About the Brand
The Bigelow Tea Story Beginning the moment our founder, Ruth Campbell Bigelow created "Constant Comment" Tea in her kitchen in 1945, our family has focused on just one thing trying to make the finest teas possible. Over the years we have introduced many new flavors as well as concepts in tea. Today we offer a selection of deliciously different blends of teas and green teas, a wide variety of herbal teas and teas flavored with real fruit juice. Today Bigelow Tea is the number one specialty tea company in the United States. And to think it all began with the first legendary black tea flavored with golden orange rind and sweet spice "Constant Comment"Tea. Bigelow takes immense pride in providing the tea drinking community with the best tea at a great value. We only use hand- picked teas, real spices, flavors and herbs. The flavors and blends we have created are second to none. Some of our teas contain up to twenty different ingredients! And because tea is a leaf that can dry out we take steps to protect it. To keep the teas fresh, we seal our tea bags in protective packets. We simply have to protect those delightful flavors. That's why a cup of Bigelow Tea is aromatic and delicious; a true indulgence for the senses.

Questions about Bigelow Green Tea with Pomegranate Tea Bags, 20 Count Box (Pack of 6) Caffeinated Green Tea, 120 Tea Bags Total
Q:
6 pack means 6 boxes with 40 tea bags in each?
Answer: 6 packs means 6 boxes with each box containing 20 individually wrapped bags. I have ordered this MANY times.
Answer: Hi, My offer was for 20 tea bags and that is what I got 20 tea bag envelopes per box with six boxes per package. I have ordered Earl Grey And Constant Comment this way.
Answer: Yes, but the tea bags aren't individually wrapped. There are ten packs per box, with four bags per pack.
Answer: That is correct.
Answer: yes, that's right.
Answer: Yes.
Q:
where is tea grown and made in? what does the box say? thanks a lot.
Answer: I think the labels should be checked, because some of them do show "Product of China" on the box and tea bag packaging. I'd like to upload a photos of the one I was reviewing on Amazon, but I don't see that function with answering this question. But maybe this link will help.
Answer: Directly from their website... "No, Bigelow Teas are not made from any of the green leaf grown or harvested here at the Charleston Tea Plantation. American Classic Teas are the only teas made from the green leaf produced by the Camellia Sinensis plants grown on the grounds of the Charleston Tea Plantation." I just called Bigelow and was told that the green tea comes from China... which is what it clearly states on the box that I saw in the store. I am not sure where everyone is getting their info from...
Answer: Hi Liz, good question and I'm glad you asked. The tea is 100% grown and produced at the Charleston Tea Plantation in S. Carolina. Right here in the US. I don't know what the box says, I found out by visiting the website, bigelowtea.com
Answer: The box does not say but here is there customer service phone number 1-888-BIGELOW
Answer: Charleston tea plantation in Wadmalaw island, SC. That is what box says. It's well worth buying! E
Q:
What is the country of origin for this tea? Where's it grown?
Answer: I only drink the Earl Grey Green Tea. The Bergamot oil comes from Calabria Italy but nothing is mentioned where the green tea is grown. Sorry
Answer: The packaging only says "blended and packaged in the U.S.A." There is nothing about where it is grown.
Answer: Doesn't say. Just states blended and packaged in U.S.
Q:
Is this organic?
Answer: I am not sure. I know Bigelow has a good reputation in the market.
Q:
Does this help, burn fat ? and help boost metobolism ??
Answer: Here are a couple of links to help you out: http://www.health.harvard.edu/press_releases/benefit_of_drinking_green_tea
Answer: Based on what i have read, research findings seem to be inconclusive on whether green tea helps burn fat and increase metabolism. Many respected sources that I have read feel that whatever effects one may see from green tea are likely due to the high levels caffeine and other compounds in the tea -- both caffeine and these other compounds are stimulants - stimulants may encourage you to move more and as a result you will burn more calories.
Answer: Yes it can help, i lost weight doing the green teas in the morning before eating
Answer: Probably not LOL :) Wouldn't it be nice if it did?!
Q:
Do the tea bags come individually packaged or are all the tea bags loose?
Answer: I have only purchased the "Mango" tea, which is my favorite, in which all the tea bags are individually packaged. I would imagine they are packaged the same in this, but since I never bought it that I can remember that's the best help I can give you. Have a nice day.
Answer: NOT ALWAYS - if you buy the 40 count box they come 4 per bag.. total inconvenience if you have these for the workplace.
Answer: Tea bags are individually wrapped in the foil-like sleeve which I think keeps the tea fresher than paper wrapped.
Answer: They are I individually wrapped in premium foil packages...sealed for freshness. Love this brand...not disappointing!
Answer: They come individually packaged in little sealed packets...the way you'd buy them individually.
Q:
Does ANYBODY know the antioxidant content when brewing one single bag? The Bigelows don't respond on their website, twitter,facebook, etc
Answer: Green tea contains compounds called catechins (a subset of a group of compounds called polyphenols) that in test tube studies show antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, antitumorigenic, and antimicrobial properties. The main catechin found in green tea is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Consumer Lab did a study on many popular green teas and found Bigelows to have 25.0 mg EGCG and 60.9 mg total catechins. Bigalow organic and decaf green teas were higher. This compares to Lipton Green Tea that had the highest of all tested at 71.1 mg EGCG and 188.1 mg total catechins. Hope this helps.
Answer: Unfortunately, I don't know the specific antioxidant content. However, here's a bit of info from WebMD: Several teas (including green tea) come from the plant Camellia sinensis. Green tea leaves are not fermented like many teas; they are withered and steamed. Teas from the Camellia sinensis are rich in polyphenols. Whether it's green or black, tea has about eight to 10 times the polyphenols found in fruits and vegetables. Green tea is a great detoxifier. There is no doubt about that.
Q:
What are your tea bags made out of? Do they leach chemicals into the tea?
Answer: i asked the same question to the Bigelow and they mailed the below answer.
Answer: i got the Pomegranate tea...but i assume the bags are the same for all kinds...and my box does not say what the bags are made out of...i would guess that you need to contact Bigelow directly.
Answer: I'm not really sure, my daughter drinks most of it. They seem to be paper though and I've not noticed any off flavors. The cinnamon tea is not listed as organic though.
Q:
Is This Decaffeinated?
Answer: No, this one is not. There is the decaffeinated version available for sale, and the description is below. Pop that into your search bar and it will direct you to the decaf product.
Answer: No, not that I know of. I use the Earl Grey Green tea and it is not decaffeinated. Most products state if they are decaffeinated.
Answer: This green tea natural contains caffeine, between 25-50 mg per tea bag. This tea is also offered in decaf.
Answer: Green tea with mint has 25 to 50 mg of caffeine. I not sure about other brands.
Answer: No. It is caffeinated green tea.
Answer: No it is NOT
Answer: No. The box would say if it were.
Q:
Blended and packaged in the USA but where do the ingredients come from?
Answer: In terms of ingredients, we buy over 200 botanicals from around the globe, many of which are sourced from the USA.
Answer: Not sure. Class action suit ongoing. Company is not clear what country ingredients come from. Possibly
Answer: I googled the answer. You might want to research it some more.
Answer: I am sorry I dont know. I can however tell you the taste of the green tea I enjoy is consisantly gteat. It has never let me down and I cannot sau tjat of other nsme brands. For.me green tes is noy a ttenf its mote of a religious experience. Thsts wjy I choose this brand.

Green teas need to brew in a certain range to get the most flavor without bitterness, but it varies by brand, etc. What is best for this tea?

Answer: No. Only Decaf is relatively caffeine free.
Q:
Do they chew the green herb to turn it into oolong or is it only twisted by hand?
Answer: Twisted by hand
Answer: I don't know the exact answer to this. But as I understand it the process of rolling or twisting tea is part of a labor intensive process used to make particular types of green tea. This is made in factories in the USA.

Answer: I checked amazon website and they do have it in decaf, different sized boxes.
Q:
is it weight lossing??
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: Don't drink it for weight loss. I like black tea. The green tea does not have much flavor-even with two bags in one cup. Disappointed. Want a green tea with flavor that is decaf.

