to it, quite strong in the packet - a bit fruity perhaps? (I don't know the tea jargon!). After steeping, the leaves have a firm, springy texture to them, which I think might mean it's fresher than others I've tried, or perhaps younger/smaller leaf tips? (I eat the leaves after drinking the tea, so have noticed the difference). I'm not a tea connoisseur, so find it hard to explain, but this tea does stand out as different from the many other brands I've tried. Happy to find an organic tea at a decent price. The packaging is neat and stylish, easily resealed with a clip to keep the air out for freshness. I'll definitely try the others from the same range another time.
4.0 out of 5 stars Goes a long way
Really strong green tea so it goes a long way not really to my taste hence 4 star rating
5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious green tea
This tea is best sencha that I had, but expensive.
5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible quality
Incredible quality
1.0 out of 5 stars Smells like sewage
Have you ever scraped the green mulch from under the hover mower well this has the same damp texture and resembles grass cuttings the stench from it steeping in hot water smells like a blocked drain at this point that is exactly where I poured it ,I wonder was it human poo what they feed this green stuff .
Delicious, nutty, warm, toasty!

I've always loved Genmaicha, and the toasty notes are obviously the best part. I've tried other loose leaf Genmaichas, but I keep coming back to Ocha & Co for the balance of tea leaves and toasted rice. I find little to no bitterness when I drink it.I brew a pot of water to 170F (~76C), steep 4 grams of tea in 16 oz of water for 45 seconds. If I want something stronger, I'll brew it for 55 seconds. I just love this tea so much!!!Note that I use Ocha and Co's official website to get one bag a month, but sometimes I run out or want more and buy via Bolo if I need it quickly or before a trip.
excellent quality, great packaging, fast delivery

Excellent Quality And Taste!
Received fresh in its vacuum sealed non resealable pouch. I had to transfer the contents to a tea canister.I've had green teas before, but not sencha. Very satisfied with the taste and quality of this tea. No bitterness and very little astringency after brewing 3 tsp in 16oz for 90secs at 175°F.Best green tea I've had so far!
