Recommendations For The Best Tasting Green Tea At The Supermarket

cuddlesmama — Tue, 14 Jan 2014 13:14:19 GMT

There are so many I don't want to buy a lot of them to try and not like them. It just doesn't have to be plain green tea it can have other flavors with it. Thats why it is so confusing. Any help would be appreciated.

For plain green tea I like Salada. I also like the purple antioxidants and red antioxidants Salada green teas.

I like the Tazo Zen green tea the best. It's smooth, taste good, and IMO doesn't need any sugar added to it. Good luck!

I just answered on the other thread about how to make the perfect cup of green tea. It isn't the brand; it's how you make it. Also, what flavors you, yourself prefer.

Lipton Blueberry Acai is one of my favorites, but I also love Harney's. (I don't care for Salada's black, and I never had their green.)

This is by far my favorite, too, but I do like a little sugar in it. It has the perfect amount of lemongrass and spearmint. I get the big tea bags and make it into pitchers of iced tea, too.

I am drinking 5-6 cups of green tea a day as per my naturopathic oncologist. It's Bigelow tea and I make it into ice tea but I add 1 or 2 bags of Celestial Seasonings Fruit Tea with it and it is delicious!! Not a fan of straight green tea but by adding a fruit tea to it, it turns out so good! Also, FYI, my dr said to let the green tea steep over night to get the very most antioxidants out of it. I don't use any sweetener in it either. I buy the green tea in bulk from Amazon and Bigelow had more tea for the money. .

Hands down, the best tasting, as well as containing the most superior levels of antioxidants, esp. EGCG, is "Good Earth Super Green Tea", because it contains matcha, sencha and has orange flavor. Used to find this flavor at almost any grocery store that carried Good Earth brand, but as of 2 yrs. ago can only find it at Lucky's Super Market here on the west coast. Whole Foods used to carry it, but don't know if they still do.

Better do some more research, esp. if dealing with oncology. Teas, even green, have been tested for some very serious contaminants. Also the bags. Would list health web-sites here, and more brand names about that, but suspect they wouldn't let the info be printed in this response. Also it's the water that's so impt. Should be totally purified! Easier to get more nutritional content other ways than taking up so much liquid just with commercial teas. I also am searching for new kinds, and using nutri-bullet.

I like Salada and Tazo Zen as well...I only drink decaf coffee or tea and both of these fit the caffeine free bill nicely!))

Uncle Lee's Tea 100%organic green tea from Walmart, but I agree the taste is all in the brewing. Never boil the water, just bring it to a boil and let it steep for no more than 3 minutes. You could also infuse the green tea in cold water over night and warm it up if you don't like it cold.

I also like Tazo Zen. You cannot go wrong with any of the Tazo teas.

I like Genmai-cha which is a green tea with roasted brown rice. it has a rich nutty flavor. I have found it at Cost Plus World Market and at a local Japanese store.

It seems most tea producers have jumped on the Green Tea band wagon. I have enjoyed Tazo teas, but if you want a true green tea, you should seek out an Asian market. I found one that was superb before green teas became the "thing". It is called Ji Jin Chrysanthemum Green Tea and I have only found it in Asian markets. If you don't have Asian markets, you can find some online, but for the run of the mill grocery store brands, Tazo is a good choice.

Bigelow!!!!! Esp the bigelow Green Tea Constant Comment (they have plain green tea AND many flavored green teas. See their website and the story on the Constant Comment flavor (also comes in black tea and decaf). It is orange-y and clove-y and tastes like Christmas! Great tea all around.

Good advice. I'm done with all my treatments and as a matter of fact, today is my 1 year anniversary of my last radiation treatment!!!!I think if anyone is going thru treatment they should ALWAYS ask their medical team before taking anything.
