Green tea – subtlety with invisible power
Don't be fooled by its mild flavor – green tea is the unsung heroine of the tea world. Inconspicuous, yet brimming with natural treasures. Its leaves are dried immediately after harvesting., before they even start the fermentation process. That's why it's called "unfermented tea"It's this quick, minimal processing that preserves its most valuable qualities—most of its natural properties and a deep, pure flavor that's like a breath of fresh air after a rain shower: fresh, herbal, and soothing. Perfect for those who seek tea not only for pleasure but also for daily support for body and mind.
“Tea is the religion of the art of living.”
– Okakura, Japanese art critic, erudite and essayist
Historical outline
Green tea has the longest tradition of all teas. Its history dates back over 4,000 years and begins in China. According to legend, an infusion of the leaves was accidentally discovered by Emperor Shen Nong in 2737 BC when leaves from a nearby bush fell into boiling water. In ancient China, green tea was considered a medicine and a drink of spiritual balance. Over time, it became part of ceremonies, philosophy, and daily rituals—first in Asia and then around the world. Its role extended far beyond the culinary sphere; it was present in medicine, poetry and art, and in many cultures it is still considered a symbol of harmony and mindfulness.
Health properties
Green tea is a source of valuable antioxidants – primarily catechins, which neutralize free radicals and support cell protection. Regular drinking can support metabolism, improve concentration, protect the heart and support the immune systemIt also has a mild stimulating effect – the theine it contains is released more slowly than in coffee, providing a mild but lasting energy boost.
It's worth knowing
In Japan, brewing green tea is more than just a daily ritual – it is an art that combines simplicity, mindfulness and aesthetics, known as senchadō, or "the way of sencha tea." In the traditional ceremony, every gesture is significant, and the process of brewing and drinking has a calming effect, organizes thoughts, and teaches presence in the here and now. Green tea in Japan is not only drunk – it is experienced with all the sensesThat's why harmony between water, temperature, brewing time, and the moment the tea enters the cup is so important.
How to brew green tea?
Green tea develops its properties best at a temperature of 70–80°C. Water that's too hot can make it bitter and astringent. The recommended brewing time is 2–3 minutes; a shorter brew will produce a more delicate, fresher infusion, while a longer brew will produce a more intense, herbal-like brew. It's worth experimenting to find your preferred balance. Even a slight change in time or temperature can bring out a completely new character in green tea and surprise you with its flavor.
