Green Tea

Green teas bring fresh and vibrant flavors to your tea cup that are difficult to resist. These flavors vary greatly depending on where it’s grown and how it’s processed. The deeply grassy and marine notes in Japanese greens are very different from the slightly nutty, cooked vegetal flavors often found in Chinese green teas. There is a wide range of flavors to experience with every new green tea you try.

It’s important to note that brewing green tea requires a much lower temperature than black or oolong tea. If you’ve brewed up a green tea and thought it was too bitter, chances are you used water that was too hot. The exact temperature depends on the type of tea, but as a general rule it should be around 175 degrees. If bitterness has been your only experience with green tea give it a try again with the right temperature. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at the depth of flavor you can achieve with the proper brewing technique.
