The Republic of Tea's Sip by Sip lifestyle brings about a life of health, balance and well-being. Since ancient times in Japan and China, a simple cup of green tea has been imbued with the capability of enlightening both mind and body. This highly valued China green tea represents all that and more. Like all tea, green tea is a varietal of the Camellia sinensis bush. But unlike black and oolong teas, it is not oxidized and undergoes less processing so it retains more of its beneficial properties. Tea offers a world of health-inducing benefits, but green tea is most widely known for its polyphenols, which are strong antioxidants. It is also blissfully calorie free.
Caffeine:
Green tea contains less than a quarter the amount of caffeine per cup than in a similar-sized cup of coffee. More about caffeine.
Steeping Instructions:
Steeping green tea is easy. Simply heat fresh, filtered water just short of boiling. Then pour 6 oz of water over tea and steep for 1-3 minutes (if using a tea bag) or 2-4 minutes (if using full-leaf tea.)
