Celestial Seasonings Green Tea
Written by Suzanne on October 5, 2009The good folks at Celestial Seasonings asked me to do a taste test on a few of their new Green Teas. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical at first because the only tea I usually gravitate towards is of the iced variety and loaded with sugar, also known as Sweet Tea.
I do like they’re Roastaroma tea as a coffee alternative and I’ve read about the benefits of green tea but in my own experience most leave an after taste reminiscent of brewed grass. Now some people can get used to that brewed grass taste but I’d bypass the benefits altogether and go back to my overly caffeinated Cup of Joe instead.
Celestial Seasonings isn’t new to Green Tea but they’ve infused Bai Mu Dan white tea to their green tea creating even smoother, more full-flavored blends.
Not only have they infused teas, they’ve combined their new green tea packaging with empowering traditional wisdom represented by nine symbolic Asian characters.
Take a look at these beautiful boxes:
Antioxidant Supplement Green Tea
Decaf Mandarin Orchard™ Green Tea
Raspberry Gardens® Green Tea
I enjoyed all three of these but if I had to pick a favorite it would be the Raspberry Gardens® Green Tea. It has a natural raspberry flavor that isn’t overpowering.
The Decaf Mandarin Orchard™ has the antioxidant benefits of green tea without any caffeine. I’d like to make this one into an iced green tea and drink it all day.
The Antioxidant Supplement Green Tea is great with a light citrus taste and they’ve added more Vitamins A, C and E. My hubby enjoyed this one which is surprising because he’s not much of a tea drinker, but this one might have changed his mind.
Try out any of these Celestial Seasonings Green Teas and let me know which one you like best. I’d like to try more from their collection. I think Decaf Mint Green Tea and Blueberry Breeze® Green Tea are next.

I love Celestial Seasonings. It’s the only tea I buy and it was originally in part because I wanted to stay loyal to a local company but I really love their tea over others. We only lived about 20 minutes from their factory near Boulder, Colorado. I’ve toured it twice and the original artwork on their boxes hangs in the hallways and they are BEAUTIFUL! The gift shop also has prints and postcards of them.

I just started drinking green tea. A childhood friend included it in a “Chemo Bag” she made up for me (when I was diagnosed) and I started drinking it in the evenings (with toast). It’s very yummy–not too strong & not too weak. As a hardcore black coffee drinker I was very skeptical about drinking green tea…but alas, it’s yummy.
I just bought some green tea with pomegranate–haven’t tried it yet, though. I’ll keep your review in mind (and the raspberry). :)

These teas are delicious, really good tasting, not overdone with the flavor.
I have a huge variation of teas at work maybe 20, tazo, bigelow, lipton, earl grey, and they are all pretty aweful.
Getting a Tazo tea at starbucks always makes me think why did I buy this, it tastes horrible.
But, I tried one of these teas, they are very tasty. I will stock up on these and sun crystals stevia packets I am set.
