The Republic of Tea - Honey Ginseng Green Tea, 50 Tea Bags, Tin | Flavored Gourmet Tea | Caffeinated

I’m a lifelong fan of green tea. I drink it 1-2x a day, unsweetened and steeped overlong for the added bitterness. I tend to stick with plain green teas as my go to but decided to treat myself, as I do enjoy honey in herbal and black teas, and the concept of steeping honey flavor versus adding honey was novel enough for me to try.OH MY GOSH THIS TEA SMELLS INCREDIBLE was my very first thought after opening the tin. I seriously huffed it for at least a minute. I set my kettle to 190°F for a first try (green tea typically likes a cooler temp, ~170°, but added herbs and flavors need a little higher temp to steep effectively) and this is the sweet spot for me. I tried 200° but it definitely scalded the green tea and ruined the honey taste. The flavor is divine after a 5 minute brewing time (in a 14oz mug if you need the measurement) - the honey aroma fills the air and the ginseng has a sweet, pungent, floral tone. I honestly barely taste the green tea in this unless I steep it overlong, which is probably perfect if you’re someone who wants to like green tea but just can’t quite get it. The taste is sufficiently sweet if you’re someone who enjoys sweetness in moderation.I thoroughly enjoy this tea and look forward to drinking it every morning. Sometimes I will add a bag to my post-dinner cup of (currently) jasmine and green tea, and the combination of floral tones is intoxicating. What a wonderful tea, and at a humble price.What prompted me to write this review is that I am currently sick and accidentally choked on this tea this morning. It was surprisingly pleasant as it went through my sinuses and I thought, wow, I have to make sure someone else can potentially experience this someday!

I love the taste of this tea. It's the first thing I drink in the morning with a slice of ginger, lemon, and honey specifically for the health benefits. The small sachet flavors 1 cup of hot water perfectly!

My favorite tea!It became impossible to findin storeThank you Amazon for selling this!!

Great tasting tea

Great Green Tea Flavor.

The aroma, something like a flower garden. Fabulous! Taste smooth a beautiful. Looking for a tea that tastes great, pick this one and you’ll be happy you did. Also a great value.I’ve had more time with this tea. The whole, not having strings and staples thing. I think that is fabulous and every company should not have staples or string that I’ll just seems wasted. I don’t use them makes it easier just to drink it without flavor is beautiful. I love that. The company even says you to reuse the tin. I’m a reuse junkie so that’ll work me.I’ll be looking at the other products this company has.

Always great taste...don't even need a sweetener.

I enjoy this tea. Good flavor, not too strong, just right.
