Because of the distinct qualities of green tea, green teas are typically mixed with different flavorings from those used in black tea. Some flavorings, such as lemon or mint, are common with both types of tea. More recently, green Earl Grey has also become more popular.
Common traditional flavorings for green tea include fruit, toasted rice (genmaicha), flower petals (rose or jasmine), or ginseng.
High-quality flavored green teas typically include flavorings that are well-chosen to blend or harmonize with the characteristics of a carefully chosen base tea. Both Chinese and Japanese-style teas can be used as a base. Because of the tremendous diversity in the different styles of green tea, different teas blend best with different flavorings and ingredients.
When buying loose-leaf flavored green tea, we recommend looking at the different offerings that a company has, and seeing if they all use the same base tea. Companies with lower-quality teas will often use a single base tea and flavor it with different extracts. Companies can also use flavorings to mask lower-quality tea and thus generate a higher profit margin. We recommend seeking out blends where the flavorings are balanced with, rather than overpowering, the base tea.

Orange Flavored Jasmine Green Tea from Rituals
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: BlendJun. 6th, 2024
This peculiar combination came from a Days Inn in Hays, KS, and tasted really nice on their water, so I brought a bag home to try as well. Rituals Teas in general seem to perform above most food-service offerings, and this was no exception.
The type made me curious, because I've never seen orange and jasmine paired...

Mango & Bergamot (Teabags) from Whittard of Chelsea
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: ChinaNov. 5th, 2023
Here's the first in a gift set of bagged teas I'm trying from Whittard. "Value" is hard to judge due to the innate premium that goes with multi-pack samplers. Surprisingly, I got this at World Market for less than the Whittard website's stated U.S. price! As of this writing, Whittard apparently doesn't sell the teab...

Matcha Green Tea Blend Asian Pear from Salada
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: BlendAug. 24th, 2023
First thing I noticed was the volume, so let's offer up a round of applause for Salada, for keeping 20 teabags per box. If inflation has to happen, I'd rather have it through higher prices for the same items than the more deceptive, underhanded practice of "shrinkflation", seen in other teas. Each bag is normal-sized...
Read Full ReviewOrganic Pineapple Passion Green Tea from Arbor Teas
Style: Flavored Green Tea – Region: ChinaMay. 5th, 2023
A mild, fruity green tea. The pineapple comes thru clearly, but I was not picking up much maracuja. Nice aroma of citrus and calendula flowers. On screen this seems like it would be a good iced tea, but my guess is it is not robust enough. This could use a little more uumph, but it is a perfectly pleasant tea.
Read Full ReviewI am very pleased with this ginger-citrus flavored Sencha by Arbor. Made with all organic and natural ingredients (tea, orange peel, ginger, calendula petals, natural flavors), it has a pleasant flavor and a nice citrus aroma. The ginger dominates the taste, but it is well complimented by the flavor of fresh oranges,...
