Product Description
Founded in 1972, Stash Tea company originally operated out of an old Portland victorian style house, supplying loose herbal teas and bulk herbs to natural food stores. Starting in 1975, the company broadened its focus to include bagged teas and then began to sell a full line of traditional, specialty blend and herbal teas directly to fine restaurants and through a mail order catalog to consumers. Today, stash tea company is one of the largest specialty tea companies in the united states. The company derives its name from an entertaining aspect of tea folklore. In earlier centuries, tea was a valuable commodity traditionally transported by clipper ship. The ship's captain often was presented with some of the finest teas for his personal use. This supply was his "Stash," stowed carefully as his "private reserve." Today, the term is still used to denote anything put away carefully because of its preciousness.

"...We found the Pos Tea to be... green tea! ...flavor good, and pretty much as expected from other "green tea" experience, including from Stash itself..." Read more
"...The flavor is amazing and the packing is double sealed! I transfer mine to another container, but you easily use this." Read more
"...I prefer the loose tea over the tea bags. Lovely bergamot taste and scent." Read more
"Smells and tastes great, but the excellent taste is transient- best if used when freshly steeped." Read more
Customers like the quality of the tea. For example, they say it's good quality tea leaves, not powdery, and makes a really incredible cup. Some say the bergamot is a bit overpowering, but overall, they're happy with the tea's quality. That said, some say it makes iced tea and is unique.
"Good quality tea leaves, not powdery. But the bergamot is a bit overpowering...." Read more

"...it's a great amount of actual tea for the price. Very satisfying look, smell and taste. 4.5/5 taste, 5/5 smell..." Read more
"...It’s has the perfectly smooth taste yet strong enough, It does not disappoint ! It takes little to make that perfect cup." Read more
Customers like the value of the tea. They say it's a great value at under $20/pound, a reasonable price doesn't hurt, and it'll last you forever. It's also a good balance of quality and price, and is good for everyday drinking over ice.
"...Very good price for the quantity." Read more
"...It tastes delicious, super aroma and very smooth....and a super price too! :)" Read more
"Smells so good! And tastes good. Great price for the big bag of green tea." Read more
"...This batch was extremely high quality, very flavorful, and relatively well priced. Far better than anything in tea bag form...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the color of the tea. Some mention that it has a much better scent, was darker with the oil of bergamot, and tasted terrific, while others say that the brew can be a bit bitter and quite dark for "Green" tea. The Jasmine essence is upfront and prominent, and you can definitely taste the green tea too. It's perfect black, or with a little milk or creamer. However, some say that it's very much not subtle, but rather "in your face".
"...The brewed tea has a strong brown color and a rather faint smell of bergamot. The taste of the tea is, well, unexciting and unassertive...." Read more
"...The flavor is exceptional; if you like strong, bold, flavorful tea then this is the earl grey for you...." Read more
"...no, we beg to differ, it is very much not subtle, but rather "in your face". Not only that, but......" Read more
"...I get hints of banana in this tea and it actually pairs well with some earl grey...." Read more
Customers like the freshness of the tea. They say it's smooth, bold, and extremely fresh. The packaging keeps it fresh for a long time, and the resealable plastic bag keeps it from drying out. Some customers also mention that the black tea itself looks fresh and good, and that the date on the bag seems fresh.
"Fresh and tasty" Read more
"...The bag is easily resealable and keeps the tea fresh...." Read more
"...The product was fresh, aromatic, and of excellent quality—exactly what I have come to expect from Stash...." Read more
"...Today, 12/13/23 I received my bag of tea, but it is not fresh, the expiration date is 01/03/24...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the smoke in the tea. Some mention the aroma is amazing, while others say that it's overpowering.
"Smells and tastes great, but the excellent taste is transient- best if used when freshly steeped." Read more
"...of the package we received, which speaks of the "lingering subtle, smokey note"...." Read more
"I really like the smell and taste of this tea. It has a light floral flavor and I use more of this loose tea than most others when I brew a pot." Read more
"The blend of Jasmine and Green Tea is delightful tasting and smelling." Read more
Customers are mixed about the strength of the tea. Some mention that it has a perfectly smooth taste yet is strong enough, perfect for a morning caffeine jolt. However, others say that it is not strong enough. The leaves are large and intact, not crumbles like they've seen in other brands. The tea is a lot and will last a long time. However some say that the first cup was far too weak using recommended amount, and that the tea is broken very finely and as such it should not sit in hot water.
"...This tastes almost identical to it, but a bit more robust, and has now been my regular order! The flavor is amazing and the packing is double sealed!..." Read more
"...This gives it a strong punch instead of relying on flavor from whole spices...." Read more
"I only let this tea steep for 2-3 minutes and it still comes out way too strong. Quality seems kind of cheap to be honest." Read more
"I enjoy the stronger bergamot flavor of this tea. Stronger than most bergamot teas and I find it more flavorful than any other I have tried.." Read more
Customers are mixed about the size of the tea. Some mention that it's a great amount of actual tea for the price, it' s huge, and a teaspoonful is perfect. However, others say that the tea leaves are too small, the high quantity of stems and twigs ruin the tea, and they waste a lot of bag space.
"...it's a great amount of actual tea for the price. Very satisfying look, smell and taste. 4.5/5 taste, 5/5 smell..." Read more

