Tazo Zen Tea Reviews
Customer Rating:
Summary: Drink it every night
Comment: After first experiencing this tea from across a table in NYC, I had to taste it myself. The aroma starts the relaxation process before the first sip. I am NOT a green tea drinker in general, as I find them to be somewhat tasteless. But this tea relaxes and refreshes with it's subtle mint and lemon flavor. If you don't experience the flavor, you aren't steeping the bag long enough. I find it to be the perfect every night tea just before bed. I only wish I could purchase it in larger quantity.

Summary: Best green tea for someone who doesn't like green tea!
Comment: I hate the taste of green tea, but want the health benefits. Celestial Seasonings makes a decent mint green tea, but this Tazo one is far superior. You can't even tell that it's green -- it just tastes like really good, minty herbal tea.

Summary: Very good for the price!
Comment: I find the spearmint in this tea to be very refreshing mixed with the green tea. Not the best, but certainly a good tea for those on a budget. I drink this daily, and have some better, full-leaf green teas on special occasions. Good, expensive brands of green tea are: Ineeka and Two Leaves and a Bud.

Summary: not so good..
Comment: I know people are going to rate my review not helpful but I can't help it... I think this tea is one of the worst I ever tasted. I grew up in a place where everyone enjoyed green tea, so this flavored green tea thing tastes just horrible to me. At Starbucks they serve this tea with boiling hot water, so naturally the green tea flavor is killed (like always as they never tell customers that hot water kills green tea flavor and make it bland). If you want herbal tea thats good, but if you are looking for "real green tea", I recommend you get once that don't have funny names like this one or Samurai, Sakura, because they usually arent real green tea but something people who haven't had real green tea thought would sound oriental and cool.

Summary: Simply the best tasting tea I have ever drank...
Comment: I am addicted to this tea. Maybe because as an ex Starbucks employee I use to make, serve and drink it so much. I have tried many other teas which are suppose to be better then Tazo Zen.( Numi, Trader Joe's etc. ) and I still go back to Tazo Zen. If you go to Starbucks on a regular basis to purchase their iced green tea and want to save some money...Starbucks uses this exact tea. A box of 20 bags cost around $4.00. The instructions state to use two bags for every 8 oz. of iced tea. At Starbucks they do not follow this. To cut costs they use one tea bag for every 8 oz. of water then they double the steeping time indicated on the box. I make well over a gallon of tea out of each box that I buy. And yes...it tastes exactly like the Starbucks ones. If you like it sweet DONT add honey or powdered sugar because it will have a totally different taste then Starbucks...instead just buy a bottle of the Starbucks classic syrup available at all Starbucks. They go for about $7.00. They are usually out of pumps but Ebay has plenty of Starbucks pumps. Enjoy!

Editorial Review for Tazo Zen Tea:
ZenTM, a blend of exotic green teas and rare herbs. Includes: green tea, lemon verbena, spearmint and natural flavors. ZenTM, like all Tazo green teas, is prepared in a way that maintains the natural health benefits, color and taste. The tea is steamed to neutralize the oxidating enzyme, then dried using a panfired technique to bring out the maximum flavor. Like black teas, ZenTM and other Tazo green teas are made from the same botanical species, Cameila Sinensis and can contain as much caffeine as black teas.
