Pure Green Tea

It’s free at the office so that’s why I’ve been drinking it…

This tea is certainly nothing to write home about, it’s a standard Chinese green tea and nothing I would bother to keep for my personal stash.

I know this is a terrible thing to admit on Steepster, but my tea obsession seems to be winding down a bit. For one thing I’ve discovered I can drink coffee again in the mornings on some days because my heartburn issues have resolved themselves quite a lot due to decreased stress levels in my life over a few years ago. Why this is, I don’t know. Perhaps it’s because some annoying people who were stressing me out have been jettisoned from my life – lol :)

Also I still have way too much tea but that goes without saying. :)

Every Friday night I go over to my friends’ room to watch British drama (currently we’re 4/5 of the way through Parade’s End – SO GOOD). After this finishes I think I’m starting them on Doctor Who and they’re starting me on Game of Thrones. Although if I can convince them not to start that until I’ve read the books, well…

Caitlin offered me a “hot beverage” and so I went with this. It’s okay, more of a warm cup than anything, but it’s not something I particularly care for. It’s not bad, it’s better than some bagged teas, but meh.

I have had better green teas and I have had much worse. I had this bag for a while so it might not have been the freshest ever. It might be better if it was fresher. But it was nice to have in the evening.

Light, tasty, and smooth; not heavily green or vegetable-y.

I keep meaning to try more green tea, but shy away from spending lots of money on what feels to my black tea sensibilities like a weak, unsatisfying brew. So my green tea expedition started at the supermarket.

This is serviceable. It has a light taste, not very flavorful, and finishes with an astringency that irritates me more often than not. I can see drinking it if I’m more in the mood for water than tea but still need a little caffeine boost.

In the meantime, the search continues for a “gateway” green.

Brews: up to 4 at 5m apiece

Since im in a trip right now, the only tea i can take in the house im staying is twinings, a brand with which im used to, but of course not the same as my be loved green tea of vietnam or my turkish black tea at home. Anyways the cup fill me with a nice warm :) though the taste is good some how i had tried much better for pure green teas, this one loose flavor a little.

Tasty Green Tea — good for a quick cup. Nothing exquisite or anything.

Quite a good tea, which I have whenever I go to Bob Evans. It’s a little astringent for my taste, so I tone it down with a little Splenda, which makes it super-yummy for my taste.

I don’t believe I could call myself a fan of Twinings. I mean, tea is tea and I’ll drink it, and unfortunately a lot of restaurants serve this brand. To me, it tastes bland and boring.

Mild grassy taste – no intense flavors. Very clean tasting, yet unexciting.

Again, another light tea, but quite enjoyable. Mixed it with some honey and was a perfect mix to quell my irritated throat!

I don’t dislike green tea, but it’s not my favorite. I can appreciate a good cup when I’m invited or when I receive one as a gift, but I rarely invest myself. However, there are times when I want that clean, distinct grassiness, straight in warm water without no additives.

Today I had something slightly greasy for dinner, and wanted a cup of green tea to cleanse it out. Usually I go for Puerh or Oolong, but I didn’t have any on my cupboard. Instead I tried this complimentary tea bag I just got from my last Twinings order, and it does its job. Steeped for a minute and a half, light and just right for my taste.

Pretty good and refreshing. Be careful not to use boiling water, as the tea will aquire a bitter aftertaste if you do so. This tea really has a plain simple flavor that it is hard for someone to go wrong with it.

I like it, the flavor is really delicate and nice. The bad thing is that the flavor is not like the real green tea!

Miles ahead of Lipton, my previous Green Tea of “choice” (by which I mean it was what we had in the cupboard).

With a nice dose of honey and a good long steep, this is a delicious, affordable, and readily available standard!

Serviceable; I won’t weep if this is the only tea in my cupboard.

Ho-hum. Grassy and quite thin. A positive is no asparagus flavor, lol. Don’t care at all for vegetal tasting tea. OK I guess. Having a hard time finding enthusiasm for green teas so far. Gonna try some Harney & Sons green in the future to see if I like that better.

Had a cup of this one yesterday. Wanted something really neutral and herbal. This one too didn’t taste as herbal as i think it should. It felt bit artificial. Still drinkable but not a big fan.

there’s no messing with the classic. Simple, down-to-earth, honest to goodness sippin’ tea.

Steep for exactly 2min and enjoy
