Green Tea Tulsi Tea from Organic India
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: ?????40 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Mar. 8th, 2013
For some reason, I did not expect to like this one, I think in large part because I've had pretty bad experiences with finely-broken green tea in tea bags, and I also don't see Tulsi's characteristic flavor and aroma blending as well with green teas as I think it does with black tea.
Although I still wasn't crazy ab...
Earl Green (Bergamot Oolong) from Rishi Tea
Style: Earl Grey Green Tea – Region: Blend67 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 12th, 2013
I find it interesting that this tea is sometimes presented as green and other times presented as oolong. The base is pouchong or bao zhong, and it is flavored with bergamot as Earl Grey tea is...it is NOT the same as Yongchun Fo Shou, the other tea called Bergamot Oolong, a tea I like very much.
Edgy, lemony, and s...
Matcha Infused Genmaicha from Aiya
Style: Genmaicha – Region: Japan70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 11th, 2012
The presence of the matcha is boldly evident looking at the dry leaf, but upon brewing, this tea seemed pretty similar to other genmaicha--perhaps a tiny bit more cloudy, but similar flavor and aroma.
Pleasingly nutty and toasty aroma, with a hint of vegetal tones. Flavor is smooth and overall character is mellow.

Citron Green from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: China77 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 7th, 2012
This tea impressed me, and I'll say it is not only the only citrus-flavored green tea that I have really enjoyed, but it is also my favorite flavored tea from Adagio yet!
The dry leaf has a strong aroma of lime and citronella, but upon brewing, the citrus aroma is more subdued.
The aroma has a pleasing, grassy an...
Tropical Green (Sachet) from Harney and Sons
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: ?????50 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Apr. 23rd, 2012
Normally I would not seek a tea like this out; I tried this tea in the cafe at a Barnes and Noble, whose selection only included Harney and Sons' flavored teas, and I thought I'd try something new.
I can't say I liked it a whole lot, but I did find this tea pleasant, and I was impressed with its execution, even thou...
Organic Green Tea Leaves from Helps
Style: Green Tea with Mint – Region: Blend1 / 100 Aroma: 1/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 1/5
Sep. 29th, 2011
The spearmint in this blend was smooth and pleasing...but the green tea was very bad to the point of making the blend almost undrinkable...a sort of foul, stale aroma...with a heavy, astringent taste. It tasted a lot like the low-quality Chinese green tea used in Bigelow's basic green tea bags, but it was far worse.

Organic Green Tea With Organic Peppermint (Sachet) from Harney and Sons
Style: Green Tea with Mint – Region: Blend73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Sep. 12th, 2011
I really prefer blends of green tea with spearmint to those containing peppermint, but given that this is a peppermint blend, I think it is quite outstanding.
The peppermint has a candy-like quality, clean, clear, and suggesting sweetness. The base tea is smooth, slightly sweet, and believe it or not, blends seamle...
Genmai-Cha from Takaokaya
Style: Genmaicha – Region: Shizuoka, Japan63 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Aug. 17th, 2011
Very mild, mellow flavor, but without being bland. This was good quality for a tea bag, and given that the tea bag did not seem to have the most generous quantity of leaf.
The brew is cloudy, as expected for a blend containing matcha, and the aroma is mostly of popcorn. More popcorn-like and less toasty than other...
Cacaoberry Green Tea from Zhena's Gypsy Tea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend47 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Jul. 25th, 2011
A balanced but somewhat muddled tea. Brews a brownish-orange cup with a greenish tinge. Flavor is mild and smooth. Aroma is weak at first, but upon drinking, there's a strong fruitiness that emerges. I don't notice much of the base green tea, but the rooibos is definitely present.
Interesting to try, but unimpre...
Brown Rice Green Tea from Dong Suh
Style: Genmaicha – Region: ?????53 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 3/5
Jun. 14th, 2011
I was curious to try this to see if it was noticeably different from Genmaicha from the mainstream Japanese brands. It did seem a bit different.
Brews an opaque, light yellow cup. Typical genmaicha taste, but with more of the toasted rice aroma and less tea presence. Very smooth, mild, unobtrusive.
Surprising...
Green Ginger from Tazo Tea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: China47 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Feb. 27th, 2011
Strong gingery aroma: dried ginger, not particularly fresh. The aroma is also suggestive of licorice. Lemongrass is noticeable in the aroma. Not much green tea presence. Spicy overall. Flavor is muddled. Color is a rich golden orange. Peppery aftertaste.
While I've had a lot worse, this one just didn't do it ...
Moroccan Mint Green Tea from Dilmah
Style: Green Tea with Mint – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon40 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Jan. 16th, 2011
I tend to like Ceylon greens and I also like the typical Moroccan mint blends, so I was optimistic about this one. But this tea uses peppermint rather than spearmint.
Although the peppermint aroma is toned down relative to a pure peppermint herbal tea, peppermint still dominates the aroma. The underlying base tea ...
Earl Grey Leaf Green Tea from Hyson
Style: Earl Grey Green Tea – Region: ?????83 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 30th, 2010
This surprised me; it's a whole-leaf tea with relatively large leaves; a few of the leaves are broken or torn but most are intact.
Fruity and floral aroma, even perfumey, with a slightly smoky finish. Gentler than any other Earl Grey I've had. The flavor profile is similar to a high-quality Jasmine, but the aroma ...
Tangerine Iced Tea from Summer Breeze
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: Blend63 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 23rd, 2010
I had this in Saxby's coffee shop. It is not bad. In contrast to most citrus-flavored teas, the fruit is not overdone, and this tea has a bold green tea presence. I'm not sure what tea is used as the base tea, but it seems to resemble sencha, bancha or other steamed tea more than a Chinese pan-fire tea: the aroma ha...