Q:
Is this decaf or regular tea it says both in desceription
Answer: On the front of the box it will say regular or Decaf. I was just at a grocery store that sells the 40 teabag box. Decaf is in really large letters on the front of the box. I have found that there is very little caffeine in the regular tea. I had to do without green tea for a medical procedure and did not experience a headache.
Answer: Thank you for pointing that out, and we have requested that to be corrected asap. This is for the Green Tea Classic (regular - caffeinated).
Answer: Maybe it comes both ways, but mine's got caffeine. BTW, it has a good flavor but it takes two bags to make a cup of tea.
Answer: The box I purchased was regular/caffinated
Answer: They have both reg and decaf but the box you are showing is reg
Answer: Regular. Has half the caffeine of coffee though
Q:
Do this tea boost your immune system?

Answer: In my opinion... yes. Twice a day once for breakfast once before bed. Feel good tea ????
Answer: I got this tea because it's tasty and it helps me stay energized all day
Q:
Where are the ingredients sourced from?
Answer: From the Bigelow website:
Q:
What is the benefit of Caffeinated vs decaffeinated green tea?

Q:

Answer: the tea bags themselves, are paper
Q:
Do you have a peppermint play
Answer: No
Q:
Does this tea contain egcg??
Answer: I had not heard of egcg so I Googled the term and discovered that green tea contains egcg. I then checked the contents listed on the boxes of green tea I have ordered from Bigelow. Unfortunately they only list "green tea" on the box and not the ingredients/chemicals within the green tea. Based on the information I read on Google, I think you should assume that all green tea contains egcg. If you want to be sure, I would contact Bigelow Tea. Good Luck.
Answer: Altho’ it’s not listed as an “ ingredient”, egcg occurs naturally in green tea and GREEN TEA is the only ingredient listed on this product!
Answer: I don’t know and I have disposed of the original box.
Q:
Is the "Pomagranate Flavor" real dehydrated or just artificial flavor
Answer: There don't appear to be any artificial flavorings. Ingredients are listed as: "green tea, apple, hibiscus, natural pomegranate flavors with other natural flavors (soy lecithin), rose hips, licorice root, pomegranate peel"
Answer: It is real dehydrated, and will turn your tea slightly pink. VERY good tea!!!
Q:
Why is it promoted as 6 boxes and i only recieved 1?
Answer: Good question. I got six. But that might have only been a limited-time offer.
Answer: You will have to ask supplier.
Q:
Is this tea pesticide free?
Answer: I'm pretty sure they are not pesticide free. The box doesn't mention it anywhere and I did not see the issue addressed on the company website. This day and age, I would imagine they would tout it if they were.
Q:
does anyone know if they use epichlorohydrin, which is used to strengthen the wet paper, in their tea bags? it's a toxin commonly used. thanks. ks.
Answer: I bought the Bigelow Earl Gray Bergomot and not the green tea but I suspect the bags are the same. The ingredient in question is not mentioned anywhere on the box. But what is in the bag is probably not subject to disclosure laws. Your best bet is to contact Bigelow and hope you get a straight answer from them.
Product reviews of Bigelow Green Tea with Pomegranate Tea Bags, 20 Count Box (Pack of 6) Caffeinated Green Tea, 120 Tea Bags Total
broktreeVT : Bigelow, always seems to be the freshest tasting, very well packaged
4 bags inside a foil wrapper so your tea stays fresh longer. The one I got was 6 boxes which I didn't realize, but it is so good it'll go quickly i'm sure. Bigelow always seems to have the freshest tasting tea, highly recommended.
Morgan Hendricks : Something seems off in flavor...
Something in this is not flavorful to me. I buy it at the store and it’s so much flavorful. Is this another brand that is pretending to be Bigelow???? And why would you put three in a packet!??
Patricia H. : Great product
I love this green tea. I am drinking it instead of coffee all the time. I still drink coffee but barely 2 cups a day instead of several. I put ginger and turmeric a couple times a day, which increases the healing properties of the tea. One thing is some of the boxes are weaker tasting than the others.
D. Getz : I LOVE IT
I absolutely this TEA. It is much better than plain Green Tea. I always add a teaspoon of Crystal Lite Peach Tea for more flavor and Sweetness. The additional ingredients are good for you. I love it.
J's Review : This is a BIG order
I was looking to spice up my morning routine by adding some green tea. I love me some green tea in the morning. Anyway, I bought this wonderful product without really reading it as I have used this brand before and I am pretty brand loyal to most things. Holy taquito in a microwave......this was too much green tea. We now have so much green tea, I could open a tea shop with only green tea and still be tea rich for a decade.
