Is the tea greenish or brown when brewed? I've read if it is brown then it is low quality and not giving the benefits it should.

I drank it once and don't remember because poured from steel container into cup and I had brewed it longer than usual. Wasn't paying attention.What I can tell you is that despite fact that it is caffeine free and organic, you might feel some acid if you are sensitive to it and have acid reflux. Decaf coffee usually gets rid of most acid and same for green tea. But some acid is still there.

It's more of a gold with a greenish tinge. I've had greenish green teas, too - but none that have tasted as good as Bigelow. I hope this helps.

I brew a large pitcher of iced tea each week, the color is kind of gold with some brown and I think that the flavor is very good. Bigelow tea Company has a good reputation. I hope this helps.

Just got my new package today, it's NOT 100% green tea anymore. It now says organic powdered green and black tea! What?!?

Hi Michael, I honestly don't know how to answer your question other than telling you that the ingredients of the packagematch all the requirements of the pages i researched to understand the authenticity of the matcha.Also being a first time user of this type of green tea i can tell you that it is a pleasant tea with a very nice effect as far as the good feeling a quality tea can bring.I hope this helps a little.john

Guayusa makes great kombucha. Since it has zero tannins it's kind of an anomaly. My suggestion would be to make a separate brew with guayusa and brew it strong before fermenting. If you notice the culture has a hard time fermenting the guayusa, make another batch with black tea and guayusa mixed together and try that out.

This is green rooibos tea which is a process of a being the unoxidized 'green' rooibos derived from the red rooibos tea which is a reddish/brown when brewed. Hope that helps.

I just bought it recently and love it. It's brown not grey. I see more green but my partner says its brown. Guess I'm a little color blind.

Yes, it is greenish blue. I bought this couple months ago.Source(s):I bought this couple of months ago ANDI am not color blind :-)

It says that on the ingredients, but I'm not sure why... However it is an EXCELLENT tea.I would say that to get any benefits from the Kombucha out of it, you would have to do a cold brew on this tea, as adding this tea bag(s) to boiling water would ruin/kill that benefit.I use this tea as the "green" tea portion of my Kombucha tea recipe (4-black, 3-green, 1C sugar, 3Qt water) This tea both tastes and smells amazingly good!!!

No it is definitely brown but looks great! I think they have one in Espresso too. You just have to find it on the website. I hope this helps.

My first brew was cloudy, but after that I don't recall having any cloudy issues. It IS a dark tea; kind of like a thick microbrew beer as opposed to a Bud Lite, this tea is dark as opposed to a pre-wrapped commercial tea bag.

Depends on your preference but I find I need to let it sit a bit. My daughter-in-law who is form the UK and our family tea expert says it is just right for brewing tea. She does add a bit of milk so that cools it some.

I love it too! Unfortunately it doesn't have any actual tea leaves in it, so you'd have to blend it with something that does. I make it with the tazo passion "tea" mixed with a green tea that has mango. It turns out great every time. The passion "tea" will dye your scoby, but I haven't noticed this to be detrimental.

I've experienced very minimal staining of the clear part after over a year of nearly daily use. Sometimes I'm lazy about rinsing it out right away, which I'm sure is why. The filter portion on mine has not stained. If you want to take the leaves out, you'd be better off just pouring it into a different container. I usually drink my tea fast enough, I don't have issues with over brewing. Overall, yes, I like it and am happy I bought it.

The color is light tan/beige. I dyed mine with tea bags and they came out a very acceptable pale brown. Laundering did not remove the color from the teabags.

Short answer: yes. Longer answer: i am trying it literally as I am typing this since that idea never came to me. the tea is very light in color so in the future i might mix it with other tea(s). But it does taste good. No off-notes of any kind

I wasn't under the impression green tea was ever eaten. I have not tried eating it and I'm not sure it would taste good eaten. However brewing it to drink as tea it is quite delicious.

You still need compost to brew the tea but it will add to the healthy biology of the tea. A little goes a long way!
