First Grade Gunpowder Green from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Gunpowder Green Tea – Region: China60 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 5th, 2024
There is not much flavor here, but there are no unpleasant flavors or aromas either. I have certainly had stronger gunpowder teas, but this one is very easy to drink, and offered at a low price.

Hojicha from Harney and Sons
Style: Hojicha – Region: Kyoto, Japan90 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
May. 31st, 2024
I love teas with a toasted flavor like this. This tea is certainly a great example of a good hojicha. This tea is sweet and thick bodied, slightly astringent in a good way, and of course has that wonderful toasted flavor. The aroma is very nice and also has the toasted smell. This tea is yet another old tea I'm reviewi...

Colombian Wiry Green Organic Tea (Formerly Colombian Green Tea) from Simpson & Vail
Style: Green Tea – Region: Colombia68 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 24th, 2024
This tea seems pretty good quality and has a nice, but mild green tea aroma. The price is reasonable and the tea is good enough that I think the value is fair. It tastes like a classic green tea however it is slightly too bitter and astringent for my taste. I have a lower threshold for these qualities than some and it ...

Mao Feng Green Tea from Teapigs
Style: Mao Feng Green Tea – Region: Anhui, China79 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 3/5
Feb. 6th, 2024
I've only chugged one other green tea of the Mao Feng type (a Tazo bagged offering), and enjoyed that, so I figured I'd try a bigger-leaf, sacheted version. This is one of the best green teas I've had, lots of personality, and mostly worth the slight premium one pays when shoveling a stack of bills across the counter ...

Bi Luo Chun from Teasenz
Style: Bi Luo Chun – Region: Jiangsu, China90 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Jun. 24th, 2023
Lovely seaweedy and nutty flavour. The tea leaves are very delicate and when steeped they show a nice vibrant green colour. Due to the small leaves the flavour releases quickly. I steeped 5 grams of this tea in a gaiwan for 10 seconds for the first 3 steeps and afterwards I increased it gradually. Could enjoy around 12...

Nanjing Yu Hua Cha from Teasenz
Style: Green Tea – Region: Jiangsu, China95 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Jun. 24th, 2023
Steeped 5 gram of this green tea at 85ºC for 10 seconds in a gaiwan for the first 3 steeps, and afterwards, I gradually increased the steeping time by 5 seconds per steep. Unlike like green teas such as maofeng and anjibai, this green tea is savoury and robust with sweet, nutty, and vegetal notes. Excellent value for ...

Premium Green Decaf Tea from Stash Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: China88 / 100 Aroma: 8/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Apr. 14th, 2023
Solid decaf bagged green tea. Though I like caffeination, I have found I actually often like decaf teas for their flavor.

Matcha Hagoromo from Ujinotsuyu
Style: Matcha – Region: Japan70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 27th, 2023
I picked up a little can of this inexpensive matcha at a Chinese food shop, and was pleasantly surprised. It is smooth and drinkable, with a bit of fresh grain and rice in the flavor. I have had some low-cost matchas that are bitter and cheap tasting, but this is not bad at all.

Yunnan "Pine Needles" Green Tea from Mengku from Yunnan Sourcing
Style: Green Tea – Region: Shuangjiang, Yunnan, China50 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 2/5
Nov. 20th, 2022
Not my favorite tea. A little bit soapy and bitter tasting and there wasn’t much interesting stuff going on to redeem it. The aroma was really weak too so overall not worth it for me. I’m giving it a 50 because it’s not that great but it’s also like not too horrible. I wouldn’t buy it again though.

Cup at home, made from small, coiled, curly leaves of Chinese green tea from Zheijiang, some of which resemble granulate. Pours clear straw (against white china) with no sediment. Clear, leafy aroma with mild touches of nuts and hints of fruit. Bitter, leafy flavour with nutty touches and dusty hints. Moderately astrin...

Sencha Special Grade Yamato from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Sencha – Region: Japan65 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Aug. 16th, 2022
This is an unexciting but perfectly drinkable sencha, that is offered at a fair price by Upton. There is a little iron and spinach in the flavor, but not enough to be irritating. It wouldn't hurt to some of this in your cupboard.