Shob : No jasmine flavor
I ordered this because I love Bigelows Sleep tea is wonderful. This jasmine green tea has no jasmine taste at all. I'm now stuck with 6 boxes of high priced green tea. I am very disappointed.
Lawn Pro : Tastes great with honey, turmeric is good for inflammation, antioxidant green tea has benefits
I have never really had green tea before so I did not know what to expect. I have plantar fasciitis so the turmeric in the bags was interesting because It is good for inflammation, along with the antioxidant green tea. So it tastes okay, it takes a couple minutes to soak depending on whether your water is warm or cold. The tea by itself I didn't particularly like that well, but I added a couple of tablespoons of Honey into 12 oz cup, and then I really liked it. On top of everything else, my foot seems to feel better. Each bag has around 35 mg of caffeine, so that's not much of a factor. I'm a week into my six boxes, and I make sure to drink at least one 14 oz glass of tea a day. In fact I look forward to it after discovering the honey.
Patricia D. : Best to buy this at your local store
Best to buy this at your local store. This is my all-time favorite green tea but noticed that there is absolutely no flavor to this tea I purchased on amazon...maybe I got a bad batch, but I will not buy tea in bulk again.
barbara ambler : green tea
i like this tea. used to only drink earl grey or occasional camille tea, but green tea is my new favorite. tastes great, and is supposed to be good for you, with anti-oxidents, etc. but it just tastes good. try it.
LANNY TIEFER : Great quality for a fair price
Not caring much for the taste of coffee, I use these little bags to give me that kick in the butt in the morning to get me going. Doctors tell us that green tea also has health benefits ... not my primary concern from this particular product, but it sure doesn't hurt.
DRB-Round the World : Almost as good as the original!
I've been a HUGE tea lover forever and Constant Comment has always been one of my top favs. For heath reasons, I've switched over to green tea so I was thrilled when I found this in a green tea. The flavor is not as quite as strong as the original but I'm Ok w/ that. I tried the black tea decaff version and was not as impressed as with the green tea. I found a new love! Arrrived quickly, product was as advertised and price was right when purchased in bulk.
Pitt Bull Momma : Box opened
When I opened my carton the peach flavor carton was open and a tea bag was gone. Yes I counted them! I am not going to make a big thing about 1 tea bag but if it happens again I will not order it again. Feel like I am ordering a used product.
David : My daughter loves this stuff
My daughter started drinking this tea a few months back. I had picked it up on clearance at the store. She wanted more and I could not find any at the local stores so I checked amazon. Here ya go! 6 boxes should last us a long time.
This tea is good. It's got a green tea taste with just a hint of peach. I'm not a big peach guy but I really like this stuff also. We drink it hot and cold. My daughter adds a touch of sugar and I like mine just straight up.
Overall, a very good tea. Recommend by daughter and dad.
LofiFeelingOkayIguess : The best flavors, the richness of life.
This tea changed my life. I stopped cheating on my wife. I accepted the affair. She's been happy with another guy for a while and both of them got the house, the car, everythin..., but at least I have Bigelow Earl Grey Green Tea, a tasty and robust blend of Italian bergamont oils, infused into every sachel. Nothing soothes post marital depression quite like Bigelow™
Everything came in a sturdy box, and nothing was crushed at all. Feels good not buying tea from the same store the old misses and I went to
David W McLoda : Only 1.7 grams compared to store-bought 2.5 grams
Very little tea in each bag. I made my tea as normal and it tasted like water with this brand and style. I massed the contents on a scale and there is only 1.5 grams in each bag. I compared that to my store-bought tea which had 2.5 grams in each. I will have to use twice as many bags for the same strength that I’m used to. It’s no longer a good value and I regret my purchase.
josephine : Tastes great
Love the packaging with 4 in a pack, nice to carry in purse for the restaurants that don’t have green tea let alone organic. Taste is always great, not bitter. Always out of stock in the supermarket, always in at Amazon
kimberly : Some of the best tea I've ever had.
I am a complete fan of this tea. Has a wonderful bold flavor and just enough of a sweet spicy kick to start my morning off right. It is good hot or cold. The aroma is also great. All round I am very happy and I know I will buy much more in the future. Buying bulk is the way to go if you like it as much as I do.
Sue B. Evans : a definition problem
