Green Tea

Green tea is rich in antioxidants, especially catechins, which have anti-inflammatory and metabolism-boosting properties. Green tea also supports heart health, improves skin health, and can help with weight loss. It is also an excellent source of vitamins and minerals.

For the perfect cup of green tea, use 1-2 teaspoons of tea per 200 ml of water. The water temperature should be around 75-80°C to preserve the delicate flavor. Steep the tea for 1 to 3 minutes, depending on the type of tea and desired intensity. Make sure not to let the tea steep for too long to avoid bitterness.

Yes, green tea can be brewed multiple times. New, finer aromas develop with each infusion. Make sure that you extend the brewing time a little for the second and third infusion. Many high-quality green teas offer up to 3-4 infusions.

The most popular green teas include varieties such as Sencha, Gyokuro, Matcha, Lung Ching and Bancha. Each of these teas has its own unique flavor and character, depending on the region in which they are grown and the type of processing.
