A rich blend of Green Gunpowder teas from the Orient with a clear fragrance liquor.

As customers increasingly look to lead healthier lifestyles, awareness and consumption of Green Tea is growing. This is mainly due to the fact that Green Tea is a natural source of antioxidants. In addition to tea bags, you can also enjoy your green tea in loose form.

For the price, it gets the job done when I don’t want a “flavored” green tea. Very mellow flavor.

Not an exceptionally delicious tea, but the price is right and the taste is decent. It also serves me well when I want to experiment with flavorings, and I find that some cloves, cardamom, and orange zest spruce it up nicely.

Honestly, being a lover of lightish teas, I enjoy this tea. It’s really light! I don’t really drink any green teas, but I could totally get into this!

Twinings comes through for me again.

The tea can be strong or delicate depending on how long you steep it. The taste is slightly grassy with nice smokey undertones. The aftertaste is smokey, but not enough to be overwhelming.

I recommend this tea. :)

Ok green tea, decent but unremarkable. Now mix it with an equal part of Twinings loose leaf Darjeeling and you get an interesting and tasty cup.

Too weak for my tastes – better after along infusion.
Good served cold or iced.

This is a nice gunpowder green tea. It’s inexpensive and tasty. Not as good as the specialty tea shop stuff, but it’ll do nicely in a pinch.