Thot I'd try drinking green tea now and then (I prefer coffee) so I ordered the green tea from this well-known company.
The description spoke of PACKETS of six. I envisioned six individual tea bags packaged together in clear cellophane (or whatever).
When I opened my package, I was astounded that they had sent me six BOXES of Bigelow tea! I've checked with friends as to their definition of what a "packet" might be - no one has thought that it means a box of something.
So now I'm trying to farm off some of my boxes of tea to friends.
It would have been helpful if the Bigelow description had used the word box instead of packet.
A Purple Cow : Weak on the jasmine for jasmine green tea
I used to drink Kroger brand jasmine tea but recently moved to a place where there are no Krogers and had to switch. I couldn't find any jasmine tea locally at all and had to order some. It's not bad--it's drinkable--but the flavor is pretty weak even if you leave the tea bag in for a long time (as is my abominable custom). It really just tastes like weak green tea. I can't taste the jasmine in it at all. It's fine, and I'll finish drinking it; but after I run out I'll look for something with more jasmine flavor.
DRB-Round the World : Almost as good as the original!
I've been a HUGE tea lover forever and Constant Comment has always been one of my top favs. For heath reasons, I've switched over to green tea so I was thrilled when I found this in a green tea. The flavor is not as quite as strong as the original but I'm Ok w/ that. I tried the black tea decaff version and was not as impressed as with the green tea. I found a new love! Arrrived quickly, product was as advertised and price was right when purchased in bulk.
Kenneth Bellew : Compared to Yogi Green Tea Super Anitoxidant
I'm comparing this Bigelow Green Tea "Delicate Flavor" to Yogi Green Tea Super Antioxidant.
Pros:
* Bigelow's is cheaper per bag
Bigelow = 240 bag for $18.69, or about $0.08 cents each (June 2013)
Yogi's = 96 bags for $15.75, or about $0.16 cents each.
Cons:
* Does not taste as good as Yogi (IMHO)
* Each bag is twice as weak as Yogi's.
I drink a 16 oz cup. I use two Yogi bags per 16 oz cup. I find I need 4 Bigelow bags to equal the strength of 2 Yogi bags. Admittedly, this is somewhat subjective, but this is my opinion in my review.
Conclusion: While Bigelow's is cheaper, it requires twice as many bags to reach the same level of concentration. This is a plus for anyone who doesn't like it as strong as I do. If you like stronger tea, the cost is a wash between the two. Also, I like Yogi flavor better. However, the flavor is pretty good and the quality seems fine, so I'd still recommend this product.
speaks the truth : Green tea with a touch of lemon is my cup of tea, bye coffee.
Yesterday I received my order of Green Tea with a touch of lemon. This morning I am drinking my first cup of this green tea. I am a morning coffee drinker, and definitely not tea, until I received this tea with a touch of lemon, and raw honey which I added. The taste of this tea is definitely on top in my opinion. I ordered this because my blood sugar level is near top limit before going into diabetes. I wanted to cut diabetes at the pass, and so now its all Green tea with a touch of lemon, bye bye coffee.
PSP : Great price for 240 tea bags
Great value for this amount of tea. I used to buy a iced green tea every morning from Starbucks. When I did the math, I was spending about $130/month. That is crazy. So I bought an iced tea maker and this lot of 240 tea bags. I have been using 6 tea bags every other day (2 quarts). So I get to drink TWO full glasses of iced green tea every day instead of the one I was buying at Starbucks. At this rate, I will be saving about $120/month making my own. It's a no brainer and the taste is great!
Puspita Chakraborty : Average Green Tea - Does not taste so great - Very WEAK !!
I made my tea with one bag and it does not taste so great - feels more like hot water. The flavor is very weak. Completely lacks the green tea taste, the ones which I used to buy from the local stores are much more flavourful and have the green tea taste. Good quality green tea generally has a strong flavor - I did not like the overall taste of this green tea.
S. Bimka : Wonderful clean taste
This green tea with mint is light, flavorful and really clean tasting. Absolutely no bitterness and requires no sweetening which is a big thing for me. Bigelow recommends steeping the tea 3 min, I usually do 4. Not letting the bag sit in my cup of tea is something I have learned makes a difference.
T. Weber : Gone before I knew it.
This is good green tea. Unfortunately, I finished it off all a few days after opening the box. Great fat burning properties. My only complaint is that the tea bags are individually labeled. I keep my tea in a tea box for easy access. This tea comes in pouches with the tea bags inside. Once removed, you have to drink it because it's now completely exposed.

