I ordered for the first time, Wonder what is the difference between raw tea and deep steamed tea, which is the type I drink normally. Because I haven't tasted it, I give four stars. Order number 110149-20130407-0693307317.

I drank for the first time the raw tea. It is completely different from the deep steamed tea in terms of taste and flavor. The freshness is undisputed, The color is a beautiful green like in the picture, its taste is much more bitter and astringent, with a subdued hint of sweetness. The fragrance of the tea is totally different from the deep steamed tea, too. Its flavor is nothing like the distinctive Yutaka Midori I am accustomed to, I am somewhat disappointed.
The tea leaves are somewhat harder and crunchier than the deep steamed tea, but still tasty.
In short, I will stick to the deep steamed type in the future! I have deducted one star after the review.
