Great Tea, Amazing Value
By D. M. Seeley
This has to be one of the best bargains on green tea ever. No, it’s not a high-end gourmet tea – but it’s not intended to be. What it IS, is a terrific everyday green tea. Mellow, slightly earthy, and very pleasant on the palate. Second brewing yields a good cup, as well. As with every Davidson’ tea I’ve ordered, the quality of the leaves was wonderful, with very little dust, or stems. It’s obvious that they care about their product, and it shows. The origin is not stated, but who cares? The tea is just fine.

EDIT: I recently received my third order of this tea, and this batch was, quite simply, awful. The bag was mis-labeled, and is not green tea. As we immediately store tea in sealed containers when it arrives, I do not have the original packaging, and can’t return it (thank heavens it was inexpensive). I have had great luck with Davidson’s in the past, and assume that this was a fluke mistake, but, BE CAREFUL TO CHECK THE CONTENTS!

It’s Okay Gunpowder Green…
By Avid Camper
Perhaps I received a “bad” batch, because I found this tea to have a significant amount of dirt and debris. I found sand-like grit, black and slightly metallic-looking flecks (not in anyway related to the tea) and so far, one piece of some sort of fuzz-like fiber and some other cork-like debris. I did not expect this. As for the taste, it’s okay; not our favorite gunpowder green, but for the price, the taste was acceptable. Although, we felt it’s a little too smokey, bitter and not enough “grassy”. I think this would be a good tea mixed with other things, such as mint. A little of this goes a long way. I’m not sure if I’d order this brand again, perhaps one more try sometime in the future. Hope this helps!

This isn’t gunpowder green tea
By Eugene Dimarsky
I like tea, in fact I like it a lot. I’ve had some good gunpowder green tea in the past from adagio as well as Twinnings and it is a beautiful thing. You put what look like little BBs of green tea into your cup or teapot, add the water, and you can see the tea practically explode into nearly full size leaves of tea (hence the name).

Davidson’s tea disappoints. The tea leaves really don’t expand much which tells me they weren’t really rolled the way gunpowder green tea is supposed to be. This tea also lacks flavor (at least compared to the other gunpowder green teas I’ve tried). I used the same amount to brew the same cup of tea I’ve been enjoying with Twinnigs and frankly the Davidson’s version tasted more like hot water than green tea. This may be because the leaves aren’t as compacted as a proper gunpowder green tea so the same tablespoon of tea now has less actual mass of tea leaves, it could be because this tea has a lower quality tea leaf in it, heck it could be because this is an old batch of tea for all I know.

The point of this review is to say that this tea was a complete waste of money. I am sorry to say I paid for an entire pound of it. I will try it once or twice more, but if the results remain the same I will likely have to throw out the rest of the bag and that would just make me sad because it would mean that I’ve wasted both money and tea.

I have added a photo of the actual tea I received (compare it to that in the original product photos and you’ll see a huge difference). Mine is the one that does not look like it is magically hanging in the air and defying gravity.

TL;DR version: Don’t buy this tea. It isn’t really gunpowder green tea and is not worth your money.

Fantastic device – pick your Kindle!
By Amazonoholic
Having been a little overwhelmed by the choices between all the new Kindles and which one to get, I ordered this new basic $79 Kindle first to take for a spin. So far, I like what I see. I also own a Kindle 3 so that’s the only device I can really compare it to at this time (I think a comparison between other tablets and this Kindle is meaningless, this device is all about content and delivery):
