Product Description This Green Tea is 100% grown and processed in Japan. The Japanese method of processing tea uses steam to stop the fermentation process - unlike the Chinese method which calls for pan-frying the tea, the result is a lovely green color and a consistent flavor that, unlike other brands of green tea, is neither bitter, nor fishy cup after cup. In keeping with Japanese tradition, Kirkland Signature Green Tea is gently steamed, rolled and then dried. This minimal processing stops the oxidation and preserves the freshness, aroma, and color of the tea leaf. The nylon tea bags ensure that paper flavor does not interfere with the flavor of the tea. The tag has a slot pre-cut in it to fit on the edge of your cup so the string doesn't need to be long enough to flop over the side. Green Tea is a proven source of antioxidants, which promote eye health and aid the immune system.

I have been drinking green tea for over 20 years and I've never tasted anything like this. Do you remember the taste of "home grown" during the 70s? That's exactly what this tastes like. Pass on this one!

Definetely the highest quality green tea I have ever had, love the bags. Was surprised at how good this "Costco" tea was and have been drinking it now for a couple of years - LOVE it.
The Real DealJuly 2, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I've tried many different green teas in the States & abroad. When I lived in Philadelphia, I had many Japanese friends there who made terrific green tea--but until now I couldn't find one to rival theirs. This one does. It's tasty & flavorful, certainly not bitter--even if you steep it overlong. The bags are interesting too. My only problem is that the string is attached to the middle of each bag vs. the end--which can be annoying--easier for it to slip into the cup while brewing (esp. if you're using a microwave to heat it) & also if you use a squeezing device to get the brewed tea out of the bag itself before disposing of it. Still, this minor inconvenience hardly affects the value of this tasteful product. I'm about to purchase some more.
Best Green Tea Short of moving to AsiaJune 25, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Try this and you'll never go back to the regular old crappy tea. This tea boast the best of both worlds; with the bag being nylon and the tea is real fine chopped Japanese green tea leaves.
