Loose Leaf Green Tea tastes far better compared to green tea brewed by a tea bag.
As stated on the general "green tea informational page" of this site, brewing this tea utilizing this method will reveal many notes and fantastic flavors that green tea is noted for. Now while it is true that some varieties may seem grassy or vegetal and may be a slight turn-off at first, this does not last long, and your palate will open up to it after a few cups. Once it does, that grassy flavor becomes "sweet" and mellow revealing the true side of green tea!
Below are varieties that I have enjoyed thus far. As always, please do not hesitate to contact me with your comments and opinions for posting on this site regarding any of the below green teas.
Thank You And Enjoy!
