Have you ever thought about breaking from your everyday black tea routine, and trying some green tea? It's time to get out of your tea rut, and brew up a cup of green tea. It tastes great, is easy to make and is just packed with healthy stuff. What is green tea?
What exactly is the difference between green tea, and the comfortable black tea you are used to? Green tea is dried, but not fermented. The shorter processing gives green tea a lighter flavour than black tea. It also helps keep all the beneficial chemicals intact, which is why green tea is so good for you.
Don't expect green tea to taste like your regular tea. All the different kinds of green tea have different flavours, but they do have a taste in common. The flavour of green tea can be described as: fresh, light, green, or grassy. Some varieties of green tea are have a bit of sweetness to them, and some are a little astringent. While most supermarkets will carry a few brands of green tea (usually in bags), there won't be much selection. Some types to look for: sencha, gunpowder or Dragon Well. I've got a list of the top types of green tea. Grocery store packaged teas might just be marked 'green tea', without any distictive variety given.
How do you brew green tea?
Just the same as you would brew any other kind of tea, whether you have bagged tea or loose green tea. Green tea is more delicate than black, so you want to keep the water a little cooler.
