Delicious, Refreshing & Real by Mike

If you like the taste of green tea without all of the sugar and sugar substitutes that are added to most bottled teas these days, try this one. After many trips to Japan, we fell in love with bottled green tea and were disappointed when we tried to find something similar in our local stores. A friend suggested this one and we have been addicted since our first order.

This is very good Japanese Green Tea. It is unsweetened and is very refreshing served cold. It is fairly pricey.

I've always loved tea in general and prefer to drink tea over most other things. My story starts last year when I vacationed in Hawaii. I stayed at my buddies house and we made a trip to Costco. One of the items that he picked up was a case of Ito En Green Tea in a can, yes I said can. Being that it is always hot in Hawaii I was excited about trying this drink. We left the tea in his fridge over night and the next morning I opened my first can. It was surprisingly good. I would say it has a medium bodied taste that is very, very smooth. The colder it is, the better. I liked it so much, that's all I drank on my 2 week vacation. I actually drank so much, I had to keep going back to Costco to buy more. Anyway, I come back to California and the first thing I do is go to Costco hoping they have this tea. Sadly, they don't carry any non-sweetened teas in the store. It became painfully obvious how much soda, juice and sweetened drinks everyone drinks around here. Since I am a huge Amazon user, I searched and found this version of the tea in a bottle. No cans to be found on Amazon. I was worried it might not taste as good, but ordered the case anyway. To my relief, the plastic bottled version tastes just about as good as the can version. I've always preferred aluminum cans over plastic bottles, but I'll take what I can get. If the can version is a 10, then the plastic bottled version is a 9.5. I would say it has a very slight bitterness to it in the bottle. Bottom line is, this is some really good tea and it's healthy for you. If you want an alternative to sodas, I would definitely recommend this product.

The original Oi Ocha sold in Japan by K. May Li (Chicago, IL USA)

Nothing against the prior reviewer who does not believe this is the original Oi Ocha, but I must say though...as a repeat buyer both of these 16.9 oz. bottles from Amazon as well as 2 liter imports straight from Japan, the two are identical. Every now and then I feel like having the stronger Oi Ocha Koi Aji (not sold by Amazon as of the time of this review), so I'm familiar with it as well. I've uploaded three photos, comparing the packaging, as well as closeups of exactly 1.0 fl. oz. of each. (The prior reviewer's pic has ice, no listed amount, and appears to be far darker than the Koi Aji he believes it is.) Hopefully, this will help folks decide for themselves...as for me, I'll just keep on drinking my favorite beverage. On to the actual review...for informational purposes, most of the bottled "green tea" sold in the US is nothing like real green tea. It's essentially tea-flavored kool-aid, with ingredients that have no business being there. Do not expect Oi Ocha to taste anything like these beverages and you won't be disappointed. Ever-so-slightly nutty, with a hint of mellow bitterness, Oi Ocha's flavor is delicate, subtle, and amazingly refreshing. Drink it as cold as possible, and store unused portions in the refrigerator after opening. (Left out and oxidized, it turns dark and the taste goes bad. I have a theory that this is what the prior reviewer may have inadvertently done.) It doesn't have a single calorie, and contains 120% of your daily value of vitamin C per serving, but I don't drink it because it happens to be healthy...I drink it because it tastes so very, very good. Oi Ocha is the best.
