Teas' Tea Unsweetened Pure Green Tea, Organic, Sugar Free, 0 Calories, 16.9 Ounce (Pack of 12)

Ito En produces the best unsweetened teas available in North America. The pricepoint for a case of 12 of these beautifully, delicate imported teas, around $1.50 a bottle, is unfathomable. Not to mention, they are organic, healthy, and tasty!

This is my favorite beverage for a summer afternoon. It's refreshing and doesn't contain too much caffeine. I can't always find this in supermarkets, and if I do find it there it's overpriced.

The building I work in has a cafe on the ground floor and they started selling this brand of bottled tea a few months ago. I prefer Stevia as a sweetener but since the majority of bottled drinks, including teas, include sugar, honey, aspartame, or some other sweetener (and oddly enough, miscellaneous other additives and those mysterious "natural" flavors which shall not be named...), I've been stuck buying the diet drinks with Splenda or making tea myself and being incredibly lazy, of course I buy the drinks. So, when I came across this tea and looked at the ingredients I thought cool. No additional stuff. Just water, tea, and 100% RDA of vitamin C. (okay one additional ingredient but I can live with that). Of course it's got those healthy antioxidants that everyone is so excited about but more importantly to me it gives me at least 20% of my own personal RDA of caffeine which is why I drink the stuff in the first place. I was buying about 10 bottles a week from the cafe at $2.50 a bottle (yes, welcome to Los Angeles) and it finally occurred to me to check online to see if I could find it cheaper and, lo and behold, the clouds parted and a shining beacon of light appeared and a voice said go forth to .... no wait, that's another story. umm.. where was I... oh yeah... so I checked Amazon first (naturally) and found these nifty little 12 bottle cartons which comes out to be about $1.83 / bottle with Prime shipping (66 cents a bottle cheaper than what I was paying downstairs and as a plus I avoid crowded elevators). I bought 3 boxes (1 Mint Green, 1 Pure Green, and 1 Jasmine Green) and had it shipped (for free) to my office. By my calculations I've saved about $26 this month. The tea is still a bit pricey, but I think it's cheaper than me buying 3 different types of loose tea, making 5 gallons of tea, and pouring it into all those little bottles. Plus I'm saving on the incidental costs for burn ointment, bandages, any possible ER trip for burns from the boiling water, etc. Just to be a good comparison shopper I checked on Teas' Tea site and found that they sell these in boxes of 24 for $36.00 which comes out to $1.50 a bottle which I think is probably closer to what it should cost. However, the shipping to my zip code is $11.25 for UPS Ground. That adds 48 cents a bottle to the cost which would makes the per bottle cost go up to $1.98. So, with Prime, Amazon is cheaper. (I always knew that my $12,000 business degree would come in handy some day). I usually have a bottle sitting on my desk at work and people come by and ask me when are you going to get that report done, and didn't you promise you'd finish that review yesterday, and why is it that you never answer my emails, and didn't you know that I'm important and my project is more important than their project??!!? Ah well, some things never change so at least I'm getting my RDA of Vitamin C and plenty of antioxidants to manage the stress.... and, really, the tea is good to.

I love the product unfortunately it doesn’t love my pocketbook. I bought this for around $16 and some change a couple of months ago now they were almost $30 for the same product. this is 100% increase in price. I’m not going to pay for their greed things are so hard for everybody and this is one of the reasons product great corporate greed two thumbs down

Awesome taste, no jitters seeing it’s not decaf. A little pricey but cannot find unsweetened green tea in stores.

This product was $16.87/cs last month. Today it is $46.26/cs. I have been purchasing this product for years at below $18.00/cs. This has to be a pricing mistake and until corrected I’ll be purchasing my green tea from other sources. Good product but not at that price.

These do not last long in my house. It’s really difficult to find unsweetened bottled green tea like this locally. These are not full of preservatives, instead they use vitamin C, which I think is a great option. They’re really tasty, convenient, fit in my oddly small suv cup holders really well, great size (almost 16 oz), easy to hold. Some of the younger people in my home like to people add a little sweetener, which I can make sure isn’t too much, and then just shake the bottle. Sometimes we like to add sugar free cocktail drink mixes to these, like blueberry, passion fruit, mojito mint, etc. The possibilities are kind of endless. I like putting fresh mint in mine. My teen puts frozen blueberries and fresh cut frozen strawberries in his. Works as a sweetener, flavoring, and in place of ice, added right into the bottle. These are a good price. The con: not a recyclable bottle in my state of MA. So we try to reuse some of our bottles. The label comes off so nicely. I put anything from homemade mocktail mixes in the kitchen, to thumb-tacks in the office closet. We also like cutting them up and using them as little planters. I even put 6 together to make an art caddy. So in the recycling options, we’ve tried to get creative with it.

The tea doesn't taste bad but has a rather unpleasant smell. Smells like beefaroni. It sometimes taste how it smells. Not sure why it smells that way.
