Flavoured Green Teas

 At Cup of Tea, we love green tea! It is refreshing, energising, and benefits from many flavours and nuances. Sometimes blended with fragrant flavours such as jasmine or exotic fruits, it can offer a plethora of notes and nuances, which are delicious. 

 

About Green Teas

Like oolong and black teas, green tea is made from the Camellia sinensis plant leaves. However, green tea is unique because the leaves do not undergo the same withering and oxidation process used to make other teas. Rather than being withered, rolled, fermented and dried, the leaves are steamed or fried. This process gives a much fairer colour that is lighter and greenish. This lighter process makes green tea ideal for flavouring because of its subtle and complementary characteristics. 

Green teas work beautifully with citrus and tropical fruit flavours. Some of the finest flavoured green teas are infused with mango, lemon, ginger and fragrant jasmine. 

 

Does Green Tea Contain Caffeine?

In some restaurants, we’re often offered green tea when asking for herbal tea. However, green tea does contain caffeine but far less when compared to an equal amount of black tea and even less than coffee. Because tea acts as a brain stimulant, some people find that drinking green tea increases energy levels, concentration and mood.

As a certified organic retailer, we stock both organic and non-organic green teas. If you’re interested in wellness or ethical shopping, this may be of significance to you. 

Here are some of our favourite flavoured green teas – loose-leaf and real-leaf teabags to get you started on your green tea adventure.

Our Morning Dew is our best-selling and award-winning flavoured green tea. The blend is expertly composed of large-leaf Sencha green tea with sunflower, rose, and cornflower blossoms with mango and citrus nuances. It’s sweetly delicious and refreshing, and once you try it, you’ll never go back!

Our Green Ginger and Lemon loose-leaf tea is a refreshingly citrusy infusion with fiery ginger and zingy lemon. A perfectly balanced blend of Chinese green sencha tea with enlivening fire and fruit.
