Lotus from Tazo

Lotus

Green Tea by Tazo

A delightfully subtle green tea with the delicate taste and aroma of lotus flower essence. This surprisingly full-flavored yet delicately floral blend is clean and light-bodied, with an aroma reminiscent of freesia.

Not Bad. Light and mellow and floral in taste.

Decaffinated teas usually reflect that in their taste- it’s to this tea’s credit that it doesn’t taste quite as decaffinated as some others. Yes, I can still taste that it’s decaffinated, but not as much as most others. That said, this green tea has lotus scenting, and is pretty darn well done for a teabag. The lotus notes aren’t too strong, so I can still taste the green tea, as well as a soft lotus flavor. If Tazo made this in a full-throttle version I’d definitely buy it. In it’s current form, it’s drinkable, which is far more than I say about most decaf teas.

Mabe because of how flower like I’t is. But I did not care for this one. I got I’t in the tazo multi pack of teas.

Not typically a green tea fan, it lacks the caffeine. However, I must say I enjoy this tea and its flavor. I am a big Tazo fan, so maybe that is clouding my true perception of it, but it is a very simple and refreshing flavor.

I love that this is decaf. I had it for the first time on my honeymoon at breakfast, so that’s what it always reminds me of.

Stronger than the average decaf tea, but delicious. Floral and a touch of bitterness make this tea very smooth and soothing.

I added a dash of sugar for my sweet tooth, but this is certainly not required.

Lotus is a great decaf green tea. Normally I would go for Tazo’s Zen, but having to drink decaf lately has left me looking for other options. Lotus is more flowery than Zen, but it still packs a nice little punch.

I think if you let it steep awhile it really brings out the flavor of this tea. I usually just leave the teabag in the mug, and by the time I’m finished it’s a little stronger, especially the last few sips.

Drank this the past weekend while camping. Very good.

One of my favorite decaf teas, as long as I don’t get distracted and let it steep too long (it seems perfect at two minutes).

I liked this one, it was very mild, but had a pleasant taste and smell. I guess I usually prefer my teas a little stronger. Maybe I’ll let it steep more next time.
