Green Tea

Camellia sinensis | Calm Focus · Heart Wellness · Antioxidant-Rich · Contains Caffeine

Tastes like: fresh, grassy, and lightly sweet with a soft vegetal finish. Brewed right (not boiling!), it's smooth — not bitter.

About 4,700 years ago, according to Chinese legend, Emperor Shen Nong was boiling water under a tree when a few leaves drifted into his pot. He drank it, and the world's favorite tea was born.

Today green tea is the most consumed beverage on earth after water, and one of the most studied. Its signature antioxidant, EGCG, has been widely researched.* Green tea also contains L-theanine, an amino acid found almost only in tea plants, which pairs with green tea's natural caffeine for a calm, focused kind of alertness.*

How to Brew

1. Use hot water at 160–175°F (70–80°C) — not boiling. Boiling water makes green tea bitter.
2. Steep 2–3 minutes
3. Add lemon if you like — it brightens the flavor
4. Enjoy 2–3 cups daily; the same leaves can be steeped more than once

Traditional tip: Most people who think they don't like green tea have been brewing it in boiling water for too long. Try it once at the right temperature — it's a completely different cup.
