WHY WE STOCK IT
A simple, single-ingredient green tea with a light, delicate flavour and bright golden colour. It is made entirely with organically grown, Fairtrade-certified green tea leaves, without added flavours, sweeteners or artificial ingredients.
 
BEST FOR
Anyone looking for a clean, refreshing everyday green tea that can be enjoyed hot or chilled. Green tea naturally contains caffeine and plant polyphenols, including catechins.
 
This is a conventional brewed tea rather than a concentrated green-tea extract. It should not be marketed as a weight-loss, detoxification or disease-treatment product.
 
HOW TO PREPARE IT
For one cup:
Bring fresh water to a boil.
Allow the water to cool for approximately one minute before pouring it over one tea bag.
Infuse for 1–3 minutes.
Remove the bag and enjoy plain or with lemon if desired.
 
A shorter infusion creates a lighter, less bitter cup. For iced tea, brew slightly stronger, allow it to cool and serve over ice.
 
MEDICATION AND SAFETY CAUTIONS
This product contains naturally occurring caffeine and is not decaffeinated. The exact amount varies with water temperature and brewing time, but green tea commonly provides a moderate amount of caffeine per cup.
 
Limit or avoid it if caffeine causes insomnia, anxiety, heart palpitations, reflux, tremor or headaches. Drinking it earlier in the day and steeping it for less time may reduce caffeine exposure.
 
Consult a healthcare professional about total caffeine intake during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Children and adolescents may be more sensitive to caffeine.
 
Green tea can reduce the absorption of non-heme iron. People with iron deficiency or those taking an iron supplement should drink it at least two hours away from iron-rich meals and iron supplements.
 
Ask our pharmacist before drinking large or highly variable amounts if you take warfarin. Maintaining a consistent dietary routine is important with this medication.
 
Brewed green tea is much less concentrated than green-tea extract supplements and does not carry the same dose-related risks. Do not open the tea bags and swallow the dry leaves as a supplement.
