Are you looking for flavor quality or health benefits? Body Ecology's green tea extract fits both catagories.

If you mean for your health, I recommend you go to a chinese herbal store and purchase actual green tea leaves, they have much more antioxidants and less processed stuff than the tea bags you can buy everywhere else. It is very strong depending on how much you put. Also you have to let it sit for a few minutes so that it really gets absorbed in the water. Another thing, some people eat the leaves and others dont so if you dont like them, there is a special cup you can buy which keeps the leaves in a little holder thing as it soaks into the water, and you remove it when you are about to drink it. Enjoy.

The brand Repulic Of Tea makes some really great tea blends.
They have a green tea with pomegranate, green apple green tea.
They're really high quality teas and come in airtight containers (really cool) that keep the tea pods fresh.
Hope this helped.

Chinese Dragon Well is excellent and readily available. If there is a Chinese community near where you live, you'll be ab le to find a huge variety, including jasmine- and osmanthus-flavored green teas, etc.

Depends of what kind of green tea you'd like.
I prefer Japanese green tea. Japanese tend to save all the good stuff for themselves. So it's hard to get good exported green tea. I get mine at Japanese stores.
My favourite is type Gyokuro green tea. If you prefer tea bags, the best brand you can find in Americas is Yama moto Yama's Premium Grade green tea. http://www.yamamotoyama.com/teabag.html (the one at bottom left)
For loose leaves or bottled prepared ones, I like Ito-en. http://www.itoen.com/
Remember, use water at 70-80 degrees and don't steep for too long or it'll lose the flavor. Boiling hot water kills its flavor.

TAZO definitely is top of the line. Even Starbucks uses TAZO products. They also have a variety of green teas with different aromas and subtle flavors. My favorite is Lotus(no caffeine) and Zen(w/caffeine).

Organic japanese sencha. It's not about brands but about blends and about what wine-lovers refer to as terre-noire, or the taste of the soil.
