Although green teas originated in China—and have been consumed there since at least the Southern Song dynasty (960-1279)—they are now produced in almost all tea-growing regions around the world. Our diverse collection of green tea leaves reflects the many wonderful makers of this healthy and fragrant tea. From Japan to Ceylon, our collection includes varieties like Chinese green tea, gunpowder green tea, and jasmine green tea, which showcase the craftsmanship of our suppliers who have perfected the art of creating teas that are both delicious and healthful. 

Despite their name, green teas are produced from the very same tea leaves as black teas. Green tea leaves are harvested and quickly preserved. While black tea leaves are allowed to oxidize after being picked, green tea loose leaf is immediately heated to prevent oxidation. This process maintains their fresh, grassy flavours. 

There is certainly no doubt that green tea is good for you, and studies have shown its positive effects on weight loss, skin health, glycemic control, and overall well-being. If you are new to green tea, we suggest trying our famous gunpowder green tea "Temple of Heaven," whose leaves are rolled into small pellets, ensuring they retain their full flavour and aroma. Another excellent option is our jasmine green tea—a hand-rolled tea with fragrant jasmine pearls that unfurl in the cup. 

For those who enjoy a stronger flavour, sencha green tea is a popular choice, especially in Japan. Sencha has a lovely grassy flavour with a slight bitterness, a contrast to the more delicate Chinese green tea varieties. Our organic tea green tea options, including Organic Mild Chinese Sencha, offer premium-grade quality with fresh, grassy flavours. For a sweet, full-bodied option, try our Genmaicha Yamasaki, a blend of green tea with popped rice, imparting a delightful baked character to the brew. 

Whether you're enjoying your tea brewed hot or as an iced green tea, you can enhance the experience with a touch of honey. Explore the best green tea UK has to offer with our extensive range, including matcha green tea, green tea loose leaf, and other organic green tea varieties
