 Great Tea, Amazing Value |

This has to be one of the best bargains on green tea ever. No, it's not a high-end gourmet tea - but it's not intended to be. What it IS, is a terrific everyday green tea. Mellow, slightly earthy, and very pleasant on the palate. Second brewing yields a good cup, as well. As with every Davidson' tea I've ordered, the quality of the leaves was wonderful, with very little dust, or stems. It's obvious that they care about their product, and it shows. The origin is not stated, but who cares? The tea is just fine.
EDIT: I recently received my third order of this tea, and this batch was, quite simply, awful. The bag was mis-labeled, and is not green tea. As we immediately store tea in sealed containers when it arrives, I do not have the original packaging, and can't return it (thank heavens it was inexpensive). I have had great luck with Davidson's in the past, and assume that this was a fluke mistake, but, BE CAREFUL TO CHECK THE CONTENTS! |
Good tea, excellent price!

| Product was as described, and arrive quickly and in excellent condition. Flavor is good, but not great, a little more smoky and less grassy than I would have preferred. Overall a good product, at a great price!!! |
What a deal!

| Awesome value AND an awesome tea. Much more robust than a traditional green tea, as gunpowder teas ought to be, with a slightly smokey/toasty flavor. I dunno what 'grade' it is, but what matters is that it's delicious. Don't hesitate. |
You get what you pay for, and more.

| This is pretty good tea! It's not the best gunpowder green that I've ever had, but it is certainly a bang for your buck for the price. Someone previously said that it's a good "everyday" tea, and I 100% agree with this. It's good, it's almost great, but it's not a tea that I would anticipate curling up with in a blanket on a cold evening and savoring the experience. It's just a good cup of organic green tea. I'm still so pleased with it and the price--you can't beat that! Buy it! |
Excellent deal; very good tea

I'm not a connoisseur of fine teas. But, I do enjoy my tea, and gunpowder green has been a favorite of mine. A big problem, though, is trying to find it. There is a tea store near by that is very expensive. If you buy 2 oz or more, it's $4.00 an oz. Too expensive. I finally found a couple of health food stores where it ranges in price from about 70 to 85 cents an oz, but it is such a hassle to drive there; and too many times they're out. I've found it on-line, but the shipping costs haven't made it such a good deal.
Well, with the "subscription" purchase, this is a great deal. It's cheaper than anywhere I've found it, at $10.20 a pound or less than 64 cents an oz. And I love that 48 hrs after placing the order, the post office delivered it to my house.
So, the big test, then, is how is the tea? Well, like I said, I'm not a connoisseur, but I do enjoy Davidson's Gunpowder Green. It's as good as any that I've bought. Since the stores where I have been buying it are anywhere from 10 to 25 miles away, and not even near anywhere I normally go, I can say that I have found my new source for tea. I would recommend it if you're looking for a great deal on a very good tea. |
Great Tea

| This is great full flavored gunpowder, be sure to follow the brewing directions - oversteeping should never be permitted. Well worth the price for organic tea - love it. |
Great Tasting Tea, Very Economical

| This is an unbelievable deal. For the same price as the mystery cube o' leaves you find at Asian grocers or internet vendors, you get a full pound of Organic leaves. The Gunpowder Green has a hint of citrus, a hint of nuttiness, but most importantly, it tastes clean. You don't have to worry about undoing the health benefits of green tea with heavy metals or other pollutants in non-organic products. The 16 Oz. bag lasted me over two months with several strong cups per day. I highly recommend this tea. |
