After trying about 30 different brands of Green Tea, I have found this to be the best tasting. This Green Tea is a blend of Japanese Green Teas, which are more robust and flavourful than typical Chinese Greens. The only Green Tea I've tasted that compares is straight Yama Moto Yama from Japan. I believe Yama Moto Yama is also in the Stash blend.

As far as Green Teas go, this blend is among the naturally sweetest and has no bitterness... unless you overcook it. The trick I have found to getting the best flavour from Green Teas is not using too high a temperature to steep it. Steep at a lower temp (170F-180F) for a longer time which will result in a tea that is actually green in colour, not brown or gold. Also, this tea tastes best as is, don't put any sweeteners in it like sugar or honey. If you are addicted to sugar, ween yourself off of it and enjoy the great flavour of this premier Green Tea.

Of course, Green Tea is incredibly healthy, rich in anti-oxidants and relaxing theanine, is not harmfully acidic like coffee and there is also one quarter the amount of caffiene than in coffee - easier to brew too!

The price is quite reasonable considering the quality of tea you are getting. Better yet, buy it in bulk for great savings.

If you want to be even healthier, Stash also sells their Premium Green Tea in organic form for only a few more pennies per bag.

Enjoy and be healthy!

Since I drink between eight and ten cups of green tea a day, I am very fussy about the taste. It must be pure green tea, I don't care for added flavors. I LOVE this tea. Recently, I ordered green tea in a restaurant and was served Bigelow, which is a good brand. I put the Bigelow tea bag in the cup of hot water and then took a Stash green tea bag out of my purse and put it into the glass decanter of hot water. This was a good comparison...the Bigelow tea was brownish in color, the Stash tea a beautiful, clear GREEN. My husband commented, "that is why it is called green tea!"

We've been "product testing" a variety of green teas in our office. So far the Stash green has been the most favorably received, just ahead of the Yamamoto-yama "Sushi Bar" tea. Stash won out due to the fact that it's got a distinctive green tea "taste" and seems resistant to bitterness from oversteeping. "Sushi Bar"-like some others-tended to be a little weak. Other rejected greens veered to the other end of the spectrum were overly bitter if you so much as looked at them wrong.

As described, it is slightly sweet and nutty. The description also states that this green tea is imported from Brazil. That might be a bit off-putting at first. However, it's idiot-proof and, like the title alludes to, this is teabag tea and for that, the Stash is very good stuff.

Before trying this tea I'd been drinking the packets my husband brought home from Japan. The stash had the same nutty flavor of the good japanese green tea but the bags were fragile and leaked tea leaf into the cup. Just a personal pet peeve. I bought the Stash green tea based on a review I read in Men's Health magazine that rated Stash as having the highest level of anti oxidents (and Caffeine) in those tested.

This is a good product. But I thought it was not as smooth as Tzao (sp?) or even Bigelow Organic Green Tea (from Sam's Club). The Bigelow is also much less expensive (175 bags for about $7.00). I've had better tea than all of these in Asia, but don't know the brand names.

Also, if you go to China or Japan, green tea is usually not green. It varies from dark brown to pale green, including many shades of amber depending on growing conditions, processing and harvesting time.

The tea tastes great and lasts a long time with 120 bags. I couldn't even find a value like this at wal-mart.

I like this better than the Bigelow that I was drinking before and the price is really good. This is actually the first tea of any kind that I've been able to drink without adding artificial sweetener or honey. It has a nice subtle flavor and, on a wholly superficial note, the beautiful green individual packages look lovely in a glass container on the counter.

I am very pleased with the Stash tea I purchased. It was a VERY good deal & the quality is excellent

One of the best invidually bagged green teas. I am picky but I enjoy this tea.

I have read many places that STASH has the highest amounts of antioxidants found in green tea. It is a little pricier than some other brands, but the taste is good, so it is worth it.
