What it is

The leaves are minimally processed, which helps to preserve their natural flavor and beneficial compounds. This tea offers a delicate and refreshing taste, characteristic of high-quality green tea. It is a popular beverage enjoyed worldwide for its subtle aroma and clean finish.

To prepare, heat fresh, cold water to just below boiling, around 175°F (80°C). Place one tea bag or one teaspoon of loose tea per cup into your teapot or mug. Pour the hot water over the tea and let it steep for 1 to 3 minutes, depending on your desired strength. Avoid over-steeping, as this can result in a bitter taste. Strain if using loose leaves. For iced tea, brew a stronger batch and pour over ice.
How it differs from similar foods
Premium green tea typically offers a more nuanced flavor profile compared to standard green tea. It often has a smoother, less astringent taste and a brighter, more floral aroma. The quality of the leaves and the careful processing contribute to these superior characteristics.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
Keep the remaining tea in its original airtight packaging or an opaque, airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors. This will help maintain its freshness and prevent the delicate flavors from degrading over time.
