Kirkland Signature Ito En Matcha Blend, 100% Japanese Green Tea Leaves, 100 Tea Bags

This green tea doesn't even compare to Japanese matcha. Also, it's not even close to as good as other green tea available on Amazon, such as Yamamotoyama - Green Tea (Sushi Bar Style) 90 Bag Value Pack. That brand is significantly higher quality in every respect, even if the price is mostly shipping charges.

The bottom line is that if you're looking for top quality green tea, this Kirkland Ito En Matcha is not it.

The quality and taste not as good as Chinese green tea. Price is ripped off

No Doubt tea is better than several other green teas.
But the seller is selling at a very high price. You can get this item from Costo at much cheaper price. I will never buy item from this seller.

A lot of reviewers are calling this 'green tea' only, and it's not just green tea. Green tea and matcha green tea are very different teas, so the terms are not interchangeable. Matcha is generally a very expensive form of powdered tea used in tea ceremonies. This Kirkland brand is obviously not expensive, but it tastes pretty close to the really good stuff. I have had all kinds of matcha, because it is my favorite kind of tea, and I definitely recommend this tea. It's really quick to steep, less expensive, and doesn't require the whisking needed for real, high end matcha. I definitely still love the good matcha more, but this works for me as well!

I've been searching for green tea like the ones I drink in Japan and none have ever come close. Since this product is made by Ito En (largest distributor of green tea in Japan), it is pretty much exactly the same as the delicious bottled green tea in Japan. An amazing taste for such a low price :D
