Q: Are the bags made of plastic? Will it release microscopic plastic in hot water?

Ito En: “Our Matcha Green Tea tea bags are made of food grade PET filter materials (Polyethylene Terephthalate). We are also actively researching for plant-based material options and currently testing its compatibility to hopefully switch to plastic free materials in the future”. Plastic in Tea Bags and How You Can Avoid It Last updated on April 17, 2021 By Green Child Magazine 12 Comments You’d probably be surprised to learn that most tea bags contain up to 25% plastic. In fact, we didn’t know about plastic in tea bags until we watched a viral BBC video about tea production in 2017. This post was originally published in June 2018 and updated April 2021. Canadian researchers published a study in the American Chemical Society’s Journal of Environmental Science and Technology which found that steeping a single plastic tea bag at brewing temperature releases about 11.6 billion minuscule particles known as “microplastics” and 3.1 billion “nanoplastics” into each cup (source).

Q: Why is this nearly 300% higher than from the Costco website? Counterfeit?

I believe it’s because I can no longer find it at Costco. Can you? I also see great deals on Walker cookies at Christmas at Costco but through most of the year if you purchase the large tin, at Amazon you’ll pay at least 100% more.

Q: How much caffeine is in one teabag

Green Tea has caffeine, just a lot less than coffee. Green tea per 8 oz serving has between 25-45 mg of caffeine, versus coffee which is like 240 mg.

Q: The product name says it is a "matcha blend". how much is its matcha content? is it over 50 pct? thx.

Maybe 20% is matcha! All i know is that it is a very good green tea and delicious for any purpose. I recommend you try some before purchasing, but i like it. It is not like being in Japan or Ping Ling in Taiwan drinking tea, but it is still very good on a scale of 1-10 i give it a 7.
