Ito En Tea Oi Ocha Green Tea, Unsweetened, 16.9 Ounce (Pack of 12)

This bottled green tea by Ito En has generally received positive reviews from customers. Some really appreciate the fact that it's just pure green tea with no artificial additives, while others have praised its taste, which they say is smooth and not overly sweet. A couple of customers didn't enjoy its flavor, saying it's a bit too strong and with a smoky/brothy taste that they found unpleasant. The tea contains caffeine, with the dark version having over 100mg and the regular one having 60mg per bottle. The bottled tea is different from the bagged version that contains matcha and has a higher caffeine content. The non-bold bottle is lighter in flavor than the bold one. The tea also has health benefits that are equivalent to those of hot tea. It's only available in plastic bottles. While bulk ordering is a popular choice among customers, some have been dissatisfied with the short shelf life of the product, with some boxes being stamped expiring in less than 30 days. Customers have also noted that the American version of the golden oolong flavor is made with a softer, lighter flavor profile compared to the original Itoen version, which is made for the Asian palate.
