Product Description
An enlightening blend of exotic green teas, spearmint, and rare herbs.
Tazo was created for one purpose: to reinvent tea and the tea experience. By using high quality ingredients and a tremendous amount of experience and creativity, Tazo has produced unique products that create an emotional connection with the consumer at many levels. Tazo continues to expose consumers to the ancient traditions of tea, but presents this in a way that is bold, interesting and intriguing.
Unlike other tea companies, Tazo purchases teas in their original container as packed at the garden to ensure the tea inside the chest or bag stays garden fresh and is not exposed to the heat and moisture in a blending facility at one of the tea shipping points.
The blending process is a very subtle art form that relies on subjective measurement of taste, color and aroma. Tazo constantly taste and determine which teas will go in which blend in what percentage, so flavor profiles remain consistent and of the highest quality possible.
The name Tazo has roots in many civilizations. Tazo actually means "river of life" in the Romany Gypsy language and was used as a toast to life by ancient Greeks. Tazo also means "fresh" in several Hindi dialects. In ancient Babylonia, Tazo was a rejuvenating elixir thought to have magical properties.
Tazo is kosher certified by KSA.

Subtle, Mild, Enjoyable Green Tea
By O. Brown
****Tazo's Zen Green Tea with Lemongrass & Spearmint has a subtle, mild, light green tea taste, not bitter at all. I don't taste any of the additional flavors Tazo puts into this tea; maybe my palate isn't developed to this point. However, it still is one of their better teas, and has less of an artificial taste than the others I've tried. Maybe the flavorings are just too mild in this tea, but when it comes to flavorings, I prefer them this way; I like a natural, real taste with real ingredients sans vague "natural flavors" and sans flavorings, sans essences, etc. It is not a strong green tea, so it would definitely appeal to people who enjoy herbal infusions and milder teas.The ingredients in Zen are: green teas, lemon verbena, spearmint, lemongrass, and natural flavors. Zen contains caffeine.Tazo is an interesting company that makes only super premium teas. They are socially responsible, based in Portland, and have the motto, "The Reincarnation of Tea". Tazo is owned by Starbucks. Their web site is fun and quirky, with a Zen-type focus, definitely worth checking out. It is unclear, though, from their web site, how many of their ingredients are organic or kosher, and they do use some "natural flavors" in their teas--this wording seems a little vague for a super premium tea.On the paper tea packet, Tazo writes, "an enlightening blend of the finest green teas and rare herbs available in this world." On their web site, Tazo describes the flavor profile of Zen as "smooth, lemony, earthy, refreshing". Tazo describes the aroma as "lemon, mint". The web site also says, "Select pan-fired green tea from Zhejiang province in China, artfully combined with lemongrass, spearmint and a hint of lemon essence. Zen's distinct green tea flavor accented with lemon and mint is impossible to express in words. Best simply to experience its sweet, lingering aftertaste." I don't taste the lemon or the mint or the sweetness; still, it is a nice green tea. It is relaxing and enjoyable to drink.I would rate this tea, and Tazo in general, as very good---better than premium teas like Stash or Celestial Seasonings.Recommended.****

The best tea you can find!
By ANT
When I used to work at the campus pub, one of the most requested items was this tea. It started with one or two people having colds, needing a tea, and all we happened to have on hand was the Tazo. What a smart decision by our managers to purchase this product! It caught on like nothing else had there! Soon, we were serving more tea than beer!
From a personal standpoint, however, I can attest to its flavor and qualities. It is the best tea I have ever had the pleasure to drink myself. The Zen flavor is no exception. I would highly recommend that you try out all of them (or at least as many as you can) and decide on your own personal Tazo, as the myriad of blends can be a bit overwhelming. Zen is probably the best green tea I have tried, though. It's one of my personal favorites.
The price really is a bargain. I've compared in grocery stores and you're better off buying the 6 count dispenser (144 bags in total). Trust me, you will definitely drink that much tea. During the summer months, it makes a truly unique and exceptionally tasty iced tea as well and in the winter with a little honey and lemon, it's a perfect suppressant of cold symptons (I would still claim there is no CURE for a cold yet). Drink in good health and enjoy!
