Hand Picked in the misty mountains of Zhejiang Province in China, this tea embodies the classic flavor of a fine green tea.
China Green Tips is fresh and lively tea with a light, creamy, vegetative taste balanced with lingering sweet, smooth finish.
Flavor profile: “grassy, vegetative, sweet, ricey.”
Ingredients: Blend of Mao Feng green teas.
Not a fan of it without Starbucks’ Classic Syrup. Honey won’t cut the bitterness for me, but the syrup makes it taste delicious :)
leaves a very wierd after taste anytime I drank this.
Yet another green tea that is taking up real estate in my cupboard…bitter, dry, lifeless.
Decent green tea, but a little simple flavor-wise
This has a strong flavor and tastes more stale than fresh.
I drink a lot of Chinese green teas and consider this the only Tazo tea worth ordering. Starbucks is not a good place for a cup of tea
Either they gave me really old tea or this one really tastes spoiled!
Not my favorite, but I think that’s because I’m not fond of the rice-y touch to it.
Taste Like Boiled Spinach
This was a really disappointing flavor. I don’t know what I expected, but this definitely wasn’t it. Part of the probably might have been that it steeped too long, because I had to walk back from Starbucks. But this wasn’t a problem I’d had with Tazo teas before. Not sure I’ll try this tea again.
I didn’t like this one too much when I first tasted it. After drinking more and more of this, I think I’ve adjusted to its taste, but its still far from being my favorite as it has that “ricey” taste which might even be called earthy(not sure about this).
Very earthy, grass-like taste. Pretty bland green tea; nothing really special. Standard green tea flavor by any means.
YAY LOOSE LEAF! Starbucks finally got smart and changed over to whole leaf teas from Tazo. Makes all the difference! China Green Tips is by far one of the most classic green teas I’ve tasted. Very bold grassy taste that says “I’m a green tea!”. Perfect straight. Put down that creamer & sugar!
I wasn’t satisfied by this tea. If you’re a fan of a heavily earthy tea/tips, you may like it, as I have some associates how are fond of this tea as far as green tips go. I found it really difficult to enjoy, and if you expect a more standard green, you might find it so too.
Somewhat boring tea. It was very “green” tasting, and not very bitter.
Mellow, Light, Sweet…not much else. It’s just OK
Definitely better than Lipton green tea but still… you could do a lot better.
It’s decent to drink.
Day middle. Me need wake up. Work piles to do. … Snap me out of it, green tea!
Smooth and nice; a little less “green-beany” tasting (to borrow a well-chosen phrase from another user) than many straight green teas.
