This tea is excellent, very high quality tea I would say. The taste is smooth and mild with a hint of sweetness, the bright scent of yuzu really brightens your mod. If you brew in a glass cup like I always do, you can see its beautiful hue of green. I also had this iced, it steeps very well and makes a great cold brew tea. If you make this for friends, they will definitely be impressed!

If you’re looking for something refreshing and unique, this is it. The flavor is a lovely mix of citrus that dances on your taste buds, and it has a soft, lingering floral note. The yuzu taste is strong and fresh, much better than other yuzu green teas I have tried. Detinitely a good buy!
Joy Koh –
The lovely citrus flavors surprised me, as I did not expect a tea to have such bright and fresh flavors. Teas from craftsman tea are all of exceptional quality, this yuzu sencha is no less. It has a nice balance of flavors, a little grassy and floral, the citrus aroma is strong but not intense. Everything is just perfect with this yuzu green tea!

Yuzu sencha has a super beautiful to look at lovely golden green color when you brew it. the taste is a perfect combo, the green tea is smooth and very mellow, whlle the yuzu is sweet yet citrus, really wakes up your taste buds,. I drink this iced, so there is no astringency at all. I just pour drinking water into a flask, add as much leaves as I want and leave it in the fridge overnight. The next morning…. a wonderful cold brew tea to wake up your senses!

My favourite pick out of all the green teas here, mainly, yuzu is my favourite. It is like an orange but way more refined. This tea nailed all the flavors, the brew is delicate and the floral and citrus flavors come through very nicely. Recommend this to try!