Terrell : Painless health improvement
The evidence in support of green tea having a health benefit seems to grow every year. Therefore, although I am not a lover of tea generally, I feel compelled to give it a shot. These flavored teas make it a little easier to replace one cup of coffee with a hot tea every morning. I will buy them again.
Kat Alina : My favorite tea
This is pretty much my all time favorite flavor of tea and I love ordering this way. Six boxes of tea lasts me a few months. The flavor of this earl grey is milder than the traditional black tea but in no way lacking in flavor. I have ordered this quite a few times but never wrote a review even though it is a must have for me. I will continue to order this because I cannot find this amazing tea anywhere locally and I love it too much to go without it.
Bbyangl59 : Light on taste
I bought these because I was told this is a good product and I liked the pricing. Each packet has 4 tea bags inside, figured the order would last a while. Unfortunately the flavor is light and I wind up using 2 tea bags per cup. I'll be buying a stronger product when this supply gets low.
Ohista : Weak flavor compared to non-organic
Bigelow green tea (non-organic) has always been my go-to boxed tea, so when I saw the organic I figured that It would be the same delicious flavor with the added benefit of being organic. I purchase organic when the option is available, so it pains me to say the organic green tea has a much weaker flavor than the non-organic. I’ve trying brewing longer but the flavor doesn’t come through the same way. I’m going to try using two bags and see if the strength of the flavor improves.
Hbste1 : The best tea
The first time I had this tea I didn’t like it. The next day I tried it again. And then I loved the flavor. Now have a cup every day. I do sweeten it with organic stevia. If you buy the big package with 4 boxes on Amazon it is much less expensive than Walmart and other stores. It feels healthy while I’m drinking it too. Love this tea.
Paper or Kindle : For the green tea fan in your life
I'm not a fan of green tea, but my mother is, so I surprised her with this package of assorted green tea flavors, including a green tea version of Bigelow's famous Constant Comment, a decaffeinated green tea, and others with lemon, pomegranate and so on. She loves all of them, and we're especially happy that the bags are wrapped in foil so the tea doesn't become stale.
K. A. Kantardjieff : nice variety but wrong item
Wrong item shipped. Not green tea. Variety pack is still ok and I'm not going to bother returning, but the item shipped was not green tea. To make it worse, I ordered the item again, making SURE that I selected the green tea variety... I got the WRONG mix AGAIN.

