Not the same

My hand was forced to buy this updated version of Zen tea as Tazo no longer makes the original (non-regenerative?) option. The new version is a flat, bland tea without the refreshing taste of spearmint or lemongrass. They're still on the ingredients list, sure, but the lemon is the only flavor that is noticeable in this updated tea. Blech!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While I'm all for fair trade and organic goods, the flavor of the current Organic Zen tea is very lack luster. Flavor is very mild. It's not bad, it's just not the same. The old Zen was my very favorite tea. I grow my own lemon grass and lemon verbena. I may need to just add my own herbs to get its original flavor back.
Since they switched from regular to organic the tea has lost much of the original taste. Also, a brown ring forms around my teacup when steeping. Never had this before. Bring the old Zen back
After many years of enjoying this tea I have to stop buying it. It's nothing what the original was! Tastes nothing like Zen I loved. Why would someone decide to 'improve' a perfect product just puzzles me. And that's the collective opinion judging by reviews on many sites. Very unfortunate decision. Oh well...
The old plain Zen Green Tea had a minty flavor and this is all lemony. I do not like it at all. I can no longer find the plain Zen at local stores. I sure hope you did not discontinue it for this. I will not buy this and it took me a while to figure it out what had happened but I see now that it’s got Organic in the name
“Regenerative Organic Zen Green” is not anywhere as good as the original “Zen”. Please bring back the original Zen in tea bags.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
