Japanese Green teas come at a price - and rightly so. This Sencha has the expected discreet aroma, a fine "structure" (well, if you want him mortars) and the typical yellow-green color - which of course depends on the dosage. The packaging is plastic arm and resealable. Tea Makers require the same amount in GBP in her shop. I can think of nothing that could be a 5-star rating seem excessive. Such formulations come to mind, however, only if you have been drinking this tea ;-)
