Zen

This was my favorite tea for years. Every morning I would sip on this and it would make things right in the world. Tazo recently changed their packaging of this product…it looks sweet! However, after brewing a bag in the new packages I discovered that not only has Tazo replaced the packaging but it changed the blend. Too much lemongrass…it’s nasty! I hope Tazo changes back soon…

My staple tea bag. I bring it with me so that I always have tea around.

For a commercially sold, bagged tea I really like this. The lemongrass and spearmint are balanced very nicely. I always have some of this around the house.

I don’t typically like straight green tea(I’m really more of a black tea person), so Tazo’s Zen is a really great green blend for me. There’s not much of a green tea taste, you get a lot more lemongrass and spearmint. I like mine with a teaspoon of creamed honey and some coconut milk, really good. I would love to find something similar loose leaf if anyone has any suggestions?

I like the green/spearmint/lemongrass combination; this is a good tea in sachets or full-leaf but tends to be weak in bags.

I enjoy this tea quite a bit. It is always a quick grab in the summer. I tend to ignore it a bit throughout the winter as it truly cools me down with all of the mint flavor. If you don’t like mint, definitely move on from this tea. However, if you are like me and need a nice, cool tea to beat the heat, then this is a perfect try.

So cheerful and soothing, it makes me happy when I make it at work. Tastes best for me when it’s quite hot, it gets less enjoyable as it cools.

It’s better without sugar. I love the spearmint, it’s not as prominent as other teas. It doesn’t taste that much like other green teas I’ve tasted, which isn’t necessarily a good or bad thing.

Zen… I guess one of the Tazo teas that will get a higher rating. This was an ok green tea with lemongrass in it. It was somewhat soothing, but nowhere near the soothing that I usually like. I might try it again if I go to starbucks… but I am not entirely sure. Maybe it deserves a second chance.

A nice blend of several different flavors. I let this tea steep for about 3 or 4 minutes and upon first sip found that the mint flavor dominates with hints of lemongrass in the background. Notes of green tea finish off the taste. A calm, relaxing cup. Not something I’d reach for often, but I’d bet it’d be nice to sip on during a cold.

A light but flavorful and refreshing green tea! Unfortunately I’m not really a fan of mint in teas, but this one wasn’t too bad. Got it at Starbucks one day when I was trying to get a ton of work done and it did it’s job.

Love a good green tea with some cream and sugar

I really enjoy the flavor combination. To me, the lemongrass is the most powerful flavor, with the mint behind that and the green tea itself being hardly noticeable. It’s very important that you do not over-steep this though. It is a delicate flavor. I prefer it room temperature or iced.

Minty and green. Very refreshing.

Very refreshing! I like how delicate the green tea is with the spearmint and lemongrass. I like this iced…and I let it steep (I like bold tea). I drank it plain over ice and it was very good, the lemongrass pops a little bit more when you let it steep.

Haven’t tried it hot yet but after steeping I immediately poured it over iced it was heavenly! It reminds me a bit of peppermint tea (because of the spearmint leaves) and does have that cooling affect.

very light and not as strong a nice calm tea , great with agave/Honey

I love all Tazo teas. Zen is a really nice green tea. As far as green Tazo teas go, I do prefer the Lotus kind, but this one is really calm and nice too. Definitely go for a longer steep time, as it’s not very good when it’s weak. Great with milk and sugar or honey, and also good without anything added.

I love it. I never thought lemongrass and mint would be good together, but hot damn. Especially great when my stomach is being all blargh.

So, so green tea. The lemongrass makes it a tad better than most bagged green teas.
