Yunnan Green Tea

Yunnan Green Tea

This is very light – a good thing, it genuinely doesn't have that bitter taste you get with teabags. I usually only brew it for 3 minutes - the colour is really nice in the pot and in the cup. A trick I read somewhere is that, if your water is too hot, pouring it into and out of another container first will immediately take a few degrees off – I use a measuring jug to get the correct quantity in the first place, so I just pour it into that again then into the pot. Remember that green tea does still have some caffeine…

A delightfully refreshing cup of tea

I’m no tea expert but I have turned to green tea during the summer heatwave as a lighter alternative to my regular assam. And I have not been disappointed. It has provided me with a refreshing alternative. I have tried green tea in bag form in the past and never got on with it but this tea has really hit the spot. It has encouraged me to change my routine and to get a bit more experimental. Give it a go you might be pleasantly surprised.

My favourite green tea

I’ve had this on subscription for the last few years and drink it every day. Always smooth and never bitter, lovely fresh whole rolled leaves. Highly recommend!
