Green Tea Characteristics and Benefits

Green Teas are made from premium tea 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, immunity boosts, mental focus, and calming energy with lower caffeine levels.
