Founded in 1972, 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 still is used to denote anything put away carefully because of its preciousness. Stash Premium Fusion Green and White Tea begins with mutan white (or white peony), which is made from the leaves of the "sai bai" or "big white" bush, and mixed with buds from the "shui hsien" or "water sprite" tea plant. The leaves have silver tips, and are predominantly greenish-brown in color and very flat. The buds are lustrous, soft and silvery. This white tea is blended with sencha green tea from Japan, osmanthus green tea from China, Assam green tea from India, Darjeeling green tea from India, and organic green tea from Sri Lanka. The resulting tea is pale gold in the cup and has a uniquely delicate and smooth flavor. Stash Tea has been committed to providing premium quality teas and an unsurpassed tea drinking experience. Stash begins with simply excellent tea leaves from the world's premier tea gardens and all natural botanical ingredients gathered from around the world. Meticulous blending and tasting of every tea ensures you will enjoy full flavor in every cup. | | | Features: | |

Very good blend of primarily green teaDec 21, 2010
By eec
Both my best friend and I LOVE this tea. Embarrassingly, we are quasi-tea snobs each in our own way. We have tried all forms, brands, etc including the very pricey varieties, and we agreed that for a white/green blend this is perfect. It is not too mild or smooth, nor is it too astringent or bitter. It is a nice golden color with a tempting, soothing aroma. It has good mouth feel - light but not too light. It is very good plain or with some honey.
It contains white, green blend (Chinese, Japanese, Darjeeling and Assam from India, and organic green from Sri Lanka). It is really a very nice tea. Please note that of the teas that are blended into each sachet, only one is organic.

Tastes great both hot and icedMay 30, 2008
By Kurt A. Johnson
The Stash Tea Company was founded in 1972, in Tigard, Oregon, a suburb of Portland, and was originally operated out of a Victorian-style house. But, right from the beginning the company focused on making only premium teas. That commitment to quality has propelled Stash Tea to the position of one of America's largest tea companies.
Among Stash Tea's many infusions is Fusion Green & White Tea. This wonderful tea is a mix of white tea with Japanese green, Chinese green, Assam green, Darjeeling green, and organic green teas. Sounds interesting, no? In fact, this infusion has a subtle scent, and a remarkably smooth taste, with NO bitter aftertaste. Plus, it is chock full of the beneficial antioxidants that everyone is talking about.
I have tried this tea hot and iced, and I love it both ways - yep, I have a new favorite! So, if you are looking for a healthy tea, one that tastes great both hot and iced, then this is the tea for you. I highly recommend this tea to all my fellow tea-drinkers!

Better than decent tea blend, affordable, not top of the lineApr 15, 2009
By A. Dent

The truth is, you almost always get what you are paying for. In the case of this line of teas, you are just a tiny little bit above the average 'value' curve. The Stash Premium teas are not my 'number one' white teas but they are a solid 'number two'. The kind I drink almost like I drink water, several cups a day.
I drink the Green-White (this one) and the 'all-white' versions alternatively for a little variation. They are both good and this combination reminds me that I used to be an all-green tea drinker until some 2-3 years ago when I switched to all-white. Now... I'm in a more moderate mood :)
Oh, I subscribed for one box delivered every other month - check the grocery section if you are interested and the option is not available on this page. This takes another 15% of the price and you get free shipping even when you are under the $25 limit. And you can cancel any time.

 Very nice green tea blend, fine flavor, great valueApr 01, 2007

This tea is good---it is a meld of green and white teas: White tea, Japanese green tea, Chinese green tea, Assam green tea, Darjeeling green tea, and organic green tea from Sri Lanka. It has a mild and interesting taste, and doesn't appear to be as strong in its caffeine effects as some other green or white teas.
I went to Stash's website to find out more about Fusion Green and White and it says that white tea is a very rare and healthful tea, even more so than green tea, containing powerful antioxidants; it is thought that white tea may have the strongest anti-carcinogenic effects of all teas. White tea is not oxidized, but withered and dried by steaming. It is not clear exactly how much white tea is present in this tea compared to all of the greens---I'm thinking there might be far more green than white. Still, it is a fine tea nonetheless.
For a basic green tea, with some extra-healthful white tea added, it is a not-overly-exciting but certainly tasty tea. I would especially recommend it for people new to tea drinking who want to branch out from orange pekoe to something different, and are looking for a gentle introduction to the wide world of teas.
Note that this review is for the bulk packaging of six tea boxes, for an incredible Amazon price break!
