Tasting Notes
Green Tea is celebrated as the original tea in China with its heritage dating back 5000 years. Traditional processing involves hand picking selected leaves, steaming, hand rolling, then roasting until they reach an acceptably low moisture content. This is a gentle, full bodied, satisfying, medium strength tea, neither harsh nor quick to go bitter.

Green Tea comes from the same source as White, Oolong, and Black Tea: the tea bush known to botanists as Camellia sinensis. All teas are generally distinguished from each other by where they come from and how they are fermented. This Green Tea comes from the Fujian region of China, where teas traditionally have a sweet, mellow, and smoky flavour because of the unique climate and mountainous growing conditions. Green Tea is further distinguished by the way it is processed: fresh-picked tea leaves are gently rolled to break them and left (very briefly) to oxidize, or "ferment." Once slightly oxidized, they are roasted to seal in the flavours. A traditional Black or Oolong Tea would be oxidized for a longer period and roasted more heavily than this mild variety.
