Your FAQs, Answered

For Genmai Cha

What is the difference between Chinese Green Tea and Japanese Green Tea?

Although both Chinese and Japanese Green Teas offer immune boosting and health-giving properties, they are inherently different in terms of their palate and character. Chinese Green Tea has slightly twisted tea leaves, typically presenting a light, clean and refreshing palate, while Japanese Green Teas have flat folded leaves that often omit a nori-like, vegetal palate.

What should I put in my green tea?

Green tea is what we like to call a self-drinker. It should be served plain with no additions, to preserve the palate it presents.

Why does my green tea taste bitter?

When over steeped, and prepared at the incorrect temperature, green tea releases tannins that cause the tea to taste bitter. To avoid this bitterness, green teas should be steeped between 30 seconds and 1 minute at a temperature of 180° F or 82° C.

Where does tea come from?

All tea, whether it be White, Green, Oolong or Black, comes from the same plant, the evergreen shrub Camellia Sinensis.
