Daily Green Tea The People's Green Tea

So they actually had tea at the day long meditation retreat, I got to choose between this and a few herbals as well as sneaking off to the coffee shop down the street to have an almond cookie tea. :)

This stuff is okay, but nothing to really write home about. It’s kind of mild and vegetal on its’ own I also had it mixed with some mint tea and the combination of the two was really good.

My teachers were great today and I really learned a lot from this daylong. It feels so good to be getting back to my Buddhism stuff since the person who just exited my life was not very supportive of me/it and thought it was stupid. Whatever, I feel happy and JOYFUL and doing great on my own!!!!

After my matcha disaster, I needed something simple. Just dropped this in 6oz of water heated for 2 min. Pretty good for a bagged Chinese green. Very sweet, slightly grassy. Just what I need.

It might just be where I had this, but man, I would not drink this every day. Meh verging on the border of blech.

Magazine sample. This is a pretty standard cup of green tea. It is pretty good. Although it tastes pretty similar to Celestial Seasonings Green tea and that one is cheaper so if given the choice I would probably go with the Celestial Seasonings. But I’m not going to say no to a free cup of tea!

SURPRISINGLY!!!, I really enjoyed this tea. I am not a big fan of this brand now that I have tried many others, but this tea I did like.

Aroma: The typical green tea characteristics. A little floral, a little sweet [not cloyingly, but the kind you would expect from a sweet flower rather than cane sugar] and surprisingly, not very astringent or pungent. A light green fragrance/aroma.

Taste: Same as aroma. For a green, this tea is a little floral, a little sweet with the tiniest bit of brightness [NOT astringency, but brightness]…a nicety on the palate. Enjoyable.

Aftertaste: Not much to speak of. It dances across the taste buds with a floral sweetness, a brightness [no astringency] and a slight vegetal accent. Nice and pleasant.

I would recommend this tea for green tea lovers. I am not a big fan of Chinese green teas [except for Jasmine green teas], I am more of a Japanese green tea lover but I do really enjoy this tea a lot!

One of my bridesmaids got the traveler’s tin of this (and the blueberry green) to put in our honeymoon breakfast basket.
I had some again this morning with just a bit of sugar, and it was pretty decent, but had a pungent grassy/metallic taste along with the sweet and savory. I think I prefer Uncle Lee’s.

Not bad for a bagged tea. It was a bit weak for me though, I like strong green tea.

For a green tea, this is really solid. This tea is extremely consistent, and you can expect the exact same experience again and again. The tea is also rather good, with only a hint of vegetation, and it holds it’s taste for several infusions.

The only downside is that it is the exact same experience. There is no variation, no unexpected flavors, no suspense. The hardiness of this tea makes it virtually impossible to

At $10 for 50 tea bags, I thought this was tepid. There are 500 better green teas (out there) than this one. I drank all 50 bags and said “this is ok but not anything to holler about”. I give it a dismal low score because the flavor of “the leaf” did not impress me. Also, it doesn’t have the energy of a good green. At $10, you could buy 80 bags of a better (tea bag) green.

Overall a solid green tea, although it seems to be too finely ground. I hope they’re not re purposing matcha grounds.

Although I tried this many times, People’s Green was too grassy for me (as in I went to my yard & mowed some for tea). I have a couple of traveler’s tins of this and when stuck away from home and mistakenly taking only these, haven’t been able to find the taste that I can enjoy in this tea.
I’ll try it with some of my stronger teas to see if it can be moderated; otherwise it’s going in my swap pile. #tea

a nice little green tea; sometimes I’ll mix it with one of this brand’s other teas if I want something a bit stronger

Not bad for bagged green tea. I used it to make a southern style iced tea, which turned out pretty good. Of course, that may have had something to do with the mass quantities of sugar, but a win is a win!

As with most bagged green tea, this leaves me unimpressed. However, I admit that this might be because I only drink this tea when I’m not at home (such as at work), meaning I have very little control over brewing temperature (it’s usually at boiling). It’s not a bad tea, however.
