GREEN TEA's SECRET
Green Tea: From Hate to Love in One Step!
Some adore #greentea for its health benefits and delicate taste, while others find it "weak" and "like bitter grass." And that's no surprise, because green tea is so contradictory!
What's the secret?
It's all about brewing! Black tea can simply be poured over with boiling water, but green tea requires a special approach. It needs to be brewed with water at 160-165 °F/70–75 °C (3-5 minutes), and then you will discover a completely new taste!
You think that tea is only black and green? Think again! There are about a thousand varieties of green tea alone!
Green tea is made from the leaves of the tea plant, just like #blacktea. But the main difference is that green tea is almost not #fermented, so it is closer to the live tea leaf. The stronger the fermentation, the darker the infusion, and the brighter the #taste.
Green tea's taste and #benefits depend on the quality of the raw materials. Growing conditions, the number of buds, the harvest time, the way the leaves are twisted - all this affects the taste.
How do you avoid getting confused by the names?
Tea names often depend on the type of twist. Among green teas, you will find the largest number of types.
The complexity of the twist determines the price.
One example is Fukamushi Sencha https://timetotea.ca/products/or Gyokuro Kokyu https://timetotea.ca/products/gyokuro-kokyu
green tea. It can be ordinary and expensive. It's all about the quality of the tea leaf and the terroir.
The best helper in choosing tea is experience!
Try different varieties, find your favorite taste!
