I got this Bigelow green tea as a Christmas present from a well meaning gifter. The first thing you notice when you see the Bigelow tea container is how classy and clean the white tin container is. Once you open the container it has plastic pouches of four tea bags to preserve freshness I assume. Having run out of my normal green tea stash I broke in to this tin a few days ago, and haven’t been whole heartedly satisfied by the product. However I haven’t been disappointed by this tea either. The tea bags themselves seem to hold less leafy goodness than I’m used to, which causes the finished steep tea to lack some flavor and potency. The flavor itself its fairly typical run of the mill green tea. Nothing about this tea makes me hate it or love it, it doesn’t stand out for its flavor. if this tea was a cereal it might be a generic brand of cheerios. You know what you’re getting and it comes close to meeting expectations but something just isn’t there. I give Bigelow’s green tea a 6/10 Flavor- 6/10 Aroma- 4/10 Presentation- 8/10
