Green ‘Lucky Dragon Hyson’ Tea (£ per kg)

Description

This Lucky Dragon Hyson Tea is by far the best green tea we have found! Super smooth, with sweet notes, and tastes fantastic.

Ingredients: Chinese green tea

Green tea naturally contains caffeine, however unlike coffee, this caffeine is slow release, leaving you energised for longer and without that big crash. Green, oolong and black teas all originate from the same Camellia sinesis plant, but green tea comes from the younger leaves and buds that have not undergone the same withering and oxidation process.

Top tip #1: Add in a few centimetres of cool/luke warm water into your cup/pot with the loose-leaf tea, and swish around with the tea for around 30 seconds. Then top up with the boiling water afterwards. This stops the green tea from burning and turning bitter – instead a sweet and super delicious tea is released.

Alternatively, only heat the water to ~80 degrees Celcius (not to boiling point) before adding it to the tea leaves, or leave the water to cool down for a while after boiling. Both these techniques can help prevent the tea from burning also.

Loose-leaf | Caffeinated | Herbal 

Top tip #2: Don’t feel like you get enough tea from one mug? Don’t have a big filter for loose leaf tea in your teapot? You can repurposed your cafetiere/french press as a bulk loose leaf tea holder. Just pop in your tea instead of the coffee grounds, and continue as normal….except you have a MEGA pot of tea. Amazing. (If you want to go next level, you can strain the tea through a sieve and into a saucepan…not that we’ve tried this before…)
