Plan Tea: Green Tea

Plan Tea’s Green Tea has the strongest tea flavor of the ones that we sampled. It’s made with a USDA Organic and Fair Trade blend of water, green tea, honey, and citric acid -- the same format used by most of their other flavors. In this particular case, the green tea borders on being grassy, while the added honey provides a note of sweetness only at the drink’s finish. This is the only flavor where we feel that a little more sweetness would be a welcomed addition. In terms of the branding, we think this label, which uses two shades of green, is probably the most forgettable. Still, it’s not bad, it’s just that the other flavors catch your eye more so than this one. Overall, this is an enjoyable green tea, but it’s so simple in flavor that it risks being lumped together with some of the commoditzed offerings that make up the unsweetened green tea category.
