I am an avid tea drinker and so I was at a bit of a loss when I became pregnant. I wanted to cut caffeinated tea out of my diet during the pregnancy but soon found that meant my choices were limited to herbals and a small handful of decaf black teas, which were mostly flavored. One day I came across this one at the grocery store and decided to give it a try.

I've long enjoyed Stash teas for their quality, which is pretty incomparable. I generally prefer loose teas to bagged but Stash is one of those rare teas whose flavor isn't compromised by the bag. I found this to be the case with this particular tea. It's not a very complex flavor, which is why I wouldn't give it a full five stars. However, it is very mild and has a nice, subtle nutty flavor. It's definitely a good tea for those who are new to greens as when it's brewed appropriately it has none of the bitterness or strong grassy flavor that can sometimes come through in greens. It's an easy drinking tea and I sip it throughout the day, to the point where I drink around three oversized mugs of it a day. In light of this, I now order it by the 6-pack from Amazon in order to have a continuous supply.

As someone who loves Japanese-style green tea, I highly recommend Stash's regular green tea. That's why I ordered their green decaf. However, this decaf does not have the same qualities as their regular green tea. The tea is not green in color -- it is more of a brownish color -- and it doesn't have that fresh "green" taste I enjoy with their caffeinated version. Maybe green tea just doesn't keep its color or flavor when it is decaffeinated. It's not too bad though, and I'll have to keep trying it to see if it grows on me. I actually have not found the perfect green decaf yet.

PS: After a long period of thinking I didn't like it, then going back to try it again, it may not be as bad as I first thought. Most green decafs disappoint, so don't consider any green decafs as having true green tea flavor. Stash's isn't objectionable like some, it's just bland. It's a bit better than most green decafs, but not nearly as good as good Japanese caffeinated green tea. For true green tea taste, try a Japanese Sencha or Macha caffeinated tea, like Kirkland's Signature Macha or Yamamotoyama teas. I very much DISlike the Stash Organic Premium Decaf Green however, and urge you not to buy it. I have a concern about the levels of fluoride in green teas (especially Chinese teas, so I've read), but I suppose if consumed in moderation, like everything else, the risks shouldn't be of great concern, and the benefits probably outweigh them.

This is a wonderful tasting green tea that has, in my opinion, the perfect amount of bitterness for a great green tea taste. I can't have caffeine, but being a green tea lover I give this product two thumbs up!

I bought this on Amazon becuase it disappeared from real stores. In comparison with the tea that was available in regular stores, this one has a sour off-taste, presumably, due to its oldness.

This is a great green tea. It has a good clean flavor and no grittiness. I couldn't truly appreciate how good this tea was until I tried a different brand and found the other one to be terrible. I can usually get two good cups of tea from one bag. I highly recommend this and it's the only one I'll ever buy!

I have begged all of the local grocery stores to stock Stash Decaffeinated Green Tea and none of them would. So, I had to get my mother who lives 4 hours away to purchase it from her local store and ship it to me. Then I found that Amazon had it. The price is better and I was told I would receive it in 7 days. I received the package in 3 days. I will order my tea from Amazon from now on. Thanks, Amazon!

Stash is just the best tea. Not too strong or bitter, just right. My favorite tea.

Enjoy the taste of the tea, however I think it is quite pricey. May buy a cheaper brand next time.
