Itoen Oi Ocha — Loose Leaf Green Tea with Matcha, 100 g Overview Oi Ocha is Itoen’s flagship green-tea brand — the same name you see on Japan’s best-selling bottled green tea. This is the loose-leaf version: sencha leaves blended with matcha for a deeper green color and a fuller, rounder cup. The 100 g pack brews dozens of cups. Loose leaf gives you control: a quick 30-second steep for a light everyday tea, or a longer one for a stronger, grassier profile. Explore more Japanese tea & matcha and Japanese food.

It is the same brand family and character — fresh, grassy, clean. Home-brewed loose leaf tastes livelier than bottled tea, and you can tune the strength to your liking. Why add matcha to sencha? A little matcha deepens the color of the brew, adds body and softens astringency — the cup looks and tastes fuller. It is a common premium touch in Japanese everyday teas. How much caffeine does green tea have? A cup of sencha typically has roughly a third to half the caffeine of a cup of coffee, depending on how strong you brew it. Shorter steeps and cooler water extract less caffeine. Is this the real Japanese version? Yes — we sell the Japanese domestic release bought from regular retail channels in Japan, not an export or licensed copy made elsewhere. We are based in Kobe and ship from Japan. How long does delivery take, and will there be customs fees? We dispatch from Kobe within 2–6 business days and provide tracking. Delivery time and possible import duties depend on your country; any customs fees are charged by your local authorities.
