Another Tuesday another tea from the sampler. This time Organic Citron Crisp Green Tea. Green tea is more delicate than black tea. According to the temperature chart on the sampler box, green tea is at it's best with the water temperature between 160 and 175 degrees F. and the tea steeped for 1 to 3 minutes. I prefer a strong cup of tea so steeped for the full 3 minutes.
The tea bag and the wrapper had a pleasantly strong citrus scent. The tea itself didn't have a scent to it and had an earthy taste. Adding a bit of honey didn't change the earthiness.
The tea wasn't horrible, but I'm not about to give up my usual English Breakfast or Earl Grey teas.
What about you, are you a fan of green tea or no?

Usually I dislike green tea, as it mostly tastes like an infusion of hay to me. *LOL*. I found tea bags with green tea and lemon at ALDi and I really like them, but my favorite stays Earl Grey. Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteMaybe hay was the earthy flavor I picked up on 😺
DeleteI like green tea but I don't like matcha tea. Matcha tastes like asparagus water. (And I like asparagus), and sometimes people confuse it for green tea. I have a green tea with pineapple tea right now that I really enjoy. Happy T day.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, there won't be a matcha tea in the box 😺

DeleteTea doesn’t really do anything for me, but I’m fascinated by the many options that people enjoy.
ReplyDeletebest… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Aren't there just as many different kinds of coffee?
DeleteI don't like green tea at all. Earl Grey with lemon when I do, rarely, drink tea.
ReplyDeleteI take my Earl Grey with a bit of milk/creamer and sweetener. Earl Grey with lemon sounds perfect iced for the Summer. I'll have to make a note to try that
DeleteI used to like the tea they served in Chinese restaurants, that's green tea isn't it?
ReplyDeleteBut somehow it was different. I had green tea with Midori liquor at a Japanese restaurant. It was quite good.
DeleteDon't hate it but i'm a black tea lady... I like a good chai tea too... I'll drink a green tea because i hear its good for me... lol Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteBlack teas are also good for you, minus milk/creamer and sweetener
DeleteFabulous to try different teas, I like green tea but more in the summer months as it's a bit lighter in taste than my usual black teas 😊. Wishing you a very Happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll give them another try in the Summer
DeleteI'm not a big fan of tea, green, black, or oolong. However, like you, if I must drink it, it has to be strong. Thanks for sharing another tea in your tea sampler with us for T this Tuesday, dear CJ.
ReplyDeleteIf it's not strong, it's just dirty water
DeleteNope, not a green tea or herbal tea fan. Give me my black tea, please. I love the Lady Grey and Earl Grey, even Lemon lift, and chai. :) Happy tea day.
ReplyDeleteI prefer Lady Grey's husband especially with vanilla
DeleteNot a fan of green tea. Even worse, atm I need a lot of milk in my teas...
ReplyDeleteThat's the way my auntie used to make the tea for me when I first started drinking tea at 10 years old. Such a happy memory. Thanks!
DeleteI have not found a green tea I like yet but I keep trying them like you did here. I probably need to get a sampler. Maybe I should also pay attention to time steeping too - lol. Happy T-day, CJ. Hugz
ReplyDeleteAccording to the tea directions on the sampler, temperature of the water needs to be between 160 - 175 oF and steeping time of 1 - 3 min.
DeleteMy favourite tea is just everyday breakfast tea ... but I do use an organic brand which I like :)
ReplyDeleteHappy T Day.
All the best Jan
That is my favorite blend, too.
