Due to its obvious health benefits, I have attempted to drink green tea on countless occasions over the last five years but failed in almost every instance until discovering this brand. Zen tea is very mild and is absent of the bite and bitterness found in other green teas. Hopefully, it provides the same anti-oxidant advantages as its peers. I usually buy mine at the grocery store and they are not any more expensive than boxes of Twinings. Zen tea was, and is, a pleasant surprise.
