Bringing You The Best Green Tea
Green tea consumption is booming everywhere, as more of us discover its subtle yet complex flavours and its many health benefits. Our extensive collection of luxury loose-leaf tea includes many highly sought-after varieties from China, Japan and Sri Lanka, including coastal-grown Sencha, Ceylon gunpowder and Chinese Dragon Well.
To ensure that we deliver only the best loose-leaf tea products to our customers, we often visit our tea farms in Japan and China to source directly from the farmers. We also usually only choose teas picked in the spring harvest when the leaves are at their most succulent and flavoursome.
Green Tea Health Benefits
Green tea is made with the same Camellia sinensis leaves as black tea. However, in green tea, the processing is minimal and oxidation mild, which preserves the plant’s antioxidant-rich polyphenols and catechins. That means all the goodness and flavour complexity is preserved for you to enjoy in your brew. Some take green tea supplements or regularly drink cups of green tea for this reason because it may aid with weight loss, assist with blood sugar regulation, assist the body with its anti-inflammatory properties and reduce the risk of heart disease, however, discover which teas offer maximum health benefits in our review of the best teas to drink for your health.
