This product page lists as ingredients: Decaffinated Green Tea, Lemongrass, Natural Flavors.

But they have failed at listing ALL of the ingredients, which are the above AND rose petals, AND peppermint.

Maybe not an issue to some (or most?) but was for me. Peppermint in my tea is unacceptable and is an important ingredient that should be disclosed. Shame on you Good Earth. Because of this, I got a refund from Amazon and will never buy another one of your products online (maybe I'll try you out after I'm able to physically see the box and ingredients myself in a brick & mortar store, but for now you are a big FAIL.)

I asked the Amazon rep to please alert Good Earth of this oversight, so if you're reading this and see that they've added the rose petals and peppermint to their list of ingredients, it was done after my call and this review :)

I have been drinking Good Earth Decaf Green Tea for many years and it is my favorite tea. This tea is not purely green tea leaves - it also contains lemongrass and other flavors. It is flavorful but mild. Ingredients: Decaffeinated Green Tea, Lemongrass, Natural Flavors (Contains Soy Lecithin), Rose Petals and Peppermint.

Be aware that the Good Earth Decaf Green Tea does not have the more delicate flavor as real Japanese green tea (and not a roasted flavor like Genmai), but it is great as an everyday tea. If you are expecting green tea like in Japanese restaurants, this is not it - if you want that, get high quality loose tea leaves and brew it with the correct temperature water in a teapot. (Although maybe the Good Earth green tea would taste more similar to Japanese green tea if brewed like Japanese green tea should be - read on...)

I often leave my tea bag steeping for a long time (I know, not recommended for green tea, but it likely does extract more of the beneficial antioxidants), up to 30 min, and this tea does not get bitter. It also does not get bitter if the tea sits around before drinking. One Good Earth tea bag works fine for my large 16 oz mug. I have found that other brands of tea can be weak and not flavorful if using only one bag for 16 oz water.

I also like that this tea is decaf since even the smaller amount of caffeine in green tea affects me. Decaf green teas are somewhat hard to find. This company uses a CO2 process for decaffeination, preferable to a solvent extraction process.

Note that this product is available in 18-count and 25-count boxes. My local grocery store has stopped carrying the 25-count and only stocks the 18-count. I like that Amazon carries the 25-count boxes since I go through a lot of this tea! It is also a better deal at Amazon.

I have tried many other brands of green tea (decaf and regular) over the years and keep coming back to Good Earth brand. Highly recommended.

I've been buying this tea for years it WAS a great tasting tea,But no longer is.I'm now looking for a replacement.

This has been my all time favorite decaf green tea. Love the lemon grass and very subtle sweet smell and flavor.
I only recently discovered how great it is to buy via Amazon! I bought bulk pacakged tea boxes this past summer and recently ran out. I noticed different packaging and assumed that it was still my very favorite tea. NO NO NO they changed the recipe and the flavor lacks everything I used to love. I keep sniffing my hot mug looking for that aroma I love.
BIG BUMMER as I have 6 boxes I will have to use, but it will no longer be my first choice when I want a yummy cup of tea. BRING BACK THE OLD RECIPE!!!!!

I drink this green tea blend almost daily. I rank it high among my favorites. Probably the only negative is the packaging: Each tea bag "tag" has quotes from various individuals. These are mostly inane blatherings not worth reading. I usually pitch this portion of the product in the compost pile.

This tea has a really great taste even if you brew it for longer than you supposed to. I would recommended it to a tea lover.

I have essentially stopped drinking any other tea. Everyone I've introduced to this loves it. I thought the lemongrass would be strange, but it's delicious. Very smooth, no bitterness at all. If you're looking for something with an edge, this isn't it.

This was a wonderful find! Not easily found in our community. The tea has a great peach-like flavor (in my opinion). Just love it!

I tried a lot of different green teas. This tea has very soft taste and lemongrass gives it very interesting aftertaste. I also like the fact that this is decaf tea, so you can drink it as much as you can (and I drink it every 2-3 hours).

We have tried several green teas, but this is our absolute favorite. The lemongrass addition is heavenly. Highly recommend for flavor and price.
