Green dust with no flavor -- would give zero stars if possible
These Harney Japanese sencha green tea bags produce a tea that has all the flavor of grey tap water. I've been brewing and drinking Japanese sencha tea for more than 20 years, and this has to be the worst green tea I've ever experienced. It's so flavorless that I took to using 5 tea bags per small pot -- and still wondered how the resulting brew had zero flavor. There are no leaves in the bags, only the smallest particles looking like dust. Makes you wonder if they fill these bags with the dust at the bottom of the bins where the leaves are stored. Don't be fooled by the fancy British name and look to this brand. Save yourself! Avoid these bland bags and find a real sencha tea with actual flavor!