GOLD GENMAI-CHA Brown Rice Tea from Maeda-en
Style: Genmaicha – Region: Japan50 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 30th, 2010
A fairly strong, but light aroma, mostly of popcorn, a sort of light, toasty quality. Much less nutty than other genmaicha's. Very little tea presence in the aroma, even using a generous quantity of leaf and brewing longer than recommended. Flavor has an oddly strong savory (umami) quality...almost no bitterness and...

Zen Filterbags from Tazo Tea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: ?????43 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Apr. 12th, 2010
Flat, dry aroma, mostly of straw and leaf...little fruity lemon aroma and more of the muted straw-like quality of the lemongrass. Very bitter. Crisp but without being fresh or cooling as I had hoped from this tea. I also found the tea to be weak in aroma.
This was disappointing, both on its own and relative to wh...
Oasis from Tea Forte
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend53 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 2/5
Apr. 1st, 2010
Fairly bitter; almost tastes like it contains lemongrass but it's not listed on the ingredient list. Not floral, in spite of the flowers--the marigold imparts a warm but somewhat heavy quality. Citrusy, but in a slightly harsh, citronella-like way rather than a fruity way. Pleasantly astringent.
More than a bit m...
Decaf Lotus Blossom Green (Lotus) from Tazo Tea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: ?????50 / 100 Aroma: 3/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Mar. 25th, 2010
Brews a dark golden-orange, dark for a green tea. Aroma is flat and subdued; there's not even a hint of floral quality. Surprisingly full-bodied, however, for a decaffeinated tea. More flavorful than aromatic.
Not what I expected; I was expecting something light and floral, but this is a heavier tea, disappointin...
Orange, Passionfruit Jasmine Green Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: Blend30 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Mar. 8th, 2010
Aroma is intense and fruity, but muddled. I find that the jasmine doesn't blend well with the other aromas. The green tea is noticeable in this blend--but I'm not crazy of their choice of green tea to blend with the other ingredients. This tea is on the acidic side; it's bold flavor doesn't mesh well with the aroma....

Orange Sencha from Two Leaves and a Bud
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: China27 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Feb. 11th, 2010
Aroma mostly of orange peel, overwhelming the green tea. The orange in the aroma is not particularly fruity, and has a dry quality to it. Although the tea presence is weak, I find that it blends well with the orange, but produces a tea that has an imbalanced aroma, coming across more like a cleaning solution than a t...

Lively Lemon Green Tea (Classic Lemon) from Salada
Style: Green Tea with Lemon – Region: ?????40 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 7th, 2009
Tangy, lemony, almost peppery...more like lemon peel than other forms of lemon. Some tea presence but the tea is overpowered by the lemon.

Moroccan Mint Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Green Tea with Mint – Region: ?????43 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Nov. 4th, 2009
Aroma of spearmint and little else; disappointing after Stash's other flavored teas which have a bolder tea presence. The spearmint is very smooth and candy-like, but overall this tea is weak, especially in comparison to Stash's other offerings.
There is a little bitterness which was the only hint of green tea pres...
Green Tea - Lemongrass - Decaf from Good Earth Teas
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: Blend26 / 100 Aroma: 2/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 1/5
Oct. 15th, 2009
Upon opening the package there is an immediate burst of a very strong artificial-seeming fruity aroma. The tea brews a dark orange color; there's little aroma of either tea or lemongrass. There's a kind of fresh, earthy aroma in this tea but it tastes a bit more like ginseng or even ginger than it does like green tea...

Tropical Goji Green from Two Leaves and a Bud
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: Blend57 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
Oct. 10th, 2009
Aroma sweet-suggesting, slightly fruity but not overly so. The tea and berries seem to blend very well, and in spite of the addition of "natural tropical flavors" this doesn't have a particularly artificial taste. Smooth but tangy. A lot of dust gets through the teabag and sinks to the bottom of the cup, but this do...

Ginger Peach Green Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: ?????73 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Sep. 27th, 2009
Initial aroma is mostly of peach if you brew this tea briefly, but as you brew it longer the ginger comes out much more strongly; the ginger aroma stays in the cup. Smooth, fresh tasting...the ginger is very noticeable, especially if you brew it for a long time. I enjoyed this one very much; it has a very different c...
