If you're a green tea drinker, you have a variety of healthy and delicious green tea choices available to you. Green tea originates from several different countries of the world including China, Japan, and India and if you brew your own tea you can taste and compare green teas from a variety of different areas. You may wonder of all the choices available, which are the best green teas from a taste perspective? While the answer to this question may vary depending upon your personal preference, tea connoisseurs generally hold two green teas in particularly high esteem. Here are the two best green teas from the standpoint of the experts:

Best green teas: Dragon well green tea

This tea originates from the open fields of China and is considered to be the best green tea China has available, probably because of its fresh, sweet taste with a slight floral aroma. Dragonwell green tea is given a grade based on its quality including the shape of its leaves, the color of the tea, and its taste. Up to eight grades are possible, so Dragonwell green teas can vary somewhat based on where the tea was grown as well as the age and appearance of the leaves and buds. One of the most distinctive characteristics of Dragon well tea is its beautiful jade green color which makes it as delightful to look at as it is to drink. Interestingly, Dragon well tea was the tea served to former president Richard M. Nixon when he visited China. This is truly a tea fit for a dignitary.

Best green teas: Gyokuro green tea
