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 Tea introduces a unique Powdered Iced Green Tea made from whole green tea leaves. We start with premium Japanese Sencha Green tea leaves and then grind them into a fine powder. We then add a touch of pure cane sugar to bring out a just-right touch of sweetness to this tea. Just add to cold water and stir, no brewing needed. Since the entire tea leaf is consumed, you get more of the green tea's healthy antioxidants. Plus you can add the powder to cold bottled water for a convenient and good-for-you beverage. Note: Since this product is made from powdered green tea leaves and is not instant, some green tea may be present in the bottom of the glass. Stir well or shake before serving. 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: | |

 great alternative to bottled green teaOct 03, 2008
By Jeffrey R. Ballard
The first part of this review is a history of my health problems and what green tea bottles and sugar had to do with me finding the stash teas products. If you do not want to read that part, skip down to the bottom, and there is the review of the stash teas, only.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A couple of years ago I had a physical and my doctor told me that my Triglycerides were high. I was a serious soda drinker (sometimes as many as 5 cans per day, not diet), so I decided I needed to start drinking something "healthlier." I gravitated toward Green Tea because I like it. I averaged 2-3 1/2 liter bottles per day for 2 years (I also averaged about 1-2 cans of soda per day).
I recently had my triglycerides checked again and instead of going down THEY DOUBLED. They were over 300 (over 150 is considered high). I about had a heart attack right there. Now, I am not an overweight person, and have had a fairly high motabolism, but I have started to create a belly (I call it a Dr. Pepper belly because that is my favorite soda. I do not drink alcohol of any kind). I am telling all of this to you because ALL of my other tests came in within normal levels, including all other aspects to my cholesterol.
I did research and found out that if you are not overweight but have weight gain around the belly area, it might be due to consumption of a lot of sugar products. The excess sugar consumed, in this case, can be turned into trigylcerides. I looked at what I was eating and drinking to see if this was the case for me. What I found shocked me. The 1/2 liter bottles of green tea has MORE sugar in it than a can of soda. I checked several different manufacturers of green tea and I found them all to have about the same amount of sugar.
I concluded that between my morning coffee, green tea bottles and soda, I was consuming over 1,100 grams of sugar a week ( or about 4,000 callories of sugar a week just in drinks)!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was looking for an alternative to the green tea bottles and found the stash tea products. I personally, do not have the time or patience to use tea bags, so I was interested in the tea powders. I ordered the lightly sweetened green tea powder and tried it. And I loved it. I then proceeded to buy the other 5 flavors of the green tea powders and love them also.
There are 4 flavors that do not have sugar added, so I use a few drops of Stevia Glycerite to sweeten the drink. It does not take a lot.
The best thing is that the tea powders cost about 1/2 or less than the bottled green teas I use to drink.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
To end on a personal note, I have altered my drinking habits and now drink 1 liter of the tea powder drink and 1+ liter of water per day. I still drink 1 can of Dr. Pepper on the weekend, but that is it. I have been doing this for a little over a month now and between my altered drinking habits and the fish oil pills, I have lost about 5 lbs. and am due to get my triglycerides checked in a couple of weeks.
I hope this helps anyone that is in a similar situation to me and realize that just because it says its healthy does not mean it is.

My ExperienceApr 28, 2009
By J. Yang
Ingredients listed: Pure cane sugar, and 100% pure powdered Japanese green tea.
Nutrition Facts: all 0%, except Sodium (15mg) and Sugar (12g)
Basic Instructions: add one packet to 8oz of cold water and stir or shake well to dissolve...
My Opinion: It is too sweet for my taste, even diluted in a 16.9oz water bottle. It almost tastes like sugar water. I think the unsweetened version would be better. 5 star because it delivers what it promises.
This is Japanese green tea. NOT Chinese green tea. There is a difference.

Good for on the goJul 04, 2008
By RM
I like the mild sweet flavor of this instant tea. I've added it to lots of different drinks like juices and energy drinks. I have fun mixing it with things. It blends well for me.
 Of al the Stash iced teas this is the best, and it is still not all that goodAug 12, 2011
By Mark Bodzin
What can i say, I love iced tea. I drink a lot of it, and love the convenience of these new individual serving size packets. I am also a big fan of Stash products, or rather of all the other stash products I have tried.
I purchased a case of all 4 varieties, (when i say i drink iced tea, i am not kidding) and these were all way too weak when i mixed them in my 16 ounces water bottle.
I finally found that i needed to dissolve 2 packets in a small bit of hot water first (if not the tea clumped on me), and than add the rest of the water just to make these palatable. And only than were these passable...
Over all I am very dissatisfied with the product and will stick with the other brands that are out on the market.
 quality lightly sweetened green tea powderMar 20, 2011
By L. Cain
lots of uses for this green tea...
I generally like most tea (though not the over-ally flowery blends)...
Being on more of a health kick in recent years, I have added a lot more GREEN tea to my diet in one form or another...
from straight brewed tea <> hot or iced...
To adding the powder to things like salad dressings, smoothies, baked goods, etc.
I am not new to green tea....as I first started drinking it when living in Japan some 30+ years ago....
in the ground form known as matcha.
A quality product. Dissolves well.
I like both the unsweetened and the lightly sweetened.
