My go to in the morning
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

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.

Delicious tea makes my morning.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

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.

Delicious, mild Japanese Uji! I’m a fan!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

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.

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

Best Green Tea Ever
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

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.

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.

A great plain green tea
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

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.

Takes me back to the tea garden
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

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.

A GREAT GREEN!!!

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!

My go to green loose leaf 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.

The best green tea
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

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.

Delicious!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

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.

This tea is really growing on me!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

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!

Best Green Tea
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

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.

A very good sencha
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

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.

My Favorite Sencha
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

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!

Wonderful everyday tea
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

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

Excellent Cold Brewed
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

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.

Love this tea

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.

Perfect Match

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.

Finally a REAL JAPANESE TEA!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

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.
