Good tea June 18, 2008
Karen Cantu (NL, Mexico)
This tea has a really different taste from anything else, all other green teas will taste old compared to this. The pack it came in lasted me for about 3 months and I'm really sorry they don't have it avaliable anymore. I really recommend this.

This tea tastes the same as the top-of-the-line tea I used to buy at Teavana and it costs 1/3 the price. I rarely drink anyhting else anymore because I cannot find a better tasting tea an any price.

I have consumed two bags of this green tea. It is an excellent quality tea, balanced in flavor and balanced in terms of the sense of well-being it imparts to the imbiber. It helps me to concentrate better and helps to even out my moods. It feels like a good detoxifier to take after eating a meal with a lot of saturated fats or meat, partly because of its anti-inflammatory effects. It has less caffeine than regular tea or coffee. Just enough caffeine to give a slight elevation of mood, but not enough to cause one to hyper-concentrate and feel mood swings. Of course, this tea consists of loose leaves and twigs, and not tea bags. This is an important concept. In a typical supermarket, the tea comes in bags and has too much caffeine and is overly processed, which reduces its nutritional value dramatically. In general, green tea bought from a popular brand in a supermarket does not contribute to the reputation for health that green tea has. This kind of green tea that is in the natural form is the only kind that does. I brew it by microwaving water to boiling, then letting the water cool for a couple minutes while stirring it with a spoon to agitate out any oxygen dissolved in the water. Then put a heaping teaspoon of the tea in it and let it sit for 3-4 minutes. Very hot but not boiling water is the key. You will likely find that consuming natural forms of green tea like this one, raw and unroasted, is far superior to drinking most popular brands of tea from the supermarket, or to drinking coffee.
 My favorite green tea! March 14, 2006

The pouch is vacuum sealed and holds about 100gms of delicate, deep-emerald, leaves. I use about a tsp for a 12-16oz cup. It is very important to avoid using boiling water if you want to get the full benefits and flavor of this tea. Water at a rolling boil will overcook the tea and you will notice that the tea quickly turns brown in the cup. If you adhere to directions and use water at 80 deg. C., you will be left with a wonderful cup of GREEN tea that stays green. I absolutely love the fresh, grassy flavor of this tea and it is a wonderful pick-me-up. The first sip of this tea leaves a distinctly sweet note on the tongue even though there is no actual sugar in the tea! I have spent hundreds on different teas, but I keep returning to this one as my staple.
This tea has a fresh and nice look March 11, 2005

This tea tastes great, and it gives a nicely conceived fresh looking feel.
I purchase 2 small packages, but I sure will get more.
