Green tea is more than just a beverage – it is a cultural experience that unites history, tradition, and distinctive flavors. Discover the versatile facets of green tea and what makes it so special.

Origin and tradition of green tea

Green tea originally comes from China and has spread throughout Asia over centuries. Countries like Japan and India have developed their own tea specialties, which are particularly aromatic due to tea gardens in higher regions. The long tradition and cultivated growing methods have made green tea a true cultural asset.

The distinctive taste of green tea

Green tea impresses with a wide range of flavors that vary depending on the type and processing. Sencha from Japan offers a refreshing, grassy note with a floral sweetness, while Matcha captivates with its intense aromas and creamy texture. The taste of each green tea strongly depends on its origin and tea culture.

Preparation – the key to full flavor

The right preparation plays a crucial role in taste. To preserve the delicate aromas and avoid bitterness, green tea should be brewed at 75–80°C. This optimal temperature ensures that the tea leaves can unfold their fresh sweetness and full aroma.

Variety of green tea types

Whether you prefer the nutty Longjing from Zhejiang or the intense Gyokuro from Japan, green tea offers a variety of types for every taste. Matcha, the finely ground powdered tea, is particularly popular and offers a strong and sweet variant of classic tea.
