Review |
Very high quality green tea that is great on its own or with almost any food. The deep flavor is mellow, full of subtleties and without bitterness (unless one brews it too long). Aroma is rich and pleasing, almost sweet, without being overpowering. Absolutely superior to any mass-market brand I have tried from local stores. Hibiki-an is an equally excellent company to deal with. Orders are packaged with utmost care and professionalism and shipped typically within 24 hours. There is always an instructional pamphlet included on how to brew your tea(s). Their website is tidy, easy to navigate and filled with ample information to aid one in making a choice. Placing an order is hassle-free. Occasional informative emails showcase seasonal teas/snacks and current events, often providing a brief history of said products and detailing how they are made. I am exceptionally happy to have discovered Hibiki-an in early 2019. Their high-class service and superb teas easily justify the higher prices compared to a supermarket. To quote the old adage: "You get what you pay for." |
