Review by R. Chicago for Kirkland Signature Ito En Matcha Blend, 100% Japanese Green Tea Leaves, 100 Tea Bags

I never liked green tea. I always found the taste terrible and bitter when compared to black tea. And even though I have tried to acquire the taste for green tea by trying many different varieties, I have always been unsuccessful until,… I was introduced to this Japanese tea. It is truly wonderful! It is mildly slightly sweet and aromatic. The nylon tea bag and individually sealed packages are great as well. A truly great green tea!

I lived in Japan years ago. This is Japanese green tea. It might say “Kirkland” on the box, but it is really Ito En tea (which is printed on each pack), as well-known Japanese tea company. The best thing about this tea is that it does not get bitter after a long steep — unlike just about any other Japanese tea. In fact, I have left the bag in my tea holder all afternoon on occasion, and the tea still tastes great. Buy this if you want the real Japanese green tea taste.

Definetely the highest quality green tea I have ever had, love the bags. Was surprised at how good this “Costco” tea was and have been drinking it now for a couple of years – LOVE it.

I’ve tried many different green teas in the States & abroad. When I lived in Philadelphia, I had many Japanese friends there who made terrific green tea–but until now I couldn’t find one to rival theirs. This one does. It’s tasty & flavorful, certainly not bitter–even if you steep it overlong. The bags are interesting too. My only problem is that the string is attached to the middle of each bag vs. the end–which can be annoying–easier for it to slip into the cup while brewing (esp. if you’re using a microwave to heat it) & also if you use a squeezing device to get the brewed tea out of the bag itself before disposing of it. Still, this minor inconvenience hardly affects the value of this tasteful product. I’m about to purchase some more.

If you’ve turned your up nose at store brands before, don’t do it for this one. Despite its humble Costco labeling, this is a very good and tasty Japanese green tea. That’s because it is made by Ito En, Japan’s leading tea distributor and one of the country’s largest beverage manufacturers. I was surprised to hear of staff members at the Japanese Embassy in DC drinking this tea. It comes highly recommended from a Japanese friend working there.
Made from 100% Japan-grown tea, this product also contains “matcha”, a finely powdered high grade green tea. It’s responsible for the lively green color. The pyramidal nylon bag lets water pass through better, so you get more flavor out of each serving than with traditional flat tea bags.
Brewing temperatures for different kinds of tea vary, but to make green tea, the water should be between 70-80°C, not boiling. With half the caffeine, green tea is better for you than black tea because of the higher concentration of water-soluble antioxidants (cathechins and flavinoids) and vitamin C, which are destroyed by the roasting process. One cup will give you 100%+ of your daily USRDA requirement. Green tea is also great chilled or over ice.

I’ve been trying a lot of green teas, from cheap bulk boxes of Chinese varieties you find at Asian markets to grocery store brands to a few, more expensive ones found on Amazon. For a truly good green tea, with fresh grassy flavors, go with the Japanese varieties. From what I’ve read, the Japanese varieties have less fluoride in them as well. This one is quite nice, and I would order it again. But I will be trying others as well.

I’m not a tea expert, but this tea consistently tastes better than other green teas I’ve tried like Yamamotoyama brand (except the Special Occasion variety, which is a blend and tastes amazing). Some teas taste good or bad depending on how hot the water is and how long you steep the tea bag, and Yamama Masudaen tastes best regardless.

I was purchasing Sencha Green Tea from another distributor I found on Amazon. They informed me it was unavailable after buying it for 2 years. I had to find someone else. I searched through Amazon and came across this tea. It is superior in quality and taste. Arriving in a reasonable amount of time. I hope they don’t tell me it is unavailable any time soon.
