This organic Japanese Black Tea/Wakōcha is wonderful to drink, as always! It's a nice tea to have in the morning to start the day off, and it's a good one to have as a good pick-me-up to get me going right before I get to do something busy. It also makes for a refreshing afternoon tea, as well.
The aroma of the Wakōcha is quite inviting, a nice smell to start off, with a just as inviting dark-reddish like brew, all of which signals tea time. The flavor is very lovely! It's of a smooth profile, and it left a fascinating aftertaste that had a fruit-like note to it. One of the others in my family even thought the taste of the Wakōcha reminded her a bit of the Earl Grey Black Tea, which was an interesting thing to note.
All-in-all, a wonderful experience, as always! I have to thank the fellows at Ocha and co. for getting me introduced into the world of Japanese Black Tea/Wakōcha in the way it happened. I know it's not talked about as much as the other kinds of Black Tea out there, kinda like an underrated gem of sorts, one can perhaps say, so if it wasn't for them, I might have not have thought too much about it. I'd love to come back again to get to try some more of it in the future!
Hands down best matcha I’ve tried. Love a strong cup
I found this matcha to replace my everyday caffeine. This matcha is great if you love an unsweetened matcha powder. I’ve turned a lot of friends onto matcha with this powder.
My very first time trying Hojicha and this got me addicted!
i make matcha with this everyday! thanks for being so affordable
We have been looking for a hojicha to rotate with our matchas. This is rlchocolatey and nutty and just great flavor. I drink it hot with oat milk and sometimes a bit of manauka honey! I love my mornings even more! Thank you for the quality and the reasonable price!
I was constipated recently and decided to try this mutcha. It worked very well and has allowed me to be more regular. One of the few things i have bought that exceeded my expectations in a good way.
Suprisingly good, used to buy ceremonial grade but this is my new go to
This matcha is definitely high quality and way better than any other matcha I’ve tried! As soon as I opened the package it smelled so floral and had a bright green color!
This is my new favorite part of the day. Morning Matcha💚. It taste great and making it is like a daily ritual. I look forward to it.
Love the matcha - cold or hot. It’s great quality
It was 20$ when I got it now is 25$ is still worth it to drink matcha is bit nutty and umami , aroma flavor
Review: Ocha & Co. Matcha
I recently bought matcha from Ocha & Co., and I absolutely love it. The quality is exceptional — vibrant green color, fine texture, and a smooth, rich flavor with that perfect balance of umami and gentle bitterness. You can really tell it’s fresh and authentic, and it froths beautifully when whisked. It’s become part of my daily routine, whether I’m making a traditional matcha or a creamy latte. I also appreciate their packaging — simple, resealable, and keeps the matcha fresh. Highly recommend for anyone who loves high-quality Japanese matcha!
I never knew Matcha could taste so good. I make my own Iced Lavender Cream Matcha... like Starbucks, but better! I drink one every day. Now, after my morning Organic Japanese Fukamushi Sencha Green Tea, my entire day is spent anticipating my Lavender-Cream Matcha afternoon ritual.
I’m very impressed with the taste and the quality!
My family and I love this matcha. It's rich in color and taste. Smooth, not bitter, and lovely aromatics. I've had my fair share of matcha over the years and this is in the tops. The packaging is mindful, and I appreciate the quick shipping. Will be back for many more orders via subscription.
i love this matcha, its very round and sweet palette is perfect for daily lattes
I received this matcha as a birthday gift a few years ago, and I’ve continued to order it for myself since. I love the flavor - grassy, slightly bitter and umami but still smooth. I drink it straight. Occasionally, I add milk, but honestly I prefer it on its own so I can truly appreciate the flavor notes. Preparing and drinking this tea is an experience in itself. Thank you Ocha!
My daughter told me about your tea and that it was important to drink high quality matcha could not believe the difference compared to a cheaper brand I had tried. I am sold and will always be ordering your tea. It is amazing. Thank you.
Great flavor especially for the price. Very drinkable and a nice smooth sencha buzz. Wish it was not so expensive to ship this, or that I could get it locally. I would subscribe to the monthly delivery but don't want to pay 6.50 per bag to ship. That's the only thing that will prevent me from ordering as often.
As someone who's only started really getting into the habit of drinking Green Tea (as well as other types of teas out there) daily in the middle of last year, I've been curious about getting to try Fukamushi Sencha, and, sure enough, I got to try it.
The flavor was very rich and, if sometimes, a bit somewhat on the strong side, I'd say, to where it was quite an enjoyable Green Tea to drink! The intense green color of the brewed Fukamushi Sencha liquid itself was a sight to see in my teacup. The leaves themselves gave off a nice aroma each time I go to prepare the Fukamushi Sencha.
I would also note that, due to the very small leaves of the Fukamushi Sencha as a result of the steaming process involved with it, depending on what kind of teapot/kyusu you use, cleaning your teapot/kyusu might take a bit more of a determined effort than usual, in-terms of using only warm water to rinse out your teapot/kyusu (In the case of unglazed clay teapot/kyusu, don't use soap, since the interior of the unglazed clay teapot/kyusu may very well absorb the soapy water, and can negatively impact any future brews in that said unglazed clay teapot/kyusu), so that's something to keep in-mind, depending on what kind of teapot/kyusu you use.
That being said, it doesn't take away from the fact, that the Fukamushi Sencha was a very delicious Green Tea to drink, so don't let the probable extra effort in rinsing out your teapot/kyusu after you're done brewing the Fukamushi Sencha turn you off. It's totally worth trying, for sure!
All-in-all, a wonderful experience! I'm very pleased to have chosen the fellows at Ocha and co. in getting to try Fukamushi Sencha for the very first time! I'd love to come back to try some more of it again sometime in the future!
I really love this matcha! The color is beautiful, the taste is lovely.
This tea is so easy to make - just add cold water and a few minutes later, I have a cold brew that is refreshingly delicious and beautiful to look at. It's my new daily ritual!
