Pleasant morning buzz
This is a delicious tea that has a nutty flavor. I plan on always keeping a canister in my cupboard.
I am basically a loose leaf green tea lover. That said, I like a strong tea which is sometimes hard to find in a green tea. Sencha Kyoto fits the bill.
This is a lovely tea, tastes great and is my go-to green tea.
Tried Kyoto Sencha for the first time, and it’s like sipping a spring breeze—grassy, bright, and gently sweet. I’m no tea expert, but it made plain hot water suddenly feel fancy.
I didn’t read the description carefully before ordering this, so I was (pleasantly) surprised when I immediately recognized the delicious familiar flavor at the first sip. (I even exclaimed out loud, ”Uji!”) It is mild and balanced with a hint of grassy vegetation - perfect for spring and summerI would recommend it to anyone who likes their Japanese green tea to be on the milder side.
Bought as a gift for my son-in-law. He loves it! He said it tastes as good as the tea he enjoyed in Japan.
I have been lucky enough to travel to Kyoto and buy tea from street vendors in the fish market. This lovely tea tastes just as good!
I enjoy Republic Kyoto Green Full Leaf tea above other brands I have tried. The taste of this tea is fresh and balanced.
Solid Sencha!
I like the taste. It's a tea I will drink occasionally a couple times a week. Not everyday. It states it's good with savory food. I agree
If you want the true health benefits of green tea, this is the tea you need. We are citizens of The Republic of Tea because their tea is always fresh and of very high quality. I'm sipping a cup of this tea as I write this and I must say that it tastes like it was harvested just yesterday. It's okay to settle if you're settling for the best. Become a Citizen and settle for sencha from The Republic.
My husband got this for the health benefits and he loves it! Says it has a great flavor, will definitely buy more
This Sencha Kyoto has to be one of my top green teas that I've tried. Fantastic full-bodied flavor without being overwhelming. Cannot recommend it enough.
This tea is glorious. I love it. I bought a tin and was so impressed that I purchased this larger refill. This tea is by far my absolute favorite, and I like all sorts of green, white, and herbal teas.
it comes is a very timely matter n and I get notifications of the shipping status
Simple, no-nonsense green tea that is terrific for a daily cup when you aren't feeling the need for fruity or floral flavors. Packs a great, earthy green tea flavor and you can taste the difference in quality over a basic tea bag.
Tea is well packaged and delivered on time.
Great taste and value for sencha
I had a pot of Sencha tea at the Japanese tea garden in San Francisco and it was amazing - the tea and the gardens. I ordered some right after getting home. This tea does not disappoint - it is full bodied and earthy and brings me right back to the memory of the gardens.
What a great tasting tea. Recommend and will buy again.
What can I say but... this is a GREAT GREEN TEA!!! It's full of antioxidants to fight free radicals throughout the body, decreases inflammation, lowers cholesterol and gives the immune system a boost. Benefiting EVERYONE!!! Also, this particular green tea actually contains a significant amount of caffeine so it can elevate your mood and energy ... super cool! Again... benefiting everyone! Health benefits AND energy too!!! Can't beat that! Plus... it just tastes so darn good. It has a most refreshing and clean taste to it. In fact, this is one of those teas that should be (and is by me) sipped on a regular basis. You cannot go wrong with this tea as it is truly (and for many reasons) a tea for all! Sip to health, happiness and vitality with this TEArrifically tasty tea!
I like a strong cup of green tea in the morning. I also enjoy trying different green teas from the Republic of Tea. I have to say this is one of my favorites. It has a nice bold good morning wake up taste.
Rumor has it that this tea is grown in the shade in particular areas of Japan and picked by hand by virgins in flowing white robes in the full moon's light as Monks chant rhythmically and flutes play in the gentle breeze. The result is a tea that fills the soul with the Light of the Gods and the warmth of a lover. It's a great tea. But next time, please send a recording of the music they make.
Has almost a hint of sweetness to it. Tastes great. I have at least 2 cups a day of this tea. Well worth the price.
Great tea, easy purchase, A++
I wasn't sure what to expect with this tea because there were so many different tasting notes in the reviews, but I really enjoy it. It has a clean, green, sweet taste, and although the description says it pairs well with savory foods, I actually really have been enjoying it with sweet foods too.
I was a bit unsure about this tea at first — its aroma while steeping is a bit reminiscent of spinach to me. It, however, is refreshing, versatile, and drinkable. Give it a chance!
This tea us so smooth, a little goes a long way. Be careful not to over brew. Goes perfect with my breakfast, and afternoon gentle boost . Beautiful flavor one of my favorite Japateas.
There was no hint of bitterness in this tea at all, to where I can enjoy it without any sweetener or add a bit if I'm in the mood. The scent of the tea makes me think of lying in a field of delicate grass, but the taste is so comforting and pure. If I ever find a better green tea, I will be astonished because I just ordered this a month ago and am already planning on buying it again with my next order. I'm even going to ship some to my family.
I love this tea - have been getting it for several years. Excellent quality, subtle taste, just perfect!
Very earthy, light, smooth flavor. Better than others I've tried. Perfect for the first, second or third cup of the day!
A light and wonderful starter of the day
Because there are more broken leaf portions than the best Ten Ren or Japanese Sencha, the tea might not be a 5, but it does produce a good, full flavored, typical Sencha. Consistency, shipping speed, and the flexible auto ship program make Republic a step above others in overall ease and quality.
I have to confess that I'm a snob about my tea. I've tried many different Senchas, and this has become my staple and my favorite. I drink it every morning, and it is perfect. It's smooth, light, and has that perfect sencha taste, being earthy yet fresh. After buying the tin twice, I've now moved onto the bulk size, because I just can't get enough. I can also trust that I'll continue to get good quality from the republic of tea! The only tea I've stopped purchasing from them is Matcha, because I've opted up for ceremonial grade, which is a lot brighter and less muddy. Anyway, this sencha is my fave!
This tea is great! I always loved the way Sencha tea smells, and was always disappointed when I got tea bag versions at Japanese restaurants. This version is fresh and lovely. The smell is very vegetable, almost like sweet spinach. The color is a wonderful green and the taste is very refreshing with a aftertaste of guava, unripe Mango or some other tropical fruit. Also too since the tea is basically shredded a little bit goes a long way. One of my favorites from here
I've been trying cold brews of a number of different teas. This is one that is definitely better cold brewed than hot. Bright green flavor with a hint of strawberries. I was initially put off by the amount of sediment produced, but then learned that this is desired with sencha.
I fell in love with Sencha tea after having it at a sushi bar. The taste of Republic of Tea's sencha is wonderful, earthy and flavorful. I wish they would make it in a tea bag.
Sencha Kyoto tastes intriguingly deep green and, for my needs, gives exactly the right amount of brisk yet mellow caffeine. After savoring many other green teas, I've decided that this is my favorite one.
A good quality, real Japanese green tea is so rare to find outside of Japan (I should know, my mom is Japanese and I lived there for several years). But this sencha has fulfilled that void for me. Beautiful green color, vibrant and vegetal. Perfection.
