Davidson'sTea Bulk, Sencha, 16-Ounce Bag

I've had many different green teas, and each one has a little bit different flavor profile. Recently, I enjoyed an amazing loose leaf green tea at a sushi restaurant and was told "sencha" which I don't really know what that is, but I found this loose leaf sencha tea.It's not quite the same as what I had at the restaurant, but wow, it's really great! The leaves smell wonderful out of the packet, and I learned quickly after the first pot that the leaves really expand as they steep. You really don't need much to make a nice pot of tea. I prefer it steeped a bit longer than recommended, and it didn't go bitter. It's nice enough to drink unsweetened, though I added some fresh honey and it was perfect.The size of the bag is large enough to last me a long time. I don't know what the shelf life will be, but the bag itself has a really nice built-in zip closure. It feels very air-tight, and the bag is opaque/foil lined so I think it will keep the leaves fresh for a very long time. The printed "Best By" date is 2 years which is more than enough time to use it all up.

I’ve had some Davidson’s teas which are terrible, but this one is fantastic if you like genmaicha. I also like their detox herbal tea. For first brew I wet the leaves with cold water then use 180 degree filtered water and it’s ready to drink in 1 minute. I do a second brew of the leaves at 180 and let it sit longer, like 10 minutes. The last brew I do at 212 to get all the goodness out. I don’t mind some bitterness in my first brew of green tea so I don’t exactly do a rinse first, but you may want to.If you add some fenugreek seeds it makes a great appetite suppressant tea with a nice mild flavor. I prefer genmaicha over straight green tea.

I love love love Davidson’s. I’ve had their Imperial Green, Gunpowder Green, and Dragonwell. All of them were absolutely delicious and, in my opinion, very high quality for the price. I love coffee but these green teas have had me choosing green tea over coffee every afternoon for the past few months! I’ve mostly been enjoying them iced since it’s warm now, but they are divine when enjoyed hot as well.

I have bought several flavors of black and green teas of this brand. It is very good quality tea and not expensive for the amount you get. The leaves are aromatic. I like the stronger teas. The imperial green and jasmine rose are my favorites. I enjoy them hot and cold.

Background: As a tea drinker, I have tried a wide variety of both black and green teas with fruit infusions or fruit flavors. Generally, you have two results: (a) either the flavors clash with each other in some way, or (b) the flavors don't quite work together and you have a somewhat "muddy" taste resultPositives: Davidson's Organics deserves much credit for working out a formula of ingredients that work quite well with a green tea. Green teas are milder in flavor, and so it's easy to overpower the flavor of the green tea, or to clash with it. Davidson's Tropical Green Tea succeeds in balancing the other ingredients in this mix with the green tea, which makes a fragrant and very pleasing taste for this this.Highly recommend.

This green tea is very aromatic. It came in a aroma safe package. We will start every day with some cups of this wonderful tea.

Very delicious and a huge bag for the price!

This is very good! I enjoy the tropical flavor. I drink it hot or cold.

I love this tea and will definitely be ordering more. It has a delicate flavour that I really enjoy.It took a few tries of different steeping times and the amount of tea in the tea ball before I found the taste I love.So my suggestion is if you don't enjoy it the first time, make adjustments and try again.

I just received my Jasmin Pearls tea. I am over the moon to say the least. it's fresh and perfect. Jasmine Pearls (like all good tea) deserves careful attention when brewing. It requires 185 degree water, should be rinsed first (add water and then discard water) then brewed very briefly so that it is not bitter. Brewing good tea is an art.

I cut out coffee and did some research re tea; contains L-Theanine, which helps take away the jitters from caffeine. Green tea has countless health benefits additionally, especially if you're into fasting. I was sick of the grocery store crap, so I upped my game and gave this a go.I surely noticed how much more fresh this stuff is compared to your run of the mill bagged teas.Found myself wanting to go to bed early so I could wake up earlier to enjoy a cupa this sooner... so nice. The lemon flavour compliments the green tea well, and I am sure the ginseng is adding even further health benefits.Between the taste, the health benefits, the quality, and the price at this volume, I have not regrets. Highly recommended.The only "nitpick" I have, is that it would be nice to have some idea of how much caffeine is in this (mg per 8oz brewed)-- but no biggie, once again, green tea contains things that curtail the ill effects of caffeine, so I guess that number would be misleading for most people anyhow.

Love this tea! Awesome taste and great value!

Absolutely love this tea. Wonderful aroma and flavour. I’ve been looking for a good organic loose leaf Jasmine tea in a largeer quantity that doesn’t break the bank. Looks like I’ve found it. Have ordered a couple of other Davidson’s teas and am very happy.
