Anyone Have A Favorite Green Tea?

I am always hearing how green tea is so good for you, but the ones I have tried have been awful! Is there any green teas that taste good? Thanks

Bigelow decaffeinated green tea with lemon.  I've been drinking that for years.

Green tea is just dried leaves.  So a much softer "greener"taste.

If I have green tea I go for JUST the tea NO added flavours, No lemon or mint or jasmine.... "Blech".  It is what it is and it's NOT Black tea.

I drink this green tea with roasted rice, it has a nutty roasted rice flavor perfectly combined with green tea it's especially good to drink after a large meal helps with digestion as well, it's my favorite green tea.

I don't like the overly bitter taste of some green teas; but, I have found the brand Allegro to have a very smooth flavor.

Don't forget that water for green tea should not reach a boil. And then only steep for 1-3 minutes.Otherwise, greens can taste bitter.

 

Republic of Tea has great-tasting greens, as well as de-cafs. Also, Harney.

Another vote for Bigelow and I also don't mind Tazo's Matcha Mate Grapefruit but it's very difficult for me to find in my area. 

 

In addition to the lemon green tea, Bigelow also makes an Elderberry version which is my current go to in the morning. I find both in my local supermarkets.
