Green tea - which is your favourite? ( I do not expect many replies to this - if any!)

[hunkermunker]

Not rooibos - tis foul.

I have some Twinings, which is OK (but not great if left for any length of time).

Anyone got a favourite?

Yes, but I am super-poncey and it comes from Japan

well i drink twinings....just plain old green tea,not the fancy stuff with different flavours!!

Boogeek, sounds lovely

TBB, I don't understand the different flavours stuff - I want my green tea to taste of green tea, really!

When I drank it years ago it was the London Herb and Spice Company stuff. Think they have been taken over now, possibly by Twinings which I don't like.

However, I always like Clipper teas and most of them are fairtrade and/or organic. They do a green tea so if I was going to drink it I'd probably try theirs. They have a site you can order from online if you google. (No, I don't work for them )

i cant be bothered with ordering...i just stick it in the trolley with everything else!

my favourite is apple, green tea, but they don't do that anymore
so i have lemon, or mint or just green.
personally.
tis clipper

I like the Twinings pineapple & grapefruit one, but agree with what the OP said about not leaving it to stand for too long.

DH likes Tetley Green Tea and drinks it by the gallon .

tassimo do a nice twinnings one that is really minty tasting.

tick tock is the best gren tea ever to be invented.

I also love twinnigs orange and lotus flower green tes.

I DO NOT like tea pigs green tea.......yuck

My Mum got me some loose leaf green tea in a lovely silver tin from Fortnum and Mason when she went to London the other week as a gift, and jolly divine it is too, I feel ever so posh when I drink it!

Clipper

Twinnings do a great green tea with apple and pear, just don't leave to to stew too long. A minute is more than enough.

My fave is also from Japan and I can't get it here I have to wait for relative to visit to bring me some!

Other than that, when I have run out I run to the supermarket for Clipper. Although I must say I go for the white tea over the green tea. Much nicer taste and that bit more delicate.

Double Dragon Jasmine is my favourite, failing that, any other jasmine. Nicer than normal green tea, I feel.

Not a fan of Japanese stuff though, prefer Chinese. Does that make me a green tea commoner?

DH drinks Green tea and likes Clipper (from supermarket) and Marks and Spencer, but it has to be just green tea and nothing else (lotus blossom, rainbow juice etc etc).

I drink Earl Grey, pref M&S.

green tea with jasmine

yum

jasmine green tea is lovely. I drink mine with milk which is a green tea no-no but I love the taste. so there.

tinierclanger Yes! Yes it does!

Well, let's say this. I am Chinese but drink Japanese tea...

Then again, my father calls me a commoner as I also like PG tips rather than Earl Grey!

clipper, either plain green or with jasmine.

erm... rooiboos isn't green tea though

yorkshire tea, for hard water...
Does me fine in me soft southern b*stard village...

will have to give a good green tea a go though..

am overly excited at the thought of green tean with pineapple and grapefruit!! can only find with orange or mint in my part of the world... will need to do a stock up on the next visit back.

remind me again what are the health benefits?

Jasmine. I can drink pot after pot when at Yum Cha, and after I have already had my one coffee of the day I switch to green tea. Tastes great - without milk and is full of antioxidants.
