Questions about Guava Ginseng Tropical Green Tea, All Natural, 20 Teabags, Blended and Packed in Hawaii
Q:
Are these decaf?
Answer: the box says "less caffeine" but not decaf. However I understand that even green tea labeled at decaf may still have a minute amount of caffeine. If you are allergic, stay away completely. Otherwise the small amount of caffeine in this tea should not bother you unless you drink more than 2-3 cups a day. My thoughts only, I am not a nutritionist
Q:
why is there a cancer warning?
Answer: yea - I don't know either - pretty frightening - and then when I tried to return it based on the warnings- the return was denied. Bad situation. I really thought because it was made in the US that I wouldn't have to worry about stuff like that- awful. I did not use it based on the warnings about lead. The company never responded to my concerns.
Q:
What do you mean by "natural flavoring"?
Answer: I never made the tea because when I rec'd it the box was covered with warning labels that the item contained lead- I was shocked and tried to return the item and it was not returnable - please be warned. and no where in the descriptors does it mention the lead warnings!
Answer: For Mom and she loves this tea
Q:
How much caffeine does it have?
Answer: The box just says less caffeine than black tea.
Q:
Does this product have caffeine?
Answer: Mahalo for your question. Yes, our Guava Ginseng Teas has caffeine, however, it is less than our black teas. Aloha
Answer: I do not believe so. There is nothing on the label except Guava Ginseng all natural green tea. It is delicious. You might want to contact the maker. Website www.hitea.com just to make sure. I love this stuff. The mango is good but the guava is excellent..
Q:
How much ginseng is in each tea bag?
Q:
Why is there a cancer warning on the box?
Answer: because of the lead warnings on the label
Q:
Are hawaiian tea company’s tea leaves all grown in hawaii?
Answer: All of our tea ingredients whether locally or non locally sourced go through tight quality control that ensures the very best ingredients go into Hawaiian Island Teas.
Q:
Is this tea grown in Hawaii or China, you answered some else's same question with "locally or non locally", is your non local tea from China?
Answer: Hawaii
Product reviews of Guava Ginseng Tropical Green Tea, All Natural, 20 Teabags, Blended and Packed in Hawaii
Amazon Customer : Liked it
I liked it
Cookie Crook : Tropical goodness
The tea is well balanced with a slightly tart finish which is typical of anything that has guava in it. I like to have this tea in the morning in place of coffee. Each tea bag is individually wrapped and when you open the wrapper you can just smell a tropical breeze of goodness and relaxation. I have purchased this tea over and over again. If you do choose to sweeten it I would use a small amount of honey (to much and you will over power the tea).
ISABEL C. RODRIGUEZ : Not good
Taste bad!
Vi : Fantastic tea, too bad shipping is high
Found this tea in Maui and brought home two boxes; wish I'd brought back more. This is high-quality tea, well cured and grown, with a wonderful flavor. It's fantastic hot and delicious iced.
If you love green tea, you'll love it.
If you've never had green tea, this is a great way to start without being overwhelmed by the strong green flavor.
And if you hate green tea, you'll like this one.
If you're in HI on vacation, plan to purchase a few boxes -- it was only about $3/box at ABC, but is better than most of the $9/box brands on the mainland. Even with this high shipping cost, it's worth getting. It's that good.

Ted Deems : Guava Ginseng
A little stronger than most teas. Not a mint tea, but has good mint flavor. Love it!
Vanessa Lavilla : Local tea
Delicious
Denie Taveras : Five Stars
Amazing rich natural flavor.the guava is amazing!!
bcat : Not as guava tasting as I’d hoped
But not bad
Kindle Customer : deadly
until I received the product I had no knowledge that it contained lead! and apparently I can not return the item nor did the sender respond to my concerns which are based on large warning stickers placed on the product. This is absurd.
larry davis : This is the best tea I have ever had
Tea is simply the best
Denie Taveras : Five Stars
Amazing rich natural flavor.the guava is amazing!!
Amazon Customer : Perfecto
Me gusto el olor y sabor
Marie : Delicious!
I was looking for a quality green tea with ginseng that didn’t have honey flavor because I don’t care for the sweetness. This fit the bill and is delicious! The guava adds such a nice flavor without being too sweet. Am buying more for sure.
