Product Description
Special Chinese Green tea
The consumption of green tea in the East has ancient traditions. Green tea is primarily known for its strong antioxidant effects. Due to its caffeine content, it has invigorating effects, making it a good alternative to morning coffee. Its beneficial amino acids dissolve at 60-70 degrees, and due to its slow-absorbing caffeine content, we can feel more alert and fresher for a longer time. Its active ingredients are not absorbed in the stomach like in the case of coffee, but in the colon, so its energizing effects kick in later but last longer. Recommendations regarding the brewing time vary, as depending on the origin of the tea leaves, steeping for anywhere from one and a half minutes to 5-8 minutes is advised.
- Its taste - imparted by the tannin astringent - is most intense during the first infusion, and typically bitter. It is recommended to steep it at 60-70 degrees Celsius, and soak the leaves for 40-120 seconds.
- During the second infusion, the steeping time can be reduced by half, and during the third infusion, we should calculate the soaking time with the time of the first infusion again.
- In general, the longer the tea leaves soak, the more bitter the tea tastes.
- Recommendation for Special Chinese Green Tea: Pour a teaspoon of tea leaves over hot water, let it sit for 5 minutes, then consume.
- The Special Chinese Green Tea contains only green tea leaves, free from any artificial colors and preservatives.
