Taster’s Review:
Thanks to an amazing Steepster tea pal, I was able to try this one and I’m so glad I was. I have been impressed by the teas I’ve had from Nepali Tea Traders and I am looking forward to trying more.
This tea is a delicious green tea. Vibrant with a gorgeous color. There is a distinct vegetal profile but there are also hidden notes of sweetness that appear in every other sip or so.
What I think I love the most are the smooth rich velvet rich mouthfeel (just like the description of the tea) you get with every sip. The tea coats your mouth giving off such a warm and fuzzy feeling. This is one of those teas you drink while you are cuddled with your favorite book and blanket on a rainy day.
This is a tea that I can’t wait to share with the twins. They have been really getting into tea lately!

Taster’s Review:
I really like the Paper Box Goodies tea. They are no fuss no nonsense sort of teas. They are all bagged teas but they are done very well.
This particular blend is a green tea. A crisp fresh green tea with a honey and slight citrus twist. I steeped this up like I would any traditional green tea with the help of my Breville One Touch. I love using my Breville to prep the water. that way there is no guessing on the correct temperature.
So with a name like Easy Bein’ Green, I instantly think Kermit. Such fond memories of watching The Muppet’s when I was a kid and still to this day I enjoy them. I’m so excited for the new Muppet’s series to come out. Gonzo and the Swedish Chef were my favorites. I loved how the Swedish Chef mumbled everything and threw everything around. Such great memories. And all from a name of a tea.
Like I noted before, this green tea was fantastic. I drank this iced and hot and I actually think I prefer this hot. The green buttery richness was on target with want I wanted and there was such a nice honey background. The citrus twist would come and go but brought a bit of a different feel to the tea, giving a uniqueness to it. I’m not sure I got orange from the tea like the description would suggest but just an overall citrus note.
I honestly can say that after the cuppa was empty, I promptly refilled with more water and had myself another cuppa. This tea was good. Spot on. And just all around perfect for what I was wanting. Paper Box Goodies excels at providing their customers with no mess teas, something I’m in need of right now.
