Green Tea – the Most Popular Tea in China

Green tea is the most popular of Chinese teas, both in China and around the world. It has the most varieties, each of which has its own production characteristics. It is harvested mainly in the first half of spring, and the leaves are subjected to minimal oxidation.

Taste and Aroma

The main idea of green tea production is to preserve the original composition of the tea leaf as best as possible. The bouquet of green tea is floral and herbal, with light notes of roasted nuts and seeds and fruity and berry accents. The aroma is clean and sweet, and the taste is delicate and full.

How Much Caffeine Does Green Tea Have?

Depending on the variety and brewing method, a cup of green tea contains from 20 to 85 mg of caffeine, which is noticeably less than a cup of coffee. Tea also contains L-theanine and catechins, which is why many people experience its effects as milder and longer than those of coffee.

The Most Popular Varieties

The most famous varieties of green tea are Long Jing, Bi Lo Chun, Mao Feng, Tai Ping Hou Kui and Liu An Gua Pian.
