I recently purchased Shiso Loose Leaf Tea and Shiso Powder from this supplier, expecting a fresh, slightly spicy taste with a strong, pungent aroma, as is characteristic of shiso. Unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. The powder was disappointingly brownish, imparting a bitter taste reminiscent of having sand in my mouth, a far cry from the expected fresh and aromatic qualities. The loose leaf tea, while not sandy, shared the same bitter disappointment. At $30 per kg, I expected much higher quality. Upon raising my concerns about the quality with the seller, I was met with refusal for any form of compensation, leaving me with 2 kg of overpriced, poor-quality product and additional shipping costs. A truly disappointing experience.
