Discover the variety of Green Tea! Enjoy the various delicious nuances in flavour created through different methods of productions. The leaves are not being fermented as they are during Black Tea production but steamed (Japan) or roasted (China) after plucking. This preserves the green colour and the natural ingredients of the fresh leaf. Green Tea is known for its beneficial effect since it contains tannins, catechines (polyphenols), amino acids (theanine), vitamins, calcium and fluoride among others. The most important ingredient is the stimulating caffeine – it’s content depending on the type of Green Tea. The types Gyokuro and Sencha for example contain more caffeine than Bancha or Kukicha. If you are looking for a real energy burst you might enjoy Matcha Tea which offers a strongly invigorating and positive effect on the metabolism. Buddhist monks brought Matcha from China to Japan which also lead to the discovery of a new preparation methos. The tea leaves are being steamed and dried and then carefully and slowly ground into a fine powder in stone mills. The powder is dissolved in hot water and therefor the whole leaf and its ingredients are being consumed.
