Worst bottled tea I ever tasted.

I don't know why there are so many 5 star reviews. This is the worst bottled iced tea I ever tasted. I thought I had gotten a bad bottle so I tried it again. Still terrible. It tastes very unnatural, as if it contains chemicals. Hmm.  I suggest Gold Peak, Honest Tea, or Tazo. Or make your own.

I enjoy the occasional tea, and am a fan of organic foods. This lemon ginseng tea tastes like neither. I'm sure it's very healthy, but the taste and consistency makes you feel like you just swallowed a mouthful of 409. The fruity lemon aftertaste isn't enough to offset the very 'non-tea' flavor. Davidson's brand makes several flavors, and maybe some of the other flavored teas are better, I don't know. But this lemon ginseng flavor is awful stuff. Unless you're a hardcore tea aficionado I'd steer clear of this one.

Just about the worst sip of tea i've ever had. Probably half my fault because I expected this to be a black tea. But ouch.

Regrettably this tea has no aroma,taste horrible. It taste like metal,compare to the other chinese and taiwanese oolong tea I purchased before. I purchased the premium foojoy not the classic one thinking it would be better,but i was wrong. First and last time. Waste of money, I would not recommend.

Very weak flavor. I tried using two tea bags, but that just made it taste worse. I'm not sure why these have such high reviews. I even tried giving the rest of the tin away to a coworker and she didn't like them either (same complaints). Don't be lured in by the 50 bags of tea unless you're going for quantity over quality.

I've had better luck with other brands, so I'll stick with those

I would give this tea negative stars if I could.  I was interested in trying a Matcha Tea, so tried this.  It gave me an instant migrane both times I tried it and tastes obscene besides.  The flavor of stevia is so strong it's absurd.  Matcha is, by the way, the last ingredient in the tea - behind 12 other things, including licorice root, which I suspect is the cause of the migraine - it spikes blood pressure.  (Or maybe the stevia, which doesn't in my opinion belong in a tea.)  Anyway, shame on Good Earth.  I would return the rest of the box for a refund, but it's hardly worth it - I think I'll burn it instead.

I'm not sure how this got anything other than a 1 star review. HEAVY preservative taste and entirely too thick. Worst bottled product Ive ever had (and I normally love Stonewall Kitchen products).

I would give it fewer than 1 star if I could. I made them all tonight to taste test them and they all smelled awful and tasted really weak. Most of them smelled like medicine. Now Im sad that I have 10 more of these tea bags lying around.

ugh I took a drink of this expecting cool crisp water but it has a nasty "sour" type taste I can't even describe, I bought it because it was in the top ten best bottled waters list.  I didn't realize when buying it that it was "sparkling water" so maybe that is the problem I don't know but I almost vomited from the 1st taste (after I chilled it) and put the rest of the bottle in the big refrigerator for my mom to drink if she's so inclined but I'll never touch it again.

This tastes nothing like the Gan Mao Cha tea I ordered before. In fact I can't even drink it because it tastes like tea mixed with insect repellent. It's just awful & it was a waste of my money.

Maybe it was just the bottle I got, but it was one of the worse things I have ever tasted. The about of salt, over took everything. I've eaten Satay from many places in South East Asia, and none tasted like this! If this is what bottles sauce tastes like, I'll go back to making my own.

First off, I usually don't write reviews on amazon but given that I feel so strongly I need to warn others. I'm an avid tea drinker and am always looking for new varieties/brands to try. I picked up this one at a local store as it was on sale and looked appetizing. It's advertised as "Organic" and "Premium" in a cute, presentable packaging. To put it bluntly, this is one of the worst teas I've tried in a long time. It's tasteless no matter how long you brew it. There's no aroma to it and it tastes like water. I've checked the expiration and it's got a good 2 years to go so it's not due to prolonged storage. Whatever it is, this tea is worthless and it might be organic but it sure isn't quality.

OMG this was the worst stuff I have ever had in my life. The closest thing I can compare the taste to is the time I accidentally drank from a cup someone was spitting snuff chewing tobacco in.

I've picked up a few varieties of these at a local World Market store - I was happy because they were really cheap - around two dollars a pack. They were nasty. If you take a look at the zoom on the box, you quickly find out why - these are made in Taiwan, not Japan. These might appeal to folks who are used to Taiwanese or Chinese versions of mochi, but if you are looking for Japanese mochi (as stated on the package), you will be disappointed.

I could not finish a single piece of this stuff, it was just nasty. The mochi was the wrong texture and tasted like plastic. The green tea *smelled* - there's no other way to describe it.

A very strong DO NOT BUY from me.

This is the worst tasting tea EVER!!! I was under the impression that this is the tea Cheesecake Factory uses but it tastes nothing like it. It tastes like chemicals mixed with soap. Don't waste your money!!

Even using two tea bags, the tea tasted like hot water.  A waste of money.  You are much better off buying fresh ginger and cutting it up for a boil.

This was horrible!
The honey was highly crystallized, very cloudy, tasted foul and almost fermented.
As soon as I opened it I thought it was a bit off because it smelt bad but as soon as i tasted it I was so disappointed.
