[EN] The best green tea I've ever had outside of Japan. I'm neither a particularly vain person nor a tea snob, but I really appreciate a great cup of tea. This is a cup so great that, when brewed correctly, you almost don't feel worthy of it. It's as if you somehow made a mistake in preparing it because it's that good. I have found that, for my personal taste, 75-77*C and 3ish minutes of brew time is optimal. That said, the suggested 80*C and 1.5-2*C is plenty good.
If you've been turned off green tea in the past because most coffee shops and restaurants burn the living daylights out of the leaves with 99*C water, look no further than right here right now for something to renew your faith.
[EN] I accidentally ordered 2 x 50g bags of this, just an oversight of mine when I was putting together my 1st Tealyra "sampler" order. When I received my order, and realized my mistake, I was a bit disappointed as this Match Iri Sencha was the least anticipated of the 5 different teas I ordered. It was the token green tea on the order, which also had one white tea, one oolong, one pu-er, and one rooibos. However, it turned out to be a good mistake as this tea is delicious! Of course, I would've saved money by just ordering 100g instead of 2 x 50g, but no biggie. Brewed correctly, it makes a vibrant green cup of tea that tastes less grassy than other green teas I've tried. Smooth and subtle flavour. Definitely will be a re-order for me....eventually.

[EN] Un seul mot: Sublime! Une odeur de matcha et une bonne longueur en bouche.

[EN] A gorgeous cup - the vibrant green matcha colour paired with the more 'serious' sencha taste. A perfect partner for light morning exercises or simply watching the sunrise through the steam.

[EN] I'm thoroughly enjoying this cup of Matcha Iri Sencha! It has a full Japanese Sencha green tea flavor with a rich matcha green color and a deep deep flavor! It has zero astringency, isn't bitter at all. I think this is one of my favorites.

Un très bon thé. Toutefois, peu de longueur en bouche. Thé dont le rapport qualité-prix est excellent.
