Green Tea (Ato-bi process) from ITO EN
Style: Green Tea – Region: Japan79 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
May. 23rd, 2018
This was quite a discovery. I purchased this at a Chinese market in Edison, NJ. I was surprised to see a Japanese tea for sale, but I grabbed it because I saw D. Gray had reviewed it and was eager to try it. I wasn't disappointed!
The dry leaf is a rich, yellow-green color, and pleasantly aromatic, smelling sweet an...
Sencha Scent of Mountains from Harney and Sons
Style: Sencha – Region: Shizuoka, Japan75 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
May. 14th, 2018
Sencha Scent of Mountains is a very aptly named tea. It has the most wonderful aroma of any tea I've ever had (beyond Lapsang Souchong) and it truly is an amazing sencha.
The scent can be described as vaguely forest-y with the rich buttery background of a proper sencha. It's quite difficult to describe, but it is tr...
Guizhou Twist from Adagio Teas
Style: Green Tea – Region: Guizhou, China80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
May. 6th, 2018
This is an unusually fruity green tea. The dry leaves have a strong floral and stone fruit aroma. The first time I tried it I used too much tea and brewed it for too long, and the result was overly sweet and astringent. The second time I used a little less tea and brewed it for around 1:40, resulting in a more complex ...

Gunpowder from Adagio Teas
Style: Gunpowder Green Tea – Region: Zhejiang, China70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 5th, 2018
Gunpowder isn’t my favorite tea, so my rating may not be entirely fair. That said, I like this tea. It’s smoky and a little vegetal. Full-bodied and smooth. I wouldn’t drink it every day, but it’s a nice change of pace. If you like strong and smoky green teas, you might like it better.
I can’t compare...
Organic Green Tea from Revolution Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: Blend82 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 1st, 2018
Sometimes the best teas are accidental discoveries. Aiming to gulp down some omelets at an IHOP, I saw green tea on the drink menu (uncommon for a chain!) and ordered some. To my surprise, it wasn't one of the mass-produced bagged big brands or food-service teas, but this, in a pyramid sachet, with reasonably large l...

China Special Snow Dragon Green Tea from Simpson & Vail
Style: Green Tea – Region: Fuding, Fujian, China76 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 14th, 2018
A pleasant green tea with a smooth, mild flavor that tasted a lot better when brewed more strongly. Easy to drink and I'd imagine this would appeal to a broad audience, with perhaps an exception for people who think green tea is bland or weak, because this was on the milder side.
Thank you to Simpson & Vail for the ...
Bancha First Grade Organic from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Bancha – Region: Japan65 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Apr. 13th, 2018
I have purchased this a number of times, and the quality varies from year to year. This 2018 batch is not the best, but it is still a pleasant green tea, with a light vegetal flavor. The price has steadily increased over the years.

Mar. 30th, 2018
The flavor is lightly smoky and mossy, with some tannins. Good.

Hojicha from Harney and Sons
Style: Hojicha – Region: Kyoto, Japan89 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 26th, 2018
An excellent roasted twig tea, crisp flavor and complex aroma! Probably my favorite roasted twig tea (i.e. not roasted leaf tea) that I have ever had.
I tend to always like hojicha, but this was one of the more interesting batches I've tried in a while.
This one is a roasted kukicha (twig tea) and the roast look...
Premium Grade Dragon Well Green Tea (Long Jing) from TeaVivre
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: Zhejiang, China81 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 13th, 2018
Firstly, I made this tea at 185(90 Celsius) degrees for about 3 minutes. The first steeping was very nutty and I loved the taste very much, it had a lettuce taste which I would normally dislike but in this tea it worked. later steepings were lighter in taste and less nutty. I got 3 steepings using 1.5 teaspoons of tea,...

Jsd Assam Summer Organic Artisanal Green Tea from TEAORB
Style: Assam Green – Region: Udalguri, Assam, India49 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 1/5
Feb. 12th, 2018
Another summer Assam green that I was not a fan of and found difficult to appreciate. Thank you TEAORB for the sample!
Dry leaf has a strong aroma of wood resin, like pine, and lightly smoky, almost a little rubbery. The leaf smell is a bit harsh in the way raw Pu-erh that has not been aged can be, and I'm not sur...
Organic Hangzhou Tian Mu Qing Ding Green Tea from TeaVivre
Style: Green Tea – Region: Zhejiang, China82 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 11th, 2018
Firstly, this tea is obviously VERY high quality and I could tell that right when I opened up the sample. The aroma of the dry leaf was fairly vegetal(spinach/kale) which is not what I am looking for in a tea, but the taste was much less so, especially when brewing for 2 mins instead of the 3-5 which is recommended. Wh...