Fer the last time! ...this is about Stash Gunpowder, ASIN B006E9PPCE.
This is embarrassing... but continuing to drink this tea, and researching the bit about "smoky" gunpowder tea, turns out it is a common, normal thing... just something we didn't know about.
And in that light - despite being so startled the first time - we'll give it its due, for those who favor smoky.
However, comparing it once again (see below) head-to-head with the Absolutely Tea non-smoky gunpowder, we ourselves will stick to that, the non-smoky.
5 stars... enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[update]
Once again, this is about Stash Gunpowder, ASIN B006E9PPCE.
Let's see here... in several days now, we have indeed gotten used to it - somewhat! - have made our peace with it, and we'll drink it to the bitter end! :-) We won't buy it again. In retrospect, the problem was the shock of expecting "green tea" and getting "smoky" tea. (As we noted in the first round, "smoky" is on the label as displayed... but it is not in the text description (at least *was* not, in case you read this and it has changed), and we missed it on the label.)
Still, however, brown not "green", in-your-face not "distant" or "subtle"...
Three stars... enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is about Stash Gunpowder, ASIN B006E9PPCE.
First of all, we should say that we don't know what star rating to put on it - the one star is ours, but others might actually go for it, who knows?!
Commenting here on our first cup - might we get used to it? - but right now, the question is whether we will continue to use it at all...
(1) No mention is made in the Amazon blurb about what is on the label of the package we received, which speaks of the "lingering subtle, smokey note". Not being tea connoisseurs, we won't pretend to be such - but "subtle"?! - no, we beg to differ, it is very much not subtle, but rather "in your face". Not only that, but...
(2) ...the "brewing instructions" on the back of the package say "use one level teaspoon of loose tea per cup", and "brew 3-5 minutes". We used considerable less than that, a slightly rounded 1/2 tsp (about 2/3 tsp, by repeated measurement), and about 2 minutes - with the strong result as noted in (1).
(3) The label on our package has rather different text from the label shown on Amazon, the latter of which says (at least at this moment) "light body and a distant smoky, spicy flavor" - about which, see (1) - "light"? "distant"??? ...not!...
(4) The online blurb also says "dark green", about which we also beg to differ - what we received today, brewed as we said above, resulted in a rather dark brown color, very clear, yes, but not very attractive, in our opinion, as compared with other green tea products.
(5) In the same Amazon order - and trying at the same time, side by side - we bought the similarly described Positively Tea product ASIN B00SRTD2SI. (The Stash Gunpowder, dry, looks a bit prettier!) We found the Pos Tea to be... green tea! ...flavor good, and pretty much as expected from other "green tea" experience, including from Stash itself, their Green Tea product ASIN B006LXKK46! (That, however, as other reviewers have noted, and we agree, is not very attractive in its physical form, some commenting "only dust", whereas ours just had "a lot of dust".)
Your mileage may vary! :-)
The the dry leaves definitely have a citrusy bergamot aroma, but it's fairly timid, given that the description claims "This tea is made for Earl Grey lovers who want an extra strong, bold bergamot flavour." I bought it because of this description, as I like strong Earl Grey.
The brewed tea has a strong brown color and a rather faint smell of bergamot. The taste of the tea is, well, unexciting and unassertive. It's like it could not decide whether it wanted to be a true Earl Grey or just a black tea with a hint of citrus, and then decided to play it safe by going for the undefined identity crisis. I will say that the tea has a vague note of Christmas in it, which is a nice touch.
Nevertheless, all in all, I find this tea disappointing, as was expecting a strong Earl Grey, as promised in the description.
