Green Spiral from Utopian Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: Fujian, China87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Jul. 12th, 2010
What an interesting green tea, it’s like none i’ve ever had. The liquor is thicker than usual, and the color is darker as well. It doesn’t taste vegetal,or grassy at all, but instead has an earthy aspect, that reminds me of some black teas maybe? I can’t place the taste, but it is really full and very flavorf...

White Monkey Paw from Utopian Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: Wuyi, Fujian, China77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5

laid back tea, that is in between green and white. Fruity,sweet and nuttiness.

Organic Premium Green Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 7th, 2010
As with most of Stash's teas, I am quite impressed with the level of quality that is available in these inexpensive tea bags which are available in most supermarkets.
Aroma is slightly toasty, slighty grassy...almost like they've blended a Chinese pan-fired tea with a Japanese steamed green tea. Not terribly comple...

Himalayan Green | Artistry from Ineeka
Style: Green Tea – Region: Himalayas57 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 4th, 2010
Unusual and different, even among green teas from the Himalayan region. This tea does not have any immediate bite, unlike most Chinese and Japanese greens of a similar overall strength. I think "dry" is a very good term to describe this tea, not just the finish but the whole experience of drinking it...it's somewhat ...

Three Kingdoms Mao Feng Green Tea from Teavana
Style: Mao Feng Green Tea – Region: Fujian, China63 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
May. 23rd, 2010
This is a very mild and sweet green tea, similar to Teavana's Pi Lo Chun but less aromatic and perhaps slightly grassier. Pleasing but bordering on bland and boring if brewed as instructed. I find that with a very long steep time (8+ min), however, it acquires nuances in the aroma that are absent otherwise...includin...

Style: Bi Luo Chun – Region: China63 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
May. 20th, 2010
Aroma is grassy and fruity. The aroma is light and very pleasing...not the most complex I've had for a green tea but certainly very enjoyable. Flavor is very smooth...almost no bitterness and only the faintest hint of astringency if you let the cup brew for a very long time.
I settled on a very different method of...

Lung Ching Dragonwell from Peet's Coffee and Tea (Peets)
Style: Dragon Well (Long Jing) – Region: China87 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
May. 17th, 2010
If I could drink only one green tea, it would be this one, with its flat, olive-green leaves and irresistible buttery finish. It's very smooth, not bitter or pungent at all, with a deeper, richer flavor than some greens. It does have a vegetal quality, but I'd say the aroma is more like asparagus than grass. I like asp...

Organic Ho-ji Cha Kamakura from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Hojicha – Region: Kanagawa, Japan70 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 13th, 2010
Noticeably different from TJ40...more heavily roasted (tending toward the dark side among all hojicha's I've tried)...very dark brown cup. The aroma is not overwhelmingly roasty, however...there are still a few of the fresh green tea tones present.
Flavor is sour...which I don't like, although there's also a hint o...

Japan Bancha Organic from TeaGschwendner

aroma: grassy, vegetal, somewhat sweet.

Japan Matcha Hikari Organic from TeaGschwendner
Style: Matcha – Region: Japan57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 1/5
Apr. 30th, 2010
note: this is the first matcha tea i've tried. i really don't know anything about them.
i don't really know what i'm doing. a friend of mine happened to have a tin of this [received as a gift], and we tried our best to properly prepare it according to internet directions.
it was a tasty green tea. light in fla...

Organic Pure Green Tea (Premium Green Tea Organic) from Bigelow Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????37 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Apr. 29th, 2010
Brewed for 4 minutes with water that had cooled well below boiling, it brews an opaque golden color.
Aroma is mostly flat. There's a hint of a very pleasant floral quality, but it's overshadowed by a cardboard-like quality that basically ruins it for me. Ignoring the aroma, the flavor is good. Slightly tangy, wit...

Japanese Ku-Ki Ho-Ji Cha (Roasted Ku-Ki Cha) from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Hojicha – Region: Japan77 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Apr. 23rd, 2010
Aroma powerful and enticing like a dark roast coffee. This tea foams when brewed, and the brewed cup is clearer and lighter in color than you'd expect from the aroma and dark color of the twigs. Unlike some kukicha, this tea seems to be made exclusively out of twigs with not even a bit of leaf.
Surprisingly, relat...

