I originally had this tea in Tokyo at a random restaurant by chance. I loved it so much i inquired as to what it was. Never tasted anything like it. But unfortunately, could not find it in our limited time left in the city. Couldn't stop thinking about it so I ordered it from here to the US. I have only had about 10 cups from the package I received, but I will definitely be a repeat buyer of this product. I would give it 10 stars if I could!
tried a lot of Genmaicha. This is the one that I love most. I keep ordering for years, never disappoint me. Love that I can have a taste of Japan even in America.
