A review of Organic Green Breeze by Takaokayausa.com

Company: Takaokaya
Tea Name: Organic Green Breeze
Tea Type/Varietal: Green tea powder
Region: Japan
Steeping Vessel/Amt. Leaf: cup/ teaspoon of tea powder
Liquor Color: green
Leaf Characteristics:

1st Steeping:
Water temperature: 190 Fahrenheit
Time: 30 seconds

I am having this tea powder as morning pick me up (well if I believe it must be so); anyhow I fixed one teaspoon of the tea powder with some boiled water added in my cup and stir and stir until the tea powder’s content dissolved.

Tea did not foam; and the color is a dark green. When I take sip after sip of the tea it is astringent with a slightly smooth complexion. There is a milky dewy texture in the layering of this powder that I don’t find in some other tea powders that is salt base/ sea weed like and more perhaps for cooking with. I like them both and I am noting the difference in that this tea powder is creamy and milky with slight astringency when swallowed

I like this tea powder as well.

Company: Takaokaya
Tea Name: Organic Green Breeze
Tea Type/Varietal: green tea powder
Region: Japan
Liquor Color: soft mint green
Leaf Characteristics: This tea powder is the lightest I have seen, the small tea pouch seem to have very little of the powder, yet when I fix the tea it is just rightly so.

1st Steeping:
Water temperature: 190 Fahrenheit
Time: 30 seconds

I pour the content of the small pouch into my cup and add the boiled water slowly into my cup and then whisking the tea for a good 30 seconds; no froth just a lively green in coloring that I am looking at. The aroma is milky smoothness and when I sip of the tea there is slight astringent as I continue to drink this cup of goodness until it is all gone.

I like starting my day with the likes of this nourishing beverage.

I fixed another packet of this Organic Green Breeze just so that I could take in the milk/dewy aroma offered from handing of the packet as I open and pour its content into my cup. I like the sweetness and milky aspect that my fingers are scented with. Weird!

I stirred and stirred my tea for about 45 seconds, the powder when mixed with water does not foam; instead the tea is a light green and most feint since each packets contains very little tea powder but enough for one to enjoy a cup of powdered tea with rich nutrients for starting one’s day right.

I purchased this newly tea powder from the Miso Market in Cambridge, MA. I was looking for their Taiwan Chai (orange-cream) tea powder but I could not find this and I forgot to ask the store owner of it when I was paying for my items. Anyhow, I found these small packets of tea powder and decided to give them a try.

I take one tea packet and empty it into my tea mug and I pour in some of the boiled water into the cup. I stir and stir the tea powder’s mixture with the water until all is dissolved. Tea is a lovely green color and the aroma is of green veggies. It is more of a sweet astringent where the tannins are stronger with antioxidants perhaps.

The tea packet smell of milk and when I taste the tea it is creamy and smooth in texture with a milky quality to it. This is good; I can see that I will enjoy this tea as well. The tea’s aroma is everything to the making of a good cup of tea; it smells of milk and when drinking it keep this in mind.

Thank you Miso Market for carrying these wonderful treats.

10/7/12 – Bought today at local Asian Supermarket – The one that sell frog legs, for 2.59. I peeked inside and they are foil wrapped hermetically sealed, gonna bring a few with me on the road this week.
10/8/12 – Wow! I really like this! Tastes like matcha flavored rice crispies! Yum!

12/6/2012 I boosted this tea rating. Every time I drink it I crave sushi! Yum. I drink it in the evening. I love it – and there’s been a sale at the Midtown Manhattan Japanese store – a box for only 1.68. Wow!

SO NUTTY! SO ADDICTING! SO DERICIOUS!!!

UNFFF SO DERICIOUS! I love green tea as it is, and the nutty flavor added by the brown rice is super yummy! It’s even a little sweet in some ways, probably thanks to the matcha powder. All in all just another really unique tea in my mind, and super addicting!

I love this tea! I find it to be a pretty unique green tea, the roasted flavor is strong and smokey but not overpowering; it almost reminds me of coffee (though I do steep this tea forever). PRETTY DANG COOL.

It tastes good, not amazing. I finished the cup, I was really hoping it would taste much better than this, but I’ve had better genmaicha before.. It’s still drinkable though, I prefer loose. I’ve got to say that though.

This is a nice mellow tea that has almost a powdery mouthfeel. The color is a lovely deep green and the depth of flavor is really nice if oversteeped (which I always do with green teas. I’m sorry?). This tea is nice when you just want to relax. I take it with milk — but that’s just me. I think that the milk brings out some of the softer notes from this sencha, which is the only kind of sencha I can find in my town (in the International store, which is seriously the most fun store where I live). This tea is perfect in spring and autumn, especially when oversteeped and with milk.

Reminds me of the tea they stocked in my room at the ryokan I stayed in Kyoto – might even be the same brand! Great for all occasions and moods.

Wow… I love this tea!

I love this tea! A coworker of mine drinks it and occasionally shares a few bags. It always makes my day!
