Green Tea

I had the same thing too, i drank grocery store brand bagged green tea and it was lawn clippingly bitter taste. Once I followed temperature suggestions on good loose leaf green = amazing!

Best green I had recently was Butiki’s Dragon Feelers. http://www.butikiteas.com/

ESP emporium has a TON of flavored greens – lots of ones on sale too.

52 Teas has some greens pop up. Graveyard and Sea breeze are 2 greens in stock right now.

Also, the persimmon tree has a nice collection of greens, and cheap sample prices of $1.25 http://www.persimmontreetea.com/green-tea.html I recommend the green caramel.

(not sure if these places take gift cards)

Try sTEAp Shop’s green teas they have added flavors and are a great way to start drinking green tea. http://www.steapshoppe.com/green-tea.html
If you follow us on facebook we will be sending out free tea for virtual tea tastings starting this weekend on a first come first serve basis.

While Adagio has a huge selection, I find that their teas can be very hit or miss to the point that I don’t get much from them anymore. But for price and starting out this is usually a good place to start.

As for excellent flavored teas I would suggest Harney and Sons. H&S does have unflavored teas but their flavored ones are fantastic.

For unflavored greens I would suggest Teavivre for excellent quality without costing an arm and a leg. If you go with the cheaper shipping option just know that it can take up to a month for your package to arrive.

If you want excellent quality green teas but are more expensive, then Verdant Tea is the way to go.

If you’re interested in Japanese green teas then I would suggest Den’s Teas.

I use credit when I order so I can’t say if these companies accept gift cards or not.

Amanda, I loooooooove The English Tea Store website! lol. I could spend hours on that site, happily. There is so much there I would love to get, particularily the food! Have not ordered there yet, the only site so far that I have ordered from is 52Teas, (order came just today!) But havn’t tried them out the tea yet.