Lynn : No longer the flavor and aroma that Constant Comment used to have
This Constant Comment is very weak flavoring and almost no aroma when brewed, and there is very much less in the bag, all these things when compared with what I bought a year ago in the store, of which I still have several to compare. After many decades of drinking Constant Comment, this is a sad loss in a product I loved.
Shutterbug : My new favorite--but hard-to-find--flavor of tea
My new favorite tea--Earl Gray taste but milder plus green tea antioxidants. None of my local grocery stores carry this flavor, so glad that Amazon does. At first, I didn't want to buy six boxes but the per box price is very competitive and I'm going through a box every two weeks. All in all, a great tea at a great value.

A Purple Cow : Weak on the jasmine for jasmine green tea
I used to drink Kroger brand jasmine tea but recently moved to a place where there are no Krogers and had to switch. I couldn't find any jasmine tea locally at all and had to order some. It's not bad--it's drinkable--but the flavor is pretty weak even if you leave the tea bag in for a long time (as is my abominable custom). It really just tastes like weak green tea. I can't taste the jasmine in it at all. It's fine, and I'll finish drinking it; but after I run out I'll look for something with more jasmine flavor.
linda galella : Bigelow makes great teas and their
packaging is exemplary! I’ve been hooked on their Vanilla Chai for 3 decades...
Back on the topic of Green Tea, I was in need of something PLAIN, in order to facilitate the “IF”eating style and this seemed like it would fit the program. Plain it is! Too much so, if I use only one bag in my brew. When I make tea early in the day, it’s usually 16 oz at a time and 1 bag is plenty. I don’t care for a strong brew, but apparently green tea is too gentle, even for me! So, I tossed 2 bags into the stainless steel flask and waited for tempus to fugit.
After 7-8 minutes, the brew was aromatic and had rich color. It’s lovely both hot and cold and with a splash of lemon. Best of all, it gives me a small variation during the fasting cycle of my day????

