HANDPICK, Green Tea Loose Leaf (255g/9oz) +100 Cups | Non-GMO, 100% Pure Green Tea Leaves Sourced from Himalayas, India | Resealable Ziplock Pouch

This loose leaf tea is too fine for a tea infuser. About 10% of the tea falls through. It does taste good.

I drink a lot of tea every day and I truly enjoy both black and green tea. I’m not picky at all, but I do know what real tea tastes like. I wanted to like this one because the price and amount seemed great, but unfortunately it didn’t work for me. The color is there, but the flavor is extremely weak. It tastes more like lightly colored hot water than actual green tea. I even tried a double and triple amount of leaves — almost filling one third of the cup — just to get a slight, barely noticeable bitterness. That’s not what I expect from green tea. For comparison: with my usual Ahmad green tea, I can brew the same leaves four times — first, second, third, even fourth refill — and every cup still has taste, aroma, and that classic simple green tea flavor with no additives. With this product, I had to use almost half a cup of leaves just to feel anything. Maybe this flavor profile is normal for this specific variety, and I don’t want to offend the seller. But I ordered a big bag of Yorkshire black tea for only $7, and it’s perfect — strong, aromatic, and full of flavor. So I expected better here too. I rarely return anything and almost never write negative reviews, but this was disappointing. I would rather spend the money on another tea or even buy food for the stray cats I take care of. Sorry, but this product was not what I hoped for.

For people used to drinking green tea, this is different. It's different in taste and texture. Not at all similar to Japanese and Chinese green tea, but more inline with Vietnamese green tea. The variety of green tea is different and I'm sure the processing is unique to this Indian green tea. Just a personal observation. But for the price, it's well worth a try.

It’s green tea. If you forget about your tea it’ll likely smell a little fishy.

I think it taste good just brew at 175F per green tea temp. I have tried to brew the leaves twice and it seems to work. I just kept in the fridge overnight in container and used them the next day. I would not recommend keep them more than 1 day in the fridge and only 1 additional brew. I am very pleased. I also got the English Breakfast which is very good too.
