Green Tea

Tuesday, February 26, 2008

I've been drinking a lot of green tea from Adagio recently because I got a sampler pack for Christmas. It's a great way to try out all the many varieties they carry, and now I know which ones I like and which I don't.

Out of the gren tea sampler I got, my absolute favorite is Citron Green. It's infused with lemon and lime flavors, which gives it a nice citrus flavor - which is very refreshing. I normally drink it hot in the mornings, but I've had it cold a few times as well and it's just as good.

Next, I've grown to like Genmai Cha, which has popped rice and popcorn along with the tea leaves. It sounds a bit strange, but it's got a very sweet and nutty flavor. It's become one of my favorites. Lastly, I really like the Gunpowder green tea. This is just a good and strong tea. It's not too overpowering though.

I'm beginning to run out of tea leaves now and I'm going to have to reorder soon, and I'll be reordering larger containers of these teas I listed above. With that order, I'm probably also going to get the White Tea sampler pack as well. I don't think I've ever had any white tea before, and I'm always up for something new.
