The Chinese and Japanese have been enjoying the health benefits of green tea for thousands of years. Not only is it bright, refreshing but it’s also low in caffeine. It is an excellent source of antioxidants and high in vitamins C, E and fluoride.

Health - Research has shown that drinking green tea can boost the immune system, reduce high blood pressure, cholesterol levels and also offer protection against tooth decay. Green tea is also referred to as unfermented and is primarily produced in China, Japan and Taiwan.

Brewing – Filtered water is preferred but not essential, and water used should be below boiling point. With some fine green teas, the water can be as low as 70 degrees C. If you over brew your tea it will become bitter. Generally Green tea should be infused for approximately 2-3 minutes. The finer leaf varieties infuse between 1-2 minutes and the larger leaf 2 -3 minutes. All green leaf teas can be used more than once and some very high grades can withstand a number of infusions.
