| They all taste like grass to me, but I know they’re healthy. Do you have a favorite w/ out unnatural flavorings? |

Allegro Northwest Minty Green from whole foods

| I hate anything with mint in it. Jasmine is my favorite kind of green tea. I usually go to independent local tea shops to buy. Everyone usually has a jasmine. |
| TJ Organic Moroccan Green Tea is my favorite. I don’t steep my teas very long though. |
| Candy cane lane green tea. Celestial seasonings has one. It’s minty and not too earthy. No clue how much of the green tea properties it truly has. |
| My favorite is toasted brown rice green tea, called hyeonminokcha in Korean or genmaicha in Japanese. It has a toasty warm flavor from the brown rice. I buy it in bulk on Amazon, just look for “genmaicha”. |
Is this the same thing as Houjicha? I have that, it’s roasted Japanese tea. I like it but I’m not sure if it’s green tea or not. |
|
Genmaicha and Hojicha are not the same. Hojicha is roasted green tea leaves.
Look for loose leaf organic Japanese sencha. The good stuff doesn’t come in teabags. |
PP. Houjicha is green tea but it’s been roasted. If you like it, keep with it! It might not have as many flavonoids and what not due the roasting process, but it lacks that grassy flavor that you don’t care for so much. |
Thanks, to clarify I (pp) am not the OP. I dislike the minty green as others suggested, I’d rather just taste tea. I usually buy Tazo green or something from HMart. I prefer black tea or an herbal. |
| Does anyone have suggestions for floral green teas? I don’t like the minty ones or the toasted rice ones. |
| If they taste like grass/bitter, you were using water that is too hot and steeping for too long. You don’t steep as hot or long as black tea. |

This is a mix tea, mostly black but with jasmine green tea. I found it on discount bin in HT after Xmas and tried it and it is my favorite tea to date. Just a suggestion if you dont like green tea by itself. |

Harney & Sons green hot cinnamon spice https://www.harney.com/products/green-hot-cinnamon-spice
It does contain artificial cinnamon flavor in addition to cinnamon, but the way that artificial cinnamon flavor is produced is not unhealthy and contains nothing that you wouldn't get from cinnamon, it is really just concentrated. Cinnamon has super health benefits, including that studies show it boosts metabolism in many subjects. I drink this tea every morning - it's SO delicious! Also available in black tea version and in decaffeinated version. Harney & Sons is overall a fantastic quality tea proprieter, based in the USA. |

Try Bigelow Green Tea Classic. I find it at Wegman’s. It comes in a box of 20 bags and each bag is individually wrapped.
I usually add a little honey and a squeeze of lemon. |
