Green tea may be a valuable part of the diet for many people, however, consuming green tea is either a knowing or unknowing choice of suicide by those of us who need blood thinners. Because of its vitamin k content, it reduces or eliminates the affect of blood thinners such as Coumadin, Plavis and even low dose aspirin. Vitamin K, present in extremely high quantities in green tea, promotes coagulation and consequently the formation of clots. Clots kill through stroke and heart attack.
If you have either been prescribed blood thinners of any type or a family history of vascular problems, green tea should be regarded as a powerful and potentially deadly poison.

Hardly a connoisseur of green teas, I nonetheless consume lots of it — on a typical workday, I drink 4-6 packets of the stuff. There are surprisingly few options for organic tea, though I imagine this will change gradually over time.
Bigelow packs these with one overall paper wrapping, and several bags are enclosed in a separate sealed wrapper. Intended to preserve freshness (see the Wikipedia entry for green tea for more on this), this is convenient if you want to pack several bags for lunch at work.
I’d also tried Celestial Seasonings’ (non organic) green tea, and notice that it was somewhat less tolerant of boiling water than the Bigelow product, which Wikipedia tells us can cause green tea leaves to produce bitterness. Celestial Seasonings green tea offering seemed to pack slightly more taste, but the difference is small in my judgment.
I have an unscientific suspicion that an almost-boiled product might release more unwanted chemicals from non-organic farming, and since I drink lots of tea, it seems worth the additional expense to buy organic. Lipton sells what is to my palette an equally acceptable green tea, but it’s not organic.
I recommend mixing this with Celestial Seasonings Herb Tea, Cinnamon Apple Spice also available from Amazon Celestial Seasonings Herb Tea, Cinnamon Apple Spice, Tea Bags, 20-Count Boxes (Pack of 6). Even a single occasional bag of apple spice will add a pleasant tangy flavor to the typically (let’s admit it) bland green tea flavor.
I’m currently purchasing both products through Amazon’s Subscribe and Save. Bigelow products are rarely discounted by local grocers, save the occasional promotion on a specific flavor.

Don’t expect “authentic” Japanese tea, but this is good. I feel the taste is a bit weak, but I use two tea bags and then it’s fine. Great value for money.
