Green Teas

Mark T. Wendell Loose Tea Assortment


Welcome to our selection of Green Teas. To produce green tea, the fresh tea leaves are carefully placed on large bamboo trays and allowed to dry in the sunlight. The leaves are then placed into small hot roasting pans and quickly moved about. They are continuously rolled into balls and then re-roasted for several hours at a time. This process stops the chemical changes from occurring in the leaf by never allowing it to whither and ferment. By eliminating the fermentation process, the dry leaf retains its green color, natural goodness and original beauty. Most of the green teas produced come from various Chinese and Japanese tea estates. Light in color and flavor, green tea has a lower caffeine content than other tea types and is loaded with health benefiting antioxidants.
Brewing Tips: Green tea should be made with cold, filtered water that has been brought to a rolling boil and then allowed to cool for just under a minute (180° F). Using one rounded teaspoon of loose tea or one teabag for each cup required, pour the water over the tea leaves. Green tea should be steeped for 2-3 minutes. Once the ideal brewing time has been reached, the leaves should be removed to prevent further steeping. When brewed, green teas yield a yellowish-green liquor in the cup.
