The Tea Centre’s crafted collection of green tea fusions
Green tea fusions—perhaps more commonly known as flavoured green tea—has been around as long as the original cuppa! A fusion is any brew that has a classic tea base (i.e. green tea) and is blended with other ingredients like herbs, fruits, or florals. One of the oldest and most popular green tea fusions is jasmine tea, which hails from ancient China. However, The Tea Centre also boasts several unique aromatic green tea fusions like Japanese Lime, Moroccan Mint, Morning Flower, and a spiffy Green Chai.
As you can see above, we offer an array of beautiful premium green tea fusions for you to enjoy.
What are the health benefits of green tea fusion?
Like all green tea, flavoured green fusions come packed with the same healthy benefits! Green tea is a fantastic source of antioxidants that support the growth of healthy hair, skin, and nails. Antioxidants are also thought to improve blood circulation. The catechins and small caffeine content in green fusions can further boost the body’s metabolic rate, which in turn can assist with weight loss. All of which makes adding green tea fusions to your collection a worthwhile investment.
Consider pouring a cup of green fusion tea the next time you want to relax and unwind during some well-deserved “me” time. Enjoy the soothing aromas and elegant flavours of a freshly brewed fusion even during summer by whipping up a batch of iced flavoured green tea.
How much green tea should I drink everyday?
There is no magical number of cups that one should drink in order to reap the optimal health benefits that come from sipping on green tea. Anything from one cup to five cups could positively impact your body; however, this benefit changes depending on your personal health. As a general rule of thumb, anything from three to five cups is considered a normal and reasonable amount of green tea to consume per day.
How to brew a cup of flavoured green tea
To brew a perfect cup of green tea you need to do the following.
Whether it be a traditional or flavoured green tea the trick is not to over-brew it. Brewing it for too long or using water that has just boiled will often result in a bitter-tasting green tea that is not enjoyable. Many people make this mistake and are turned off green tea. But when made properly, green tea is a truly lovely and refreshing beverage that can be enjoyed any time of the day. Here are some tips on how to make the best cuppa!
It is best to brew filtered water but this is not essential. Water used should be below boiling point at about 80°C. If you don’t have a temperature-controlled kettle, turn your kettle off before it reaches boiling point and allows it to sit for a minute before pouring.
Alternatively, if your water has boiled then allow it to sit for about two minutes before pouring over your leaves, It also helps to pour some cold water over the leaves first. With finer green teas, the water can be as low as 70°C. If the water is too hot, it will burn the leaves and produce a bitter-tasting brew.
Generally, green tea should be infused for approximately 2–3 minutes. The finer leaf varieties infuse between 1–2 minutes and the larger leaf for 2–3 minutes. All green loose leaf teas can be used more than once and some high grades can even withstand a number of infusions if used on the same day.
