[EN] This is my favourite green tea of all time.

[EN] The l-theanine content is high and the caffeine is low. I'm mostly a gyokuro drinker, but this is the stems of gyokuro. Great stuff.

[EN] I'm not a tea connoisseur but what I can say is that this is my favourite green tea, hands down. It's beaten my old favourite - gyokuro gokou. It is not bitter, tastes smooth and I normally drink it by wanging 3 teaspoons in a 1L teapot with 1 teaspoon of whisked matcha powder. Boom, delish!

[EN] Good beginner tea (but may quickly become an old favorite). Some flexibility with brewing (leaving in 30 seconds too long does not spoil the tea.). I brew with 1 heaping TBSP and 10 oz water. Good for at least three infusions although the last is weak. Brew time about 2min 20 seconds for me.
Nice delicate flavor--not astringent, a little pleasant-seaweed, little sweetness. Just a nice tea flavor. No flavor extremes here. No fuss.
[EN] This tea is my favorite and daily - 2 steeps from 1 Tbsp + 300 g water. The umami flavor is very pronounced. It's flavor compares to premium gyokuro.

[EN] Very light, somewhat sweetly vegetal, umami, with a hint of nuttyness and very low astringency.
A very interesting green tea. It's quite a bit different than standard green teas made from leaves, yet still very familiar. I recommend trying kukicha to see if you like it!

[EN] One of my favorites!
[EN] One of my everyday teas. It's light but flavoursome but not too strong. I can't work out whether it is more grassy or hay like personally. However I always use as a part of mix. It has a lovely colour too. Greatly recommend it.
[EN] I love this tea. It's the first kukicha I've enjoyed, as the others I'd tried were bitter and grassy. This one is amazing! It's rich yet light, sweet yet earthy, and is versatile and unfussy to brew. The color is a beautiful pale green. I've ordered 2 rounds of 1.76 oz, and am going to 3.52 oz this time as I am running out too fast.

[EN] One of my favorite umami flavored green teas. A distinct lack of green coloring when seeped, and thankfully lacked in grassy flavor. A bit of a weak flavor, though the longer the seep the stronger the flavor.

[EN] Light, sweet, and grassy. With not a lot of caffeine, this is a delicious tea to relax with in the evening.
[EN] Delicious! Very fresh, not at all bitter.

[EN] My first foray in to Japanese teas and it's a beauty. Smells like I've just mown the lawn but tastes light and sweet.
[EN] Can't get enough of this tea. Doesn't have a super complex and rich taste like some teas. It's nice, light and grassy.
Not loaded with caffeine but the theanine levels in this tea means it keeps you nice and alert, perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up
[EN] This tea is fantastic. It DOES have caffeine, plus it has a high level of theonine, an amino acid that promotes relaxation. With this tea, I get a relaxed energetic state that I don't get from any other beverage that I know of.

[EN] A nice "every day" tea. It looks great if you have a glass tea cup, and it tastes nice as well. I can't really point out what its flavour reminds me of, but it is nice and light.
