Ingredients: Lotus - Naturally decaffeinated green tea, natural lotus flower flavor
Om - Organic darjeeling green and black teas and natural flavors of cucumber and peach
Zen - Green tea, lemon verbena, spearmint leaves, lemongrass and natural flavors
Opinion: Lotus - This had a very pleasant, flowery scent and brewed to a nice amber color. Not a lot of zip to this, but if you are looking for a subtle tea to sip, try this. Very light and clean, best to drink by itself.
Om - Cucumber?! What was I thinking? You couldn't even taste the peach. It wasn't even a cucumber taste, just oddly grassy-mysterious vegetable flavor and scent. And what an odd aftertaste! No matter what I added. I dumped it down the drain.
Zen - This is the green iced tea Starbucks sells. I love this iced. I was curious to try it hot. I was not that impressed. It was, Okaaayyy. I have so many other teas (understatement) which I like better hot than this. Iced, it is still a winner!
Rating: Lotus - 3
Om - 0
Zen - 4 - iced, 2 - hot
