All Reviews of Itoen Powdered Green Tea with Matcha

I really love the fresh, mellow aroma of Japanese green tea. The best part is that it has none of the astringency commonly found in tea leaves. For convenience, I especially prefer this kind of tea bag packaging. Whenever I go to Japan, I always stop by Don Quijote or a drugstore to buy boxes of ITO EN green tea bags to bring back to Taiwan. It really is an essential tea to keep at home, and it’s perfect year-round. In the hot summer, I make cold-brew green tea for a cool, refreshing drink; in the winter, I brew a steaming cup and add a little honey, which makes it even mellower and tastier.

It’s great whether I’m enjoying a cup while relaxing at home or serving it to friends and family. This practical and delicious Japanese household staple is definitely a classic product I always haul home whenever I visit Japan.

ITO EN Green Tea is a long-established Japanese tea brand that has been developing tea leaves and tea beverages since the 1960s, earning a solid reputation over the years. I really like its refreshing, smooth taste and always keep some at home. Brewing a cup when having snacks or sweets helps cut through the richness and is very soothing. I once received an ITO EN tea canister gift set. The tea leaves inside were individually packaged in small packets, making them easy to store and brew. What was special was that the tea canisters also featured winning works from a haiku competition, adding a touch of culture and beauty to everyday life. The Japanese idea of combining tea and haiku is really interesting and makes drinking tea feel like a relaxing and elegant experience.

Itoen green tea has a natural, fresh tea aroma. It tastes smooth and mellow, without being overly sweet, and it’s even more refreshing and thirst-quenching when chilled. It pairs well with sushi, rice balls, or fried foods. It’s a popular drink worth buying when traveling in Japan, and also a great choice for staying hydrated every day.

These tea bags are super convenient. Just add water and enjoy anytime.

This one tastes great too!
