How people cook with it
Green tea is a versatile beverage enjoyed hot or cold. It can be a simple drink on its own or a base for more complex preparations.
- Brewed hot for a morning drink
- Chilled for a refreshing afternoon beverage
- Used as a base for smoothies
- Infused with fruits or herbs
To prepare, place one tea bag into a mug or teapot. Pour hot water over the tea bag, typically between 160-180°F (70-80°C), avoiding boiling water which can make the tea bitter. Let it steep for 1 to 3 minutes, depending on desired strength. Remove the tea bag. For iced tea, brew a stronger batch and pour over ice. You can add sweeteners like honey or sugar, or flavorings such as lemon or mint, to taste.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to black tea, green tea undergoes less oxidation, resulting in a lighter color and a more delicate, sometimes grassy or vegetal flavor. It generally has a lower caffeine content than black tea. Its preparation often involves lower water temperatures to prevent bitterness.

This product is for anyone who enjoys a simple, flavorful hot or cold beverage.
How to keep the rest
Keep the remaining tea bags in their original packaging or an airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors. This helps maintain the freshness and flavor of the tea leaves, ensuring a pleasant brewing experience each time.
