Unusual, delicate and sensual! January 1, 2009
Snowbrocade (Santa Barbara, CA)
This tea scores high on all counts--fragrance, flavor and even the name! Making tea with Lotus creates a delicate light green brew which is deliciously scented. The flavor is augmented by the aroma--a light floral flavor with just a hint of the grassines of green tea. The unusual taste of lotus flower is hard to describe--it has a slight buttery flavor reminiscent of fine jasmine tea.
If you need a strong jolt of flavor this tea is not for you. If you want something unusual, savor the subtlety of this wonderful tea.
Quote from The Book of Tea by Okakura:
"Meanwhile, let us have a sip of tea. The afternoon glow is brightening the bamboos, the fountains are bubbling with delight, the soughing of pines is heard in our kettle. Let us dream of evanescence, and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things."
the perfect green tea December 2, 2008

I first had this tea while at a conference and fell in love with it! Mild tea flavor with a subtle sweetness. And decaffeinated to boot...I had a hard time finding it at my grocery store so decided to look on Amazon, and was floored by the price they had for the six pack! I drink 2-3 cups a day and am in heaven....
Harder to find in stores November 3, 2008
Mare (Missouri)
My mother in law called and told me that she was having a real hard time finding this particular tea where my in-laws moved to. I went to my local grocery stores and Starbucks, but was unable to find just the box of Lotus Green tea. Sometimes you can find it in the variety pack, but then you end up buying several packs of tea only for the 4 teas you want. I went online and found that Amazon had the best price for the tea in a giant pack of 6! So I ordered it and had it shipped directly to my mother-in-law. She was thrilled to receive it so quickly. She really enjoys the light taste and that it is decaf.
Best tea! October 30, 2008

This is the best green tea I've tasted. It has a very smooth after taste and isn't bitter at all. I would highly recommend this tea. I'm not sure why, but all the grocery stores around me including whole foods and stop & shop stopped carrying this quite some time ago..
 Flowery Decaffeinated Green Tea Experience July 27, 2008

Tazo's Lotus Decaffeinated Green Tea is one of my favorite Tazo teas. The lotus flower flavor is pleasant and delightful. This tea is not bitter or harsh in any way. It is one of the most natural-tasting of the Tazo's I've tasted, very subtle, and much less artificial-tasting.
The ingredients in Lotus are: naturally decaffeinated green tea, natural lotus flower flavor and other natural flavors. Of course, this tea is caffeine-free.
Tazo is an interesting company that makes only super premium teas. They are socially responsible, based in Portland, and have the motto, "The Reincarnation of Tea". Tazo is owned by Starbucks. Their web site is fun and quirky, with a Zen-type focus, definitely worth checking out. It is unclear, though, from their web site, how many of their ingredients are organic or kosher, and they do use some "natural flavors" in their teas--this wording seems a little vague for a super premium tea.
On the paper tea packet, Tazo writes, "delightfully subtle green tea with the inner radiance and essence of lotus flower." On their web site, Tazo describes the flavor profile of Lotus as "peach, nutty, flowery, overripe melon. This surprisingly full-flavored yet delicately floral blend is clean and light-bodied, with an aroma reminiscent of freesia." Tazo also describes the aroma as "tropical fruit, green tea". Hmmm...I don't taste all of these various flavors, and I suspect that Tazo really pushes the creative writing limit. I taste green tea, and a nice flowery flavor, which I'm assuming is the lotus, but not the rest---the peach, nuts, melon, freesia, tropical fruit---they're missing from what I can discern here.
I would rate this tea, and Tazo in general, as good---better than premium teas like Stash or Celestial Seasonings---but not as good as Numi. I'm soooooo spoiled by Numi teas, which is why Tazo Lotus gets only four stars.
