Premium Green Decaf

I had a hankering for some green tea, but alas it is after 8pm so I thought I’d give this one a try. The smell was very nice when I opened it’s little foil sachet. After it was steeped I added a little bit of agave and skim milk.
The first sip taste like nothing, like warm milk. But the second sip got a little bolder with a quite pleasant after taste. I was pleasantly surprised by this decaf.

I was looking for a decaf green tea, but wasn’t real hopeful, since most decafs I’ve tried have been pretty weak and somewhat flavorless. This one was a pleasant surprise. It’s like a decaffeinated gunpowder green, and there’s some real oomph in the flavor. Recommended!

I’m not a fan of green teas in general, but this one had barely any flavor at all. Maybe because it’s a bagged tea, maybe because it’s decaf. Or maybe it’s just me not liking green teas. I only had a few sips, didn’t even attempt to finish it.

Part of my Stash Assortment. Green tea is too bitter.

I really don’t like this tea very much. But it is decaf, so it makes a nice base for homemade bubble tea. Instead, I brought this to work and drank it straight because I just wanted to get rid of it. It was slightly bitter, lightly grassy, but not super flavourful. It tastes like a grocery store green tea but less full bodied and rich than some better quality types. Not much to report.

This was fairly good, and different from most green teas I’ve had.

I would consider this decaf green very different from Stash’s Premium Green(caffeinated). It has a very astringent taste under the tongue. By astringent, I mean it has a very lemony effect under the tongue. It is great in the evening when you want a green tea, but do not want the caffeine. Just do not expect it to be like the regular Premium Green.
