Green tea offers a wide range of flavors to explore, from fresh and grassy to vegetal, nutty, floral, or subtly sweet. Choose it for its character and the pleasure of preparing a cup, rather than a promise of health benefits.
What makes green tea different?
Green tea comes from Camellia sinensis, the same plant used for black, white, and oolong teas. During green tea processing, heat is used to limit oxidation, helping preserve a different flavor profile from more oxidized teas.
Explore the flavors
A green tea’s character varies with its growing region, harvest, and processing. Added fruits, flowers, herbs, and spices create further possibilities in flavored blends.

Does green tea contain caffeine?
Green tea naturally contains caffeine. The amount in a prepared cup varies with the tea, portion size, and brewing method. Do not assume that a lighter-colored cup is caffeine-free or that every green tea contains the same amount.
Follow the blend’s brewing instructions
Use your chosen product’s recommended amount, water temperature, and steeping time. Green teas often call for water below boiling, but the appropriate method depends on the tea and other blend ingredients.
If your cup tastes too bitter or astringent, review the recommended temperature and steeping time before your next brew. Longer steeping is not always better.
Enjoy it hot or iced
Taste your blend plain first, then add your preferred sweetener if you like. Follow any product-specific iced-tea directions when preparing a chilled serving.
