As a noob, my previous green tea experience was pretty much limited to chinese restaurant tea – sadness in a stainless-steel pot.
A friend gave me a few packets of this one day and it’s become my go-to tea for when I get desperate for a cuppa coffee. Best of all is that it’s yummy and doesn’t leave the taste of grass-clippings in your mouth.
All kidding aside, this tea is really good for those times when you need a quick energy boost and want it to taste good.
I have tried matcha previously and either it was not prepared correctly or that’s just the way it is but I didn’t like it one bit. Now this tea is a mix, so it’s not exactly the same thing, but I sort of like it. I followed the steeping instructions the first time and what I got is a smooth almost milky tasting beverage. I am trying longer steep time now and even if that makes it worse, I still find this to be an enjoyable tea. As far as bagged tea goes of course.
Picked up at Costco on whim, wasn’t expecting much; turned out to be some very good bag tea. Would highly recommend especially for the price ~$10 for 100 bags

I wasn’t expecting anything from this tea, but it completely surprised me. The best flavor I have ever gotten out of a bagged tea.
I was fairly surprised by this tea. I’m not really a matcha fan, but everyone I make this for (myself included) enjoys it. The instructions inform you to steep it for 30 seconds, which surprisingly is more than enough for my taste. I usually steep for about 20 seconds (in a small cup), add a splash of milk, and a smidge of honey for a light, smooth, and flavorful tea with a very slight matcha flavor.
I was hesitant to purchase this tea because it’s sold in such a large box (100-125 separately wrapped packets? Somewhere around there), but I know I’ll end up drinking every last one.
This remains the very best bagged green tea I have had the pleasure to experience. Amazingly available, and is never a disappointment when in need of a quick cup.
Last year my boyfriend bought a mountain-load of green tea from Costco. This tea is really easy to prepare. You need to steep the tea for 30 seconds in 176-degree water, remove the tea bag and add any sencha dust left over in the packet. It has a pleasant taste I’ve come to expect from Ito En—really cheap teas but doesn’t skimp out on flavor.

My parents, who are Costco devotees, turned me on to this one. It’s a staple for me, both at work and at home. Clean and deep taste, invigorating, and speedy to steep — just 30 seconds, then you shake in the tiny amount of matcha powder.
mm, made a great cup today. nice and smooth with plenty of flavor.
My favorite green tea that’s not loose leaf. Loose leaf green tea clearly pwns the bagged green tea. However, this little treasure-in-a-bag has helped me through many headaches, sore throats, and tummy aches. I also typically drink this about 30 minutes before working out—something about green tea speeding up your calorie-burning process.
