Adam U. ★★★★★

The grassy, vegetal notes are exactly what I look for in a green tea, and this one delivers without any bitterness. I usually add a spoonful of honey to my afternoon cup, and it blends in beautifully. Works just as well hot as it does over ice, so it’s become my go-to.

Violet P. ★★★★★

I brewed a big pitcher of this for iced tea and it held its grassy, vegetal character even when chilled — no bitterness at all. A spoonful of honey turned it into my new afternoon go-to, and the smoothness really comes through in every sip.

Brian ★★★★★

The grassy flavor is so clean and smooth, it’s become my hot afternoon staple. Even a small spoonful of honey rounds it out perfectly without masking the tea’s natural vegetal notes.