Aoyanagi Green from Ujinotsuyu
Style: Bancha – Region: Japan47 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 2/5
Jun. 1st, 2022
The 200g package is heavy, sealed plastic. It's not resealable, so have another airtight container to put it into after opening.
The dry tea is bright green and broken into medium-small pieces. The initial aroma is strong and grassy.
The directions say to use 3g of tea per 100ml, boiling water, and to steep for 3...
Decaffeinated Green Tea from Lipton Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????48 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
May. 25th, 2022
I bought this as a box of 40 tea bags. Inside were two sealed Mylar sleeves of otherwise unwrapped tea bags. I opened the first sleeve and transferred the tea bags to an airtight container.
The dry tea smells faintly of green tea. Brewing, it has a kind of strange, savory smell, like potato soup, but with a vegetal ...
Decaf Green Tea from Triple Leaf Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: China63 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 2/5
May. 25th, 2022
The tea bags are wrapped in paper inside a cellophane-sealed cardboard box. After opening the package, I put them into an airtight container.
The dry tea has a faint, grassy smell. The brewing tea smells quite a bit fresher than I expected. It's vegetal, slightly tannic and recognizably green tea.
For a decaf gre...
Ceylon Blackwood Estate Organic Green Tea from Simpson & Vail
Style: Green Tea – Region: Uva, Sri Lanka70 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
May. 9th, 2022
The aroma is a mild sweet, I'm reminded of honey. The flavor is 'clean', with a slight sweet after taste that for me does not linger on the tongue. The liquor brews (5 min) to a pleasant medium brown. Very enjoyable.

Pure Green Tea (100% Green tea) from Salada
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????64 / 100 Aroma: 4/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Feb. 12th, 2022
As with many inexpensive, bagged green teas, this didn't offer much dry-bag or in-cup aroma, but what there was had a pleasantly grassy to vegetal characteristic that carried over somewhat to the taste, which was quite mild with hints of celery. In that sense, if Salada removed the last "a" from their name, it wouldn'...

"Yu Luo" High Mountain Pure Bud Green Tea from Yunnan Sourcing
Style: Green Tea – Region: Simao, Yunnan, China84 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Nov. 7th, 2021
Thanks Dewey for sharing this with me! This was a smooth, mellow, mild green tea that was easy to brew and enjoy.
The leaf of this smells very fresh, a sort of sweet fragrance, almost floral, typical of high-quality, tippy Chinese green teas. It's pleasant but also hard to anticipate how it is going to taste, so I w...
Long Mei Yunnan Green Tea of Zhenyuan from Yunnan Sourcing

Sep. 4th, 2021
This was a robust green tea that was challenging to brew, but rewarding when I got it right. Thank you to Dewey for sharing this one with me!
The leaf is beautiful, wiry, slightly curly, and diverse in color, from dusty dark green to silvery-gray with a yellowish tinge. It has a potent fragrance, with a hint of camp...
Organic Green Tea from Trader Joe's

Sep. 2nd, 2021
Landing at a Trader Joe's store in Tucson while on a photography road trip out thataway, I bought a box of this, as a presumably acceptable substitute for some of the truly terrible, off-brand and store-brand (here's looking at you, Great Value) bagged green teas offered at motels and campgrounds. It was, but still fa...

Half-litre cup at home, made from organic Sencha leaves. Pours clear pale olive green / lemon juice yellow (against white china) with no sediment. Mild aroma of Sencha leaves. Ditto flavour, with delicate malty notes. Mildly astringent aftertaste with leafy and malty touches. Well, a very decent Sencha, I suppose, alth...

Steep Organic Pure Green Decaffeinated Tea from Bigelow Tea
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????42 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 2/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 19th, 2021
After my experiences with other teas in the Steep line, I'm a little disappointed in this tea. It's not terrible, though.
The dry tea smells like dusty hay, vegetal, but otherwise nondescript.
The brewing tea smells grassy, but the aroma is a bit weak. There's also a sort of "shrimp" note that I've detected in ot...
Organice Fukamushi Cha from Upton Tea Imports
Style: Green Tea – Region: Japan75 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Jul. 9th, 2021
This is a new one for me - a fukamushi tea. It looks like a bancha, but according to Upton's website fukamushi is its own category. A websearch shows me that it is a moderately to fully steamed green tea, usually a sencha. This has a wonderful earthy, fresh woodlands aroma. The taste is light and leafy, with a fair...

Decaffeinated Green Tea from Great Value
Style: Green Tea – Region: ?????14 / 100 Aroma: 1/10 Flavor: 1/5 Value: 2/5
Jun. 11th, 2021
Quite simply, this is one of the worst teas I've tried. For starters, it has no dry-bag aroma at all. I suppose that's better than a noxious smell, since it's basically the scent of the teabag itself. Then the in-cup and wet-bag scents resembled a balanced blend of very faint green tea with wet paper. Something abo...