Knowlengr : It's Organic, OK? - And more than acceptable taste
Hardly a connoisseur of green teas, I nonetheless consume lots of it -- on a typical workday, I drink 4-6 packets of the stuff. There are surprisingly few options for organic tea, though I imagine this will change gradually over time.
Bigelow packs these with one overall paper wrapping, and several bags are enclosed in a separate sealed wrapper. Intended to preserve freshness (see the Wikipedia entry for green tea for more on this), this is convenient if you want to pack several bags for lunch at work.
I'd also tried Celestial Seasonings' (non organic) green tea, and notice that it was somewhat less tolerant of boiling water than the Bigelow product, which Wikipedia tells us can cause green tea leaves to produce bitterness. Celestial Seasonings green tea offering seemed to pack slightly more taste, but the difference is small in my judgment.
I have an unscientific suspicion that an almost-boiled product might release more unwanted chemicals from non-organic farming, and since I drink lots of tea, it seems worth the additional expense to buy organic. Lipton sells what is to my palette an equally acceptable green tea, but it's not organic.
I recommend mixing this with Celestial Seasonings Herb Tea, Cinnamon Apple Spice also available from Amazon . Even a single occasional bag of apple spice will add a pleasant tangy flavor to the typically (let's admit it) bland green tea flavor.
I'm currently purchasing both products through Amazon's Subscribe and Save. Bigelow products are rarely discounted by local grocers, save the occasional promotion on a specific flavor.
Danielle J. Scott : Great tea, great price. Great deal.
I love this tea! I ordered this item and it came super fast. The boxes were shipped neatly in together in another box and well protected. The price on Amazon is the best price per box I have seen for this brand. I do not like really strong tea and this tea is great for me.
Also note that with green tea, you don't need the water quite as boiling hot as with black tea. Just follow the directions on the box and you will be amazed. It tastes great with honey!
J's Review : This is a BIG order
I was looking to spice up my morning routine by adding some green tea. I love me some green tea in the morning. Anyway, I bought this wonderful product without really reading it as I have used this brand before and I am pretty brand loyal to most things. Holy taquito in a microwave......this was too much green tea. We now have so much green tea, I could open a tea shop with only green tea and still be tea rich for a decade.
Anna : My absolute favorite tea
I love matcha and have read about the benefits of Turmeric so I tried out this tea and it's my all time favorite. It has just the right amount of peppery finish that it needs. I'm not a fan of spice or kick in any food or drink but this just works. Two bags in a 16 ounce cup, steeped for about 8 minutes is my drink of choice every morning.
Green Eyes : Not Bad
Several other customers stated that the tea is not as strong as they expected, therefor they used two tea bags. I encountered the same thing. I used one tea bag and did not taste a full on flavor. So I started using two tea bags.
I made it without honey the first time to judge how much of the flavor I can taste. With two tea bags the flavor was there just not as strong as I am used to. It wasn't a hint of flavor but at the same time it wasn't a full on flavor. I left the tea bags in for a while to see if the tea would taste bitter. Nope, so that was a good thing.
There were tea dregs at the bottom. The tea bags did feel a little flimsy. I dismissed these issues because they weren't deal breakers compared to how much it cost.
Pitt Bull Momma : Box opened
When I opened my carton the peach flavor carton was open and a tea bag was gone. Yes I counted them! I am not going to make a big thing about 1 tea bag but if it happens again I will not order it again. Feel like I am ordering a used product.

Joseph Graham : 2 bags per cup
The price per bag is very good. Also, it's a very nice tasting green tea. But here's the thing, it's not strong enough. However, it's an easy fix. Two bags per cup makes as nice a cup of green tea as I've had anywhere. And it's still a good price.
you can compare the product price from Costco, wayfair, bestbuy, lowes, target, homedepot, Walmart, ebay, amazon to find the best price for you
