Chun Mei Green Tea (Zhen Mei) from TeaVivre
Style: Chun Mee – Region: Huangshan, Anhui, China83 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 15th, 2012
This Chun Mee had a subtlety and sweetness that I have never encountered in this type of tea. Dry leaf is very aromatic, typical of this style of tea but more suggesting of sweetness. Like all the teas I received from Teavivre, it smelled extremely fresh.
Compared to other chun mee I've had, this one was sweeter, ...
Green Tea Decaffenated (Classic) from Bigelow Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 13th, 2012
This tea is pretty good. I don't usually like high-quality green teas, but I sometimes like cheaper ones like this. It doesn't have that overly-vegetal taste that I don't like about a lot of green teas. I added cream and sugar.

Dragon Well Green Tea from Novus Tea
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: China63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 1st, 2012
I've never had Dragon Well Tea so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I ended up enjoying it. This tea was more herby or grassy than what I'm used to, but it wasn't overbearing. I thought it was pretty smooth and it didn't leave any strange aftertastes - although it's not my favorite I would drink this tea again!

Dragonwell Green Tea from Teavana
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: Zhejiang, China70 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 24th, 2012
Dragon Well greens teas are my favorite of the greens. This one is the perfect balance of bright grassy flavor and more mellow earthy tastes. I'm not sure the exact specs on when this particular Dragon Well was picked or what flush it might be but regardless its flavor works for me! :)

ZG44: Organic China Houjicha from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Hojicha – Region: China53 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 16th, 2012
This tea has a very intense aroma. The flavor is pretty smooth, and a lot like black teas. I like that it's not as vegetal-tasting as most green teas. It still has a vegetal aroma, though. I like the roasted flavor. I added cream and sugar.

Huang Shan Mao Feng from Teaspring
Style: Mao Feng Green Tea – Region: Huangshan, Anhui, China94 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 12th, 2012
This tea was served to me, Gong Fu style, by Evan. Dry leaf was extremely aromatic.
I found it to be simultaneously strong and refined. The other mao feng green teas I've tried have either been relatively coarser-tasting, with more astringency, or smooth but too weak. This was a powerful tea with a bold flavor, b...
Tai Ping Hou Kui from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Taiping Hou Kui – Region: China47 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Mar. 10th, 2012
This is the first example of Tai Ping Hou Kui that I've sampled, so I didn't really know what to expect. I was disappointed.
This tea was slow to infuse. I wish I had had more of the sample to experiment with; I only had enough for two western-style brewings, both of which I steeped twice, using Upton's 3-minute r...
ZG44: Organic China Houjicha from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Hojicha – Region: China87 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 6th, 2012
I normally think of Chinese versions of Japanese styles of tea as imitations, lower in price and quality than their "original" counterparts. But I liked this one very much, in fact, much more than the considerably pricier TJ41 (which Upton has since discontinued), and TJ40. It immediately became my new favorite hojic...

Gunpowder Green Tea - Temple of Heaven from Numi Organic Tea
Style: Gunpowder Green Tea – Region: ?????63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5

I like this tea, but it is very mild. I usually add lemon.

Jun Chiyabari Himalayan Evergreen from Rare Tea Republic
Style: Green Tea – Region: Nepal77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 2nd, 2012
Of all the green teas I've tried from India, this one was the closest to an actual, high-quality Chinese green tea, in character, yet it was still quite different.
Aroma complex: highly vegetal, with tones of asparagus, but with toasty qualities as well. Flavor is deep but clean. When steeped longer and at a highe...
Green Tea - Classic from Bigelow Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????43 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 12th, 2012
It's funny, the other reviewers comment on how they've had this one in office buildings, and I also have memories of drinking it in an office too.
Recognizable as a Chinese tea (some brands, like Twinings, use Japanese tea or at least a Japanese style of tea for their basic green tea), but otherwise somewhat generic...
Green Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????67 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 12th, 2012
This one starts with a familiar vegetal/grassy note, with a touch of mustiness. More of the same on the palate, a firm vegetal character, slightly dull. Decent body; midweight. Very mild but notable astringency, oversteeping brings this out more. As for value, this is my go-to green tea; at around $4 for a box of 40...

Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????40 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 10th, 2012
This is the green tea in my office; perhaps that alone makes me dislike it more. Maybe I'm unsophisticated, but I take the aroma to be weak and bland, not delicate. It has a very light body, and fairly pale copper hue. The flavor is mild, and lacks both the grassiness and the roastiness that I associate with most de...

