Looks like it isn't on sale right now, but even with Subscribe and Save and the 20% off coupon the price is $15. Not bad at all, and still cheaper than local.

I love it! I didn't know Costco sold it and I usually buy it at Mitsuwa Marketplace. You can get it on Amazon, too. =D

Ito En Tea Oi Ocha Green Tea, Unsweetened, 16.9 Ounce (Pack of 12) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0017T2MWW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_C97PQ9DQYXXBQ94QNXMY

Ito En bro.

The tea in question, for reference:

https://www.amazon.com/Ito-En-Unsweetened-Antioxidants-Excellent/dp/B0017T2MWW

new here, sorry if i missed something in the faq.

does anyone know what kind of tea the standard oi ocha is? (this https://www.amazon.com/Ito-En-Unsweetened-Antioxidants-Excellent/dp/B0017T2MWW?th=1 )

it says green tea. i have a variety with a little matcha in it, but it's still mostly "green tea" (doesn't really taste like matcha at all). i can't quite find any that tastes similar in the west.

The blue part says "it's also good cold, it can also be used in your own bottle"

No mention of caffeine, but from my experience, japanese green tea (including Itoen oi-ocha) is pretty mild on caffeine.

I buy and drink the pure sencha variety which comes in large and small bottles, and it's good either hot or cold (though i usually prefer cold). And they also sell mixed sencha/matcha tea bags (rebranded at Costco too!) that are excellent warm in the winter.

These ones are "100% domestic (japanese) tea". "100 sticks" of green sencha tea with added matcha powder, 1 serving each.

These are the teas i mention above: Ito En Tea Oi Ocha Green Tea, Unsweetened, 16.9 Ounce (Pack of 12) https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0017T2MWW/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_7KKMHJW421T8K3VQWS3T

I am pretty sure these are the green ones on the table

Not that I recall. You dont need much.

By my math (see below), Ito En's Oi Ocha bottled green tea uses abt 1/2 teaspoon pure ascorbic acid per gallon.

You can get pure ascorbic acid crystals/powder at natural food stores, or: 1lb https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0013OUMVO/

8oz https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00028LX1U/

Ito En's Oi Ocha (ingredients: water, tea, ascorbic acid (vitamin c)) has 220% rda vit C per 8 oz, rda is 60mg, so 132 mg per 8oz, or about 1g per half gallon, which comes to about 1/2 teaspoon (which is 2.25g according to Now ascorbic acid label) of pure ascorbic acid per gallon (whew.) https://www.amazon.com/Ito-En-unsweetened-Green-Ounce/dp/B0017T2MWW

From Serious Eats: http://www.seriouseats.com/2015/05/best-bottled-iced-tea.html "Bottled iced tea needs some kind of acidic preservative, but it turns out different brands used different kinds. The Japanese teas all use ascorbic acid (vitamin C), while the Western ones opt for citric acid."

If you like (completely unsweetened) iced green tea, try Ito En.

That is something i wondered myself. You could always buy ito en tea bottles or ucc cans they are both really good. Teas' tea is also good, they are the american brand for ito en. Unless they were stored improperly I can guarantee they will be good and cheaper than the supermarket, they are still expensive. Congratulations by the.

I never understood people drinking Iced tea like Nestles garbage etc, there is almost no Tea in it. It's a minor portion tea extract with a ton of sugar. Might as well drink coca cola.

Make Iced tea yourself or drink something like Oi Ocha (which I drink a ton of as well, best thing to grace this earth) http://www.amazon.com/Ito-En-Beverage-Unsweetened-Bottles/dp/B0017T2MWW But yeah, since it have no sugar or sweeteners I am sure the kids would hate it.

It's not hard to look what's actually inside a Nestle iced "tea", if she cannot understand the simple facts that printed on the label then there is not much to do :) Also, how can it be ok just because there is Lemon printed, where is that lemon ? :>

You can make the same stuff easy with green tea leaves/bags, lemon and some water in the fridge. There you go, very healthy drink and tastes great (maybe not if you are addicted to sugar however)