Ted Deems : Guava Ginseng
A little stronger than most teas. Not a mint tea, but has good mint flavor. Love it!
vbinaz : Great taste
I drink tea daily, and I do not add any sweeteners to it. The taste of this tea is so good! I really recommend it. No one taste stands out, it is an amazing blend of flavors. I offer it to friends, who then take the tea bag it comes in (each one is sealed for freshness) so they can order it.
Nastasia Santana : Delicious
Truly delicious tea. I like having it with passionfruit & mango preserves.
Connecticut Yankee : Delicious
Very good tea. Just ordered more for my home and some for my mother to try.
For me, green tea with ginseng is a tasty way to lower my blood pressure naturally. Do not care for green tea alone (too boring) or ginseng tea alone (tastes like dirt). This combo is quite tasty. Although I would prefer just the green and ginseng, the guava adds a gentle sweetness which is quite nice.
Since I have had trouble finding any green tea w/ginseng in my local supermarkets and health food store (I live on the shoreline in Connecticut), was very happy to find this tea and do recommend it. It even stands up quite well when a little milk is added.
Also, thank you Hawaiian Islands Tea Company for having stringed tea bags! I do not brew tea and do not think to check if a tea bag was a string before buying. I just presume that it will. Very annoying to get home with other brand names I bought that do not have the string.
I have one request for the makers of this tea. Would you please consider offering just green/ginseng tea without the guava? Good Earth used to make a tea like this (it does no longer), and I miss it. Although the guava is a fine ingredient and I will continue to buy this tea, I find that the other two ingredients alone offer a little more oomph in a stronger brew. Sometimes I want light, sometimes I want some oomph...and both are a pleasant, natural way to lower my blood pressure.
Follow-up on 6/30/2018: I do not know if it is this tea or not but last night my blood pressure was the lowest it has ever been. I have made no lifestyle, diet or exercise changes and yet last night my blood pressure was 99/59. I thought, that can't be right so I took it again...102/63. That still seemed low to me so I took it a third time....again 102/63!
As I noted above, sent some to my mother (she is 90 years old). She loves it and has noticed a slight drop in her blood pressure already. Since Ginseng is also supposed to be good for lowering bad cholesterol (that helps me) and easing the pain of arthritis (helps my Mom), I'll try and check back later in the summer with an update on those scores.
Kea : Mom is so enjoying her yummy tea!
Purchased for my Mom and she loves it! Taste great and now one of her favs!
ECE89 : Good tasting tea
Nice fruity flavor and aroma. Enjoying it everyday.
Zalm : Delish
Delish for green tea, 2nd time I purchased!
Eva Woodsmall : Five Stars
Great taste.
Foster Folly : Cancer Warning! Do not Buy this "Health" tea!!
I believed this tea came from hawaii but it is from China and a large cancer warning label on the outside of the box scared me enough to throw the unopened package in the trash. I would not waste my time returning it because it was less than $10.00. Although there were multiple photos of the package on the amazon site, the side of the box with the bright cancer warning was missing from the photos.
Rosalie Adorno : Is a good product
I LIKE TEA
Mary : Great taste tea
Delicious tea, great taste!
I am not a human. : Delicious tea
Very delicious
Leigh Cambra : Five Stars
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! I am obsessed. The flavor is absolutely amazing. I cannot get enough of it.
Vita : I'm not a tea drinker and I love this
Delicious. I add 4 stevia drops and a tiny amount of almond milk...and it's like a treat. Smells heavenly too.
KatD : and so happy to have found it available online
Came across this at a Hawaiian coffee shop in San Diego, and so happy to have found it available online. It's delicious... A little tart, not too sweet, not too "green," smells great. Definitely recommend.
Amazon Customer : Unable to return a parcel before 30 days.
When the tea arrived there was a warning on the box about mercury. I tried to return the box and I was before the 30 days and was told unable to return. I would like this to be credit to my account credit
Leigh Cambra : Five Stars
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! I am obsessed. The flavor is absolutely amazing. I cannot get enough of it.
Ty : Great flavor
I had a great guava tea while in the Bahamas a few yrs ago. I could never find it online or in stores states-side. However, I found this tea on Amazon, and it is just as good. The flavor is great. I don't have to add sugar to it. I'm guessing the shipping is so high because of where it is shipping from. But, I will definitely continue to order it!
Maldonado R. Maldonado : Good tea
Great taste
RJS : Enjoyable tea
This tea tastes good with or without sweetener. Seems good quality and healthy ingredients.