This tea is pretty good. Not too vegetal for my taste. I don't usually like high-quality green teas, so this tea must not be very high-quality. I added cream and sugar.

Starter Matcha from Matcha Outlet (Formerly Red Leaf Tea)
Style: Matcha – Region: ?????77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Feb. 9th, 2012
I’m kind of a matcha noob, mostly because matcha is so expensive, but Red Leaf seems to have matcha at good prices. I’ve only had maybe two different matchas in my life so this Starter matcha is perfect for me. It’s kind of like how California Rolls are a perfect starter sushi. It’s pleasant and mild and hard t...

Qianjiang Hubei Jade Organic from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Gunpowder Green Tea – Region: Hubei, China80 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jan. 21st, 2012
This tea was barely like other gunpowder green tea, and much more like other high-grade Chinese green teas. The loose leaf is only loosely rolled, and looks quite delicate.
Aroma is vegetal and light, and suggests sweetness. There's no overt smokiness but there's a suggestion of camphor in the aroma, which I disli...
Organic China Ku-ki Cha from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Kukicha – Region: China40 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 18th, 2012
I was solidly disappointed with this one. Upton's offerings of Japanese styles of tea produced in Japan have been hit-or-miss for me; this and their Sencha were pretty poor, but their Chinese Gyokuro (ZG81) was a pleasant surprise.
Fairly twiggy, mostly stem. Too much astringency and sourness for me. I tried usin...
Woo-jeon Korean Green Tea from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Green Tea – Region: South Korea77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
Dec. 26th, 2011
This tea struck me as having a very typical green tea profile, but being very good, and in an intense sort of way. It is intense more than it is strong.
The dry leaf is wiry, very dark green, and consisting of small leaves. Its aroma is strong and suggests a savory quality. The dry leaf smells rather strongly, a ...
White Eagle Long Life Green Tea from Imperial Tea Garden
Style: Green Tea – Region: Hunan, China91 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 14th, 2011
Another delightful, fascinating, and unusual tea from Imperial Tea Garden. The dry leaf is exclusively tips, slightly twisted, and shows white downy hairs. Its aroma is airy and light, but it smells a bit like tobacco, and has toasty, grassy tones too, with a hint of camphor.
The description of this tea confused m...
Royal Highland Green Tea from Royal Tea of Kenya
Style: Green Tea – Region: Kenya60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 8th, 2011
The dry leaf is thin and wiry, golden in color, and without much aroma.
Upon brewing, the cup produces a dark cup with a wonderful, rich aroma, like one of the darker, richer Chinese pan-fired green teas, but with a vegetal quality usually only found in Darjeeling green and oolongs. The aroma is grassy and fruity, ...
Moon Swirl White Tip from Imperial Tea Garden
Style: Green Tea – Region: Hunan, China83 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 5th, 2011
A fascinating green tea completely unlike anything I've ever sampled before, although admittedly, it's my first tea from Hunan province so that may explain the novelty for me. The tightly-rolled tea looks almost oolong-like, rather unlike Bi-luo chun or gunpowder green tea, but upon brewing, it unfurls to look more li...

Decaffeinated Green Tea (48 ct.) from Bromley Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 2nd, 2011
When I retired and left the east coast I bought boxes (6) of the decaf green tea and I'm now out and unable to find it in California - I have found it online and I plan to order in the near future - I am down to one tea bag. I do appreciate this tea it's quite delicious not bitter but nice and smooth.
Dae-Jak Korean Green Tea from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Green Tea – Region: South Korea73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 1st, 2011
This is the first Korean-grown tea I've ever sampled, and I liked it a lot. It is a broken-leaf tea with a rather uninteresting-looking dry leaf that becomes pleasantly delicate-looking after it is brewed.
I found this tea hard to describe. It brews a clear greenish cup with small flecks of tea leaf. The aroma is...
China Green Tips Full Leaf from Tazo Tea

Got this as gift from a friend and was did not enjoy it as much as I would have excpected from starbucks. Just seemed mass produced and the only nice thing was the tea bag itself which was a nice pyramid one but the tea aroma was unsetteling both loose leaf and steeped. a simple chinese green tea

Yunnan Silvertip Green Tea from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Green Tea – Region: Yunnan, China24 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 1/5
Nov. 1st, 2011
Something tasted very off about this tea. Dry leaf has a very strong aroma of camphor, to the point that it's unpleasant.
My friend Evan and I tried gong fu brewing with this tea and the results were poor. The camphor quality dominated, and, while the tea was certainly somewhat interesting, it wasn't among the mos...
