Kirkland Signature Ito En Matcha Blend, 100% Japanese Green Tea Leaves, 100 Tea Bags Review
#Kirkland Signature Ito En Matcha Blend, 100% Japanese Green Tea Leaves, 100 Tea Bags Best Review# I was pleasantly surprised by how good this Japanese green tea blend is. I feel that many of the negative reviewers are not familiar with Japanese green tea. Many of the American brands such as Lipton are not Japanese green tea. It is likely a blend of Indian and Chinese leaves that make a pale to dark yellowish brew. The taste is often slightly bitter with a cleaner aftertaste.Japanese matcha tea is milled under-processed tea leaves and makes a rich dark green brew. Depending on how you brew it, it can be quite hearty and has a sweet nutty flavor.
The Kirland Signature Matcha Blend uses matcha powder along with sencha tea leaves. Sencha leaves are matured leaves and has a similar taste to common store brand green tea. The combination makes a slightly lighter, yet still rich dark green tea. The color is a transparent pea green. The taste is complex with notes of sweet grass and nuts. And it leaves a clean aftertaste.
I won't give it 5 stars because of a few issues. The tea comes in individually sealed plastic packets. If you're not careful, the matcha powder goes all over the place. I'd recommend you open it away from your face over a sink. Also the sencha tea leaves are not very good quality as they have a lot of stems and non-leaf parts in it. The teabags do have a notched paper handle that wedges in the rim of your cup, but it has a tendency to fall in if you're not careful. One plus though is that it does not use staples.
Overall, I feel this is an authentic green tea very similar to those served in Japanese restaurants. If you like that, then you will like this product.
My favorite green tea - Terrence F. Graham - Washington, DC
Kirkland has an excellent, balanced flavor that is hard to find in other green teas. Highly recommended.
