Green Tea Bags @ Costco with lots of health benefit

via the hearty soul

Are you a coffee person or a tea person? I'm a coffee AND green tea person. I really can't choose one from them. I love Starbucks a lot!

I tried tons of green tea sold at American grocery stores, but of course, I couldn't find authentic one. There are many kinds of flavored green teas, but it is very Americanized ones. I haven't seen those kinds in Japan yet.

However, I finally found a real Japanese green tea at reasonable price at a familiar place.
Yes, you can get it at Costco.


Kirkland Signature Japanese Green Tea With Matcha 100 teabags.

When I found it at Costco at first, I was kind of suspicious. Usually if something Japanese is popular in the U.S., it's not so authentic. Don't get me wrong. I love California rolls, some other modified Japanese foods here as Half Japanese food;) Honestly, I really enjoy and often make it at home.

Anyway, I bought and tried it (trusted Japanese popular "ITOEN" brand), and fell in love with it!
I used to get green tea when I visited Japan every summer, but even though, some of them tasted not so good and I disappointed. Yup, it's hard to find good one at reasonable price even for Japanese.

I'm writing this blog with this green tea now. So relaxing....

There are directions on the back. But no worry about it. Just put the tea bag and pour hot water in a cup!

I have known green tea has lots of health benefit. But I only knew a few, because I just love to drink it, and it is obvious that green tea is a lot healthier than sugary beverages.

So I checked out Green tea's health benefits in Japanese and hope you will reassure it with me.
