This bold flavour is actually more flavorful than the regular from this company. It’s smoother and there’s no oily after taste like with the regular. I love these they are my guilty pleasure I wish they weren’t quite so expensive. It’s a real treat when I get them.

Great Taste, Bold, and non sugary option

Very goid tea. An acquired taste for sure, but once you start drinking this stuff, you'll drink it nonstop like me. Added bonus, a haiku is written on each. Bottle

I’ve been drinking this for over 15 years and I love the bold taste. I was so happy to see it on Amazon. The price was right too. But just like muvywriter mentioned, the taste is different. All the bottles I received from Amazon were made in Thailand and, honestly, they taste just like the light green version. I also have a bottle made in Taiwan that I bought elsewhere, and I did a side-by-side comparison. The issue is with the Thailand-made bottles, not the other way around. Hopefully Ito En sees both my comment and muvywriter’s and looks into this. It’s already hard enough to find a place that carries this tea, so please make it easier for us to get the authentic flavor we’ve loved for years. Thank you.

Received a 12-pack recently of the dark flavor ("Bold Taste"/濃い味, with the dark green packaging), and I can confirm that the taste is exactly what I remember from having drunk way too many of these when traveling across Japan. If you're in the States like me, you need to be aware that we in America tend to want to put sugar in everything, and you might think that the green-tea-flavored sweet tea they sell at the store is how it's supposed to taste. THAT IS NOT GREEN TEA :) So yes, I can confirm this is the good stuff, and YES it is supposed to be bitter and strong, perfect for grabbing from the fridge on the way out the door on a hot summer's morning. They do have a kick to 'em - you should be aware the dark flavor has about 104 mg of caffeine, while the standard lighter-green bottles have 60 mg according to itoen.com, so lighter might be the way to go if you want to keep caffeine low. These are made in Taiwan and they are the same bottles you might find if you are lucky enough to have local convenience stores that stock these -- a surprising number of indy convenience stores in my area carry these. They charge about $2.50 normally, so you're saving about 80 cents a bottle getting it from Amazon instead. I did purchase it straight from Amazon instead of using a third party -- make sure it says "ships from and sold by Amazon.com." Who knows how Marketplace sellers might be handling it, especially given MK's review - I did not see any of those issues, no sedimentation or anything like that, and yes, I checked every bottle because that review freaked me out. If you DO experience issues, please make sure to mention the seller; that will help the rest of us know who to avoid. I can confirm that the ones I got that were sold by Amazon were fine, and I will continue getting them. A side note, if you're ever NOT in a rush and have time to really enjoy the tea, it is totally worth it to brew your own pot of green tea. Ito En makes several loose leaf varieties as well as tea bags, and I have yet to be disappointed by any of them.
