Bigelow Green Tea with Mint has a good flavor. I drink mostly black teas, followed in frequency by some herbal blends, but not much green tea. When I do grab the occasional green tea bag, though, I prefer this Green Tea with Mint variety over a straight green tea.

Green Tea with Mint doesn't add any other flavors. The package lists only green tea and mint leaves as ingredients. The mint's presence is quite strong, even sharp, when I give a freshly opened tea bag the deep sniff test (my favorite moment with tea!) before placing it in the cup. Once it is steeped, though, the mint is less pronounced, and I think the mint flavor is less strong than in Bigelow's Plantation Mint black tea. In fact, in the aroma of the steeped tea, the mint is not particularly noticeable--the most noticeable scent to me once the tea is steeped is one very similar to that of fresh grass cuttings, and I mean that in a good way. The smell is pleasant.

For a mint tea, I prefer the Bigelow Plantation Mint, but then, I mostly prefer black teas. If you like green teas, Bigelow Green Tea with Mint is a good variety.

I always drink tea straight--no sugar, no honey, no lemon, no milk! So my reviews are my opinions of the straight tea flavor, not how it interacts with another agent. I drink Bigelow tea almost exclusively, because it's readily available, modestly priced, and has lots of varieties that are all of decent quality. If I give a Bigelow flavor less stars, it reflects only my taste preference, and is not a statement of low product quality.

I had been drinking Bigelow Plantation Mint Tea forever and did not like the taste of Green Tea. I had heard the benefits of green tea but wasn't willing to sacrifice taste. When Bigelow came out with Green Tea with Mint I tried it and the flavor was a bit milder than what I was used to but it was great. I have been hooked on it since. If you love mint flavor and want a healthier alternative to black tea this is the one!!!

I LOVE this stuff. Always drink my tea straight.

Great tea flavor and the mint gives it a crisp, clean finish (the mint is alot heavier on the smell when you open the pouch than when you actually drink the finished product).
If you like green tea, and mint tea, this is a great vessel.

I typically go through 4-5 bags a day and I like to mix-and-match with other flavors (Mango being my go-to).

I tend to eat heavy breakfast and lunches that leave quite the mark on my breath. One cup of this and my mouth feels instantly-cleansed.

Absolutely nothing bad to say about this. Never had a problem with teeth stains or any aftertaste.

I would have never thought this would be a good combination but after having a chilled "green tea sweetened with mint and honey" I was on the hunt for the perfect green tea with mint combination. I work in a coffee and tea shop and none of the teas we sell came close to what I was looking for. I found this tea at my grocery store and purchased it on a whim to try it out because it was inexpensive. It is now my favorite tea. I have gone through it so fast and will probably buy this bulk package. It is even better sweetened with some honey!

I've tried several different types of Bigelow tea and like this one. The only thing I would change is add more mint, i either can't taste mint well or they didn't want to overpower the green tea with mint. It's delicious though!

The Bigelow Green Tea with Mint is my everyday tea. The tea is light, slightly sweet, and does not seem to get bitter if you leave the bag in a bit too long.

Definitely one of my favorite teas. All Bigelo teas are high quality and the green mint is light and refreshing either hot or iced. No sweetener needed.

If you are looking for a lightly flavored green tea with mint, then this is the product. It is great for the days I want a mild flavored tea.

I never knew what real, good green tea tasted like until I bought loose leaf Gunpowder Green in bulk at a Middle Eastern market. Pre-bagged green tea is awful, tastes like dirty water, and does green tea no justice. This stuff is no exception. I like Bigelow for black teas and their flavored teas, but this is just bad green tea. The mint flavor just makes it worse. Please do yourself a favor and buy some bulk green tea--I recommend Davidson's Organic Gunpowder Green, which is $12 a pound (a bargain!!!). I buy it off Amazon, and it's an even better deal than I can get at my local market.
