Review Thermos Nissan 18-Ounce Stainless-Steel Hydration Bottle
Sometimes a product comes along that makes my enjoyment of icedt tea that much more enjoyable. It is not often. Most products for brewing or enjoying tea are nothing more than unnecessary kitchen cloggers. The Thermos Nissan 18-Ounce Stainless-Steel Hydration Bottle is the exception. I have two of these and to illustrate the usefulness let me tell you what I do with one of them every work day. In the morning around 8:00 a.m. I fill it with five or six ice cubes and iced green tea. I take it on my 30 minute commute to work and drink about half. I leave it in my car and re-visit it at 5:00 p.m. for my ride home. After all that time in my car, the ice is still there and the green tea is still cold. In addition to its ability to keep iced green tea cold for many hours, it [...]
Our Review Of The Twinnings K-Cup Green Tea
You would not normally think of a K-Cup green tea as a method to prepare iced green tea, however in a pinch, I have done so many times. Just throw a green tea K-Cup into the Keurig and in a minute you have a hot cup of green tea. Let it cool a little and pour over ice for fast iced tea. Since I keep some K-Cup green tea handy and since I have tried many, here is a review of one of my favorites. Favorite green tea K-Cups I should point out, since on the whole, I do not love green tea from a K-Cup and my list of all time favorite green teas does not have a single K-Cup on it. With that said, on to the review of the Twinnings K-Cup Green Tea for the Keurig brewer. I am going to start the review with the positives. [...]
Review Of The Kirkland Brand Green Tea Bags
Kirkland green tea will change many peoples opinion of bagged green tea. A green tea snob may tell you the ONLY way to brew green tea (and hence Iced Green Tea) is to use loose leaf tea. While I will admit that many bagged green teas are far inferior to true loose leaf tea, there are a few bagged teas that hold their own and in some cases surpass their loose leafed brethren. One such bagged tea is surprisingly one of the least expensive around. It is the green tea sold under the Kirkland brand. Kirkland is the Costco generic brand. Right about now you are probably thinking this guy is crazy, there is no way a Kirkland brand can taste as good as loose leaf brewed green tea, not at that price anyway. Well, trust me, the Kirkland green tea is great tea. Read 148 more reviews of Kirkland [...]
Review Of Yamamotoyama Iced Green Tea – Powdered Leaf Iced Green Tea
If you are like me, there are times when traveling light is important. Maybe its a hike at a local park or a business flight to New York. If you want good iced green tea to take with you and drink at your destination, that will not weigh you down along the way than Yamamotoyama Iced Green Tea might be just what your looking for. Yamamotoyama Iced Green Tea is a powdered leaf green tea that when mixed with cold water makes an authentic tasting iced green tea. Yamamotoyama Iced Tea is not like many of the commercial powdered tea mixes you find in the grocery store. First, it is made from real green tea leaves that are finely ground. It is not a tea extract or a tea flavoring only 100% Sencha green tea leaves.. Second, it is unsweetened. Third, and maybe most importantly it is probably the most [...]
Ito En Oi Ocha Dark Iced Green Tea
Earlier we reviewed the Ito En Oi Ocha iced green tea (you can read that review here). This Oi Ocha tea is the darker more robust version of the two Oi Ocha Teas by Ito En. Take a look at the picture below and you will begin to see the difference. The dark iced green tea is on the right. As you can see from the picture, the Oi Ocha Dark Iced Green Tea is in fact a darker color. And this is the the root of the difference between the regular Oi Ocha and the Dark Oi Ocha. It is darker in color and in taste. Or I should say richer in taste to be more specific. It is unsweetened green tea made from real tea leaves, water and ascorbic acid. It has a green tea grassy and earthy taste that lingers and blossoms on your tongue. There is [...]
Ito En Oi Ocha Authentic Japanese Iced Green Tea
The Original Ito En Oi Ocha Green Tea in the green bottle is Japan’s number one selling bottled iced green tea.

Read 58 more customer reviews on Amazon.com by clicking here If your experience with iced green tea to date is Lipton green tea or other brands you can find in a vending machine than this Ito En, will be an eye opening experience.

The ingredient list is: Purified Water Green Tea Asorbic Acid Pretty simple, especially compared with the list of ingredients from say Lipton Green Tea with citrus, which lists the following ingredients: Green Tea (Water, Green Tea Extract from Tea Leaves) Sugar Citric Acid [...]