Kukicha from Rishi Tea
Style: Kukicha – Region: Kagoshima, Japan80 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 22nd, 2010
A friend who knows the owners of Rishi brewed a cup of this then gave me a sample to take home. I brewed some for friends who normally will only drink Oolong -- they loved it too.

Style: Green Tea – Region: Taiwan / Formosa53 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 22nd, 2010
The dry leaf is flaky in appearance, meaning it is probably a steamed tea like a sencha. But the aroma is totally unlike sencha.
Brewing as I would Sencha, this comes out a cloudy grayish green, more yellowish than most Japanese teas but greener than most pan-fired teas.
This tea is packed with flavor: a rich, c...

Green Tea from Wegmans
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????83 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 21st, 2010
Wegmans green tea is one of the better cheap green teas. It has a basic green tea taste. I could drink it every morning. It's a good stand-by, especially for those of us on a budget. It is really cheap but has a good flavor.

Megami Sencha from ITO EN
Style: Sencha – Region: Kagoshima, Japan100 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 18th, 2010
Excellent, concentrated, grassy but not Spinach-ey, altogether stimulating and simultaneously soothing drink. Like drinking green amber.
Not a wuss tea; highly recommended.

SEN-CHA Green Tea from Maeda-en
Style: Sencha – Region: Japan57 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 17th, 2010
Aroma mostly of sweet corn. There's a hint of roast in there too...but it's not always pleasant...it almost resembles the stale coffee aroma you get if you run hot water through a coffee machine that hasn't been cleaned in a while. Slightly sweet and also with some pleasant bitterness, and very little astringency. T...

Triple-Cup Extra Green from Foojoy
Style: Green Tea – Region: Zhejiang, China70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 12th, 2010
Aroma fresh and grassy, with a hint of toastiness and a faint suggestion of mint. Very delicate flavor: I'd call this one slightly brisk but not bitter. Remarkably full-bodied given the lightness of the flavor. The astringency builds somewhat upon drinking it but even by the end it's still enjoyable.
This tea is ...

Bi Lo Chun Reserve from Teas Etc
Style: Bi Luo Chun – Region: China90 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Mar. 25th, 2010
This quickly became one of my favorite teas.
This tea has a very delicate yet distinct flavor, milder than a dragonwell, but somewhat similar.
The delicateness of this tea make it a perfect afternoon or evening sip and I find they inspire relaxation.
One of the more unusual looking leaves when dry, simil...

China Green Tips Full Leaf from Tazo Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: Zhejiang, China77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 25th, 2010
While not a fan of the bagged teas in general, this one is not too bad. What makes it even better is that now Starbucks has converted their tea inventory into whole leaf varieties of the same tea.
The whole leaf version of this tea is pretty good, and since there is a starbucks on every corner, it's a good choice w...

Shan Tuyet Snow Green from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Green Tea – Region: Vietnam77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 9th, 2010
Brews a rich golden color. The aroma of this tea is more similar to a dragonwell tea than any other green tea I've tried, but the overall experience of drinking it is very different. Very aromatic, with a slightly toasty aroma. The flavor is muted and the tea has a cooler quality than dragonwell, with a hint of smok...

Roasted Tea Hoji-cha (16 ct.) from Yamamotoyama
Style: Hojicha – Region: Japan63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 9th, 2010
These teabags are strong, with a generous quantity of leaf. The roast is noticeable but light, and this hojicha has a fresh, crisp quality, more like green tea. It's not terribly complex, but overall, I think this is a very good tea that offers outstanding value, especially among teabags.
These teabags are versati...

Organic Hojicha from Traditional Medicinals
Style: Hojicha – Region: Japan57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 7th, 2010
On the heavily roasted and dark side, more coffee-like in aroma and fewer of the green tea qualities come through. Good, but not terribly complex.
There also isn't the most generous quantity of leaf in the teabag. The company recommends 8 oz. of water per teabag, and a long infusion. I brewed it this way and it w...

Organic Wuyuan Ruikang Hairpoint from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Green Tea – Region: Wuyuan, Jiangxi, China83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Mar. 7th, 2010
Upton seems to excel at inexpensive, organic Chinese green teas, and this one is no exception. The thin, wiry leaves have an interesting appearance both before and after brewing.
Aroma is very grassy and a little bit vegetal, with some dark floral tones almost more suggestive of a black tea. Grassier, sweeter, and...
