My quest to find THE perfect green tea led me to 'Bigelow'. A big name in the tea industry.I steeped a Japanese green tea (Sencha) in one clear glass mug and Bigelow's in another glass mug.Rules: allow the boiling water to sit for 4 min. Then gently steep for 4 min. Place onto a large pure white table top.The difference was dramatic. The Bigelow's green tea looked brown next to the Sencha tea.The taste was just as dramatic. Bitter initial flavor with a dull harsh after taste vs. A Smooth consistent green tea flavor. I repeated this 3 weeks later with a different batch of Bigelow's. Same difference.So if it's GREEN tea your looking for - Bigelow's is not the one.

R.C. Bigelow, Inc. was begun in 1945 by Ruth Campbell Bigelow, a tea connoisseur who wanted to offer even more taste opportunities to American tea drinkers. Among the teas that Bigelow presents is their wonderful Green Tea. Green tea is now very popular, due to its antioxidants and other health benefits.Overall, I found this to be an excellent hot tea, with a wonderful smell and taste. But, that's not all: Bilgelow's Green Tea also makes a great iced tea! So, if you are looking for a delicious and healthy green tea, one that tastes great hot and cold, then get this one! I highly recommend it. (By the way, check out the interesting recipes on Bigelow's website!)