Organic Gunpowder Green Tea (Zhu Cha) from TeaVivre
Style: Gunpowder Green Tea – Region: Fuding, Fujian, China85 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 9th, 2018
The first time I ever tried gunpowder tea, I hated it. So, I came to this tea very skeptical. I also don't like smoky flavors, so that was another potential issue. But, even with all of that working against it, I ended up loving this tea. It has a spicy note like black pepper, there's a moderately rich, buttery quality...

Gyokuro Imperial Green Tea from Teavana
Style: Gyokuro – Region: Japan80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 4th, 2018
Very vegetal, high caffeine/theanine concentration, good to wake-up or get focused and concentrate. One of my favorite!

Organic Lung Ching (ZG60) from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: Zhejiang, China60 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jan. 31st, 2018
Not my favorite dragonwell, but a decent example of the style. Attractive leaves are nice and flat. Nuttier, rather than toastier flavor and aroma, and fairly sweet. Smooth mouthfeel. That said, when it’s time to reorder, I’ll try one of Upton’s other teas of this style instead.
It strikes me as a little e...
Colombian Wiry Green Organic Tea (Formerly Colombian Green Tea) from Simpson & Vail
Style: Green Tea – Region: Colombia77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 31st, 2018
Another lost review, apologies for the delay in posting. Thank you to Simpson & Vail for providing me with this one!
The dry leaf is wonderfully fragrant and also has a beautiful visual appearance, with long, narrow, fully intact leaves. The smell is suggestive of a number of high-grade Chinese teas, and made me e...
Green Tea Decaffeinated from Twinings
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????34 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 29th, 2018
Not great - not undrinkable and still a better choice (for me, anyway) than the standar issues Lipton Black that our office provides.
No caffeine, no complexity, no color - I steeped it over 4 minutes, only a plae green and a few whiffs of grassy/vegetal notes.
I confess, I added sweetener - I just needed a hot ...
Green Tea from Twinings
Style: Sencha – Region: ?????42 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 29th, 2018
Had a teabag stashed in my work bag - and lo and behold it was Twinings Green tea - not even sure where I got it from - not from home - likely from an office or an event I had been to
So I was hankerin' for something OTHER that the Lipton "Wake dat a$$ up" black tea in the office so i brewed up the Twinings Green. ...
Sleeping Dragon from Adagio Teas
Style: Green Tea – Region: Fujian, China40 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 11th, 2018
Overall this was not a great tea at all. I used no sugar and steeped for just above 2 minutes at 170 degrees. Although I fiddled the temperature around with no success.
The tea smells nice and is almost fruity.
Everything comes crashing down in the flavor though. It tastes like I took old vegetable broth and poured i...
Japanese Green Tea from Kirkland Signature / Costco
Style: Green Tea – Region: Japan72 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 8th, 2018
Surprisingly, this is one of the better bagged green teas I've had. A store brand for Costco, it's not expensive; so I assigned a good "value" rating despite receiving it at no extra cost in a package of teas provided by lodging.
Bags are individually plastic-wrapped. Upon ripping one open, an unmistakable matcha...
Java Sunda Purwa (g) from De Theefabriek
Style: Gunpowder Green Tea – Region: West Java, Indonesia48 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 16th, 2017
The first thing that struck me is that it looks and smells exactly like gunpowder tea, even though it isn't called that anywhere. It's not a problem, I even have an idea why one might not want to market gunpowder tea as gunpowder tea (if that really is what this is). The origin and a name might sound more enticing that...

Green Tea from Alghazaleen Tea (Do Ghazal)
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????55 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 7th, 2017
I couldn't resist the 500 g box, it only cost €4.50 so it's extremely cheap. With such bulk teas from Turkish shops I have sometimes gotten lucky, sometimes not.
This one is drinkable, I guess. It's just very finely broken so I have to be really careful not to oversteep it, it easily gets unpleasantly sour and bit...
Gunpowder Green Tea - Temple of Heaven from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Gunpowder Green Tea – Region: ?????75 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Nov. 28th, 2017
Got this at the cafe at the St. Louis Museum of Art. Gunpowder tea in a bag seemed a little strange to me. I steeped for two minutes. It was pretty good. No qualities that jumped out at me, just a decent cup.

Seuj Assam Summer Natural Artisanal Green from TEAORB
Style: Assam Green – Region: Sivasagar, Assam, India56 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Nov. 14th, 2017
Another tea that I found too astringent to enjoy, no matter how I brewed it. I'm finding that about most of these summer-harvest Assam greens and even some of the spring ones. Thank you to TEAORB for the samples, this is an interesting experience even if I don't like all the teas.
Dry leaf smells heavy, pungent, v...
