Favorite Green Tea?


Quote  |  Reply
What's your favorite kind of bagged green tea?  Yogi, Bigelow, Celestial Seasonings, etc?

I like matcha green tea but I can't find it for sale anywhere!  I can get it if I go to dinner at Japanese restaurants but otherwise, I have no way of enjoying the fabulous flavor.  Help!

I hate green tea but only because it makes me sick, that being said my wife swears by Republic Of Tea
i like tazo green ginger right now, but here's a link to the one you like....you can buy it online!
Right now I have Tazo Zen.  I also really like Mighty Leaf Green Tea Tropical.
Bigelow is my favorite!
I just tried tazo zen today for the first time... it's pretty good, but I think I like Calm better.  It's chamomile tea... (not green & no caffeine)
For bagged green definitely Celestial Seasonings, the one they call 'authentic.' But really, if you like green tea you really have to try it loose. I recommend the Japan Sencha variety. It's a heavy leaf so you can just throw it in a cup and it will settle nicely at the bottom. 
Thank you all for your input!  Very much appreciated.  :)

I just realized that the last post here was years ago, but for anyone looking, you should be able to find matcha tea in most major cities, especially in either large Asian grocery stores or more organic, health-foody stores like Whole Foods, PCC Natural Markets, maybe even Trader Joe's.

Matcha is my new favorite, either plain hot or cold with soy or almond milk and ice. Otherwise I love rosehip tea, which is really popular in Eastern Europe, or other echinacea tea... good for colds :)

I LOVE green tea! I have it nearly everyday! When I brew my own I have Celestial Seasonings, I absolutely adore it :D  But when I'm lazy I get my fix the easy way with Lipton's Diet Green Tea.

i'm a tea snob. I don't think Snapple or Lipton sweetened bottled teas count as real green tea.

Ito En bottles, sencha shot cans, teabags, and loose sencha

Dr. Andrew Weil teabags(sencha with matcha)

any good geinmatcha(matcha with roasted brown rice teabags)

Taylors of Harrogate Jasmine Green is the absolute best though. Worth ordering online.

My favorite green tea:

Temple of Heaven- China Green Tea  Special Gunpower

It is a must try =)
