Green Tea Characteristics and Benefits

Japan and China are known to produce the highest quality green tea although many other countries are now producing different varieties from minty to floral or mellow and smooth tasting. Green Teas are made from premium te-a whole leaves that are either fired or steamed to prevent oxidation and to enhance their natural character yielding light cup color and a complex range of flavors. Their tasting profiles can vary from subtly fruity with hints of mineral, toasty and smoky, and to grassy and crisp - all depending on where they grow and how they are hand crafted. They are a well-documented, and highly revered source of natural antioxidants that support heart health, metabolism, immunity boosts, mental focus, and calming energy with lower caffeine levels.

Loose, Bagged, Iced and Portioned

Our green tea collection is offered in loose-leaf, pyramid tea bags, iced-tea pouches and in convenient single-serve loose-leaf portion packet for brewing your style - whether at home, at work, or on the go.

Does loose-leaf tea contain caffeine?

Yes, loose-leaf green tea naturally contains caffeine. Made from whole green tea leaves, they contain 20-50mg of caffeine per cup (8oz). The exact amount varies by variety, steeping time, and water temperature. For lower caffeine options, explore our decaffeinated black teas or herbal blends.
