Green Tea by Stash Tea Company

Steamed fresh from the garden, our Premium Green tea retains its color and natural flavor, leaving it rich in antioxidants. Pale green in the cup, with a slightly sweet flavor. Sip it plain.

I have tried several times to like this tea because my mother pawned off a giant box of it on me a few months ago. Haven’t been successful yet. I think it will become a cooking tea. It moves from tasteless and dull to bitter and overpowering in a flash.

This is a classic green tea that I enjoyed for years, before branching out to trying other tea companies. Although I enjoyed this tea for so long, it really isn’t anything special. It was just an old, reliable, does the trick kind of green tea. I had to make sure I watched my water temperature with this tea, because if it was too hot, it had a tendency to get bitter, Also, I find that you do not get as many brews out of the quantity of tea that you use. However, considering how inexpensive this tea is, it’s still a great value, and a good starter tea. It just doesn’t need to be a staple in my cupboard anymore.

This is one where the packaging doesn’t lie — it is indeed a basic green tea that tastes somewhat nutty. This was one of my first loose teas and while it’s nothing special, it was a good introduction.

It’s not bad for a generic green! I didn’t have any problems with the bitterness, but I also tend to use a little more water than suggested (and actually to enjoy pungent aftertastes…). I agree with other reviewers—this is a solid “everyday” tea.

The Fairfield Inn in Anchorage serves this tea in bags with breakfast. I personally like this tea — it’s a good average green tea, and it’s one of the only Stash teas I can drink. I usually hate Stash teas wtih a vengeance (which makes me sad, since they’re a PNW company), but this really makes me happy. I definitely suggest removing the teabag after a few minutes at most, but it’s worth it for a good green breakfast tea. I take it with milk (and everyone thinks I’m weird, but it makes it nice and smooth).

My local grocery store has Stash teas at $1.78 for 20 bags. Perhaps it’s time to revisit Stash and hope that their other teas are better than their chocolate and vanilla ones. Since I know this one is good, I grabbed a box. I’ve been told by a very trustworthy lady that the orange spice is good for sun tea, so I may try that (when there’s light again. Goodness, Washington, why do you have to have so much fog this year?).

I had this tea for the last five days in the morning at the Fairfield Inn in Anchorage. I only tried my first green tea about five years ago, and so I guess I’m still getting used to the general green tea taste (I like my black teas). I enjoyed every cup of this tea, though. I think I may seek it out when I get back to living a normal life.

Basic green that my employer stocks at work. I does have a nutty flavor, but the finish is clean. Nothing to write home about, but not bad.

Good for a no frills green tea.

I have to sit on this tea like a mother hen on chicks or else it gets bitter easily. I don’t care for any of the stash teas that I have tried so far. My husband wants to try thier Super Green tea, I hope it’s better than this or thier fusion white and green.

Just fine, I suppose. Gets bitter pretty easily, so be careful. Otherwise, a decent green tea.

Like everyone else this Green Tea is perfect for when you are on the go. I’ve tried steeping it in cooler water for a longer period of time before and I believe that gets the best results from this one, but sometimes it’s just the luck of the bag, as it does get bitter very fast if you are not careful.

I like green tea – this kind is not the best, not the worst.

A good mid-quality green tea. I steeped it for 2.5 minutes in steaming (not hot!) water and it came out well – refreshing without any bitterness.

At first I didn’t like this because it got bitter very easily, but then I started steeping it for just less than two minutes and found it’s a perfectly good, tasty green tea. As long as you steep it carefully it’s fine. Lately this has become my everyday green tea.

Don’t like green tea much, but it suffices in a pinch.

A perfectly fine bag tea served at a restaurant this morning with a pot of tepid tap water. Boo. I’m going to volunteer to be this place’s tea sommelier.

I agree with the above comments: it’s generally a solid green tea, but easily becomes rather bitter with water that is too hot.

Barbiturate Cat

Prepared with barely-hot water, these bags make an okay green tea that is slightly sweet and dry on the tongue, but fairly refreshing. However, it’s far too easy to over-brew or use water that is too hot, which results in an incredibly bitter and undrinkable tea. While nowhere near the quality of a good loose-leaf green tea, it’s an okay alternative when loose is not an option.
