 Best Green Tea! May 9, 2008

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'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.

Kirkland Signature Green Tea Matcha Blend, 100% Japanese Tea Leaves, 100 Tea Bags by A2AWorld Green Tea
By now you have probably heard that drinking green tea has health benefits, but you may not be exactly sure how, why, or what they are. To quickly name just a few of the possible benefits, there are studies that strongly suggest that the antioxidants in Japanese sencha may reduce the risk of cancer, prevent cavities, fight the flu virus, lower high blood sugar, lower blood cholesterol, and have an antibacterial action against food born illnesses. Studies show that green tea contains antioxidants, polyphenols, theanine, as well as a wide variety of vitamins and minerals.
Did you know that a cup of green tea may provide 10-40mg of polyphenols and has antioxidant activity greater than a serving of spinach, broccoli, carrots or strawberries? Did you know that EGCG makes up about 10-50% of the total catechin content in green tea and appears to be the most powerful of the catechins - with antioxidant activity about 25-100 times more potent than vitamins C and E? This web site is dedicated to furthering your knowledge on the health benefits of green tea. You may also wish to visit the green tea forum.

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.
