When I first saw this product in a convenience store, I thought, "Green tea and espresso!?!? disgusting!". Out of curiosity, I bought it, expecting to have a can of green tea mixed with espresso coffee. However, upon looking at the ingredients, I found out that there was no coffee at all in this. What I found was some very nice green tea.
Description:
This product is marketed by the Suntory company which is based in Japan. On the label it says"伊右衛門"(pronounced Iyemon) which is a brand of teas by Suntory. According to Wikipedia Japan, Iyemon was the name of the founder of an old(traditional) tea company that dates back to 1790. Also on the label it says in English, ""Green ESPRESSO, A New Experience in Tea" Made to comfort, with its rich aroma and pleasant aftertaste." hmmm that sounds nice, by the way, why is espresso capitalized?? The only reason I can think of is that they wanted to emphasize that the tea is as strong as espresso...idk.
On the cap, it says, "Shake 5 times before opening"(in Japanese). They probably tell you to do this because there's some tea powder settled at the bottom of the can.
Taste:
The taste of this is that of freshly brewed green tea. I cannot believe that they we're able to recreate this taste in a compact can(that is shaped like a bottle). Phenomenal.
The aroma of this is very nice too. The one thing that's probably not good about this product is the color(non-transparent green).....but who cares? It tastes great.
