   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!

   It’s Okay Gunpowder Green…, October 28, 2009

   Perhaps I received a “bad” batch, because I found this tea to have a significant amount of dirt and debris. I found sand-like grit, black and slightly metallic-looking flecks (not in anyway related to the tea) and so far, one piece of some sort of fuzz-like fiber and some other cork-like debris. I did not expect this. As for the taste, it’s okay; not our favorite gunpowder green, but for the price, the taste was acceptable. Although, we felt it’s a little too smokey, bitter and not enough “grassy”. I think this would be a good tea mixed with other things, such as mint. A little of this goes a long way. I’m not sure if I’d order this brand again, perhaps one more try sometime in the future. Hope this helps!

   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!
