Sencha Green Tea Teabags 煎茶 3g X 20pcs

Green tea teabags are a convenient and easy-to-use form of traditional green tea, offering all the health benefits and refreshing taste of loose-leaf tea with added simplicity. Here’s a detailed overview:

Ingredients:

• Green Tea Leaves: The teabags typically contain high-quality green tea leaves, which are either finely chopped or processed to fit into small, porous bags. The tea leaves are usually sencha or other green tea varieties, offering a bright, grassy flavor with a hint of natural sweetness.

Flavour:

• Green tea teabags provide a fresh, grassy, and sometimes mildly astringent flavor, with subtle vegetal and umami undertones. The taste can vary depending on the quality of the tea, but it is typically light and refreshing, with a clean aftertaste.

Caffeine Content:

• Like loose-leaf green tea, teabags contain a moderate amount of caffeine. The caffeine content is usually lower than that of black tea or coffee, providing a gentle, steady energy boost without the jittery effects of higher-caffeine beverages.

Health Benefits:

• Green tea teabags retain many of the same health benefits as loose-leaf green tea. They are rich in antioxidants, particularly catechins, which help fight free radicals, support heart health, aid digestion, and promote overall wellness. The amino acid L-theanine present in green tea also aids in relaxation and stress reduction while improving focus.

Storage:

• To keep the green tea teabags fresh, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. An airtight container or the original packaging helps protect the tea from moisture and odors that may affect its flavor.

Serving Suggestions:

Hot Version:

1. Boil water and allow it to cool slightly to about 70-80°C (158-176°F).
2. Place one teabag in a cup and pour the hot water over it.
3. Let the tea steep for 1-2 minutes, depending on your taste preference. Avoid steeping for too long, as it can make the tea bitter.
4. Remove the teabag and enjoy the fresh, grassy flavor of green tea.

Cold Version (Cold Brew Green Tea):

1. Place 1-2 teabags in a pitcher of cold water (500 ml or more).
2. Let it steep in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours or overnight for a stronger flavor.
3. Remove the teabags and serve cold, with or without ice.
