Yunnan Green Loose Leaf Tea

Green tea has been at the heart of daily wellbeing rituals for thousands of years — and for good reason. This gentle, grassy Yunnan green from the mountains of southwest China is rich in natural antioxidants and delivers a quiet, sustained clarity that makes it the perfect companion for a mindful morning or a midday reset.

Far removed from the sharp bitterness that puts many people off green tea, this is a soft, smooth introduction — light and savoury with a hoppy, grassy depth. Brew it with cooler water and discover how beautifully nuanced green tea can be.

The wellbeing benefits of green tea

Green tea is one of the most studied botanicals in the world of natural wellbeing. Rich in catechins — particularly EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) — it offers a broad range of evidence-informed benefits.

• Antioxidant support — catechins are among the most potent plant antioxidants, helping to protect cells from oxidative stress and support long-term cellular health
• Calm, focused energy — green tea contains L-theanine, an amino acid that works synergistically with caffeine to promote alert, relaxed focus without the jitteriness of coffee
• Metabolic support — EGCG has been associated in research with supporting healthy metabolism and energy balance
• Gut health — polyphenols in green tea support the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and a healthy digestive environment
• Skin health — the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of green tea catechins are associated with supporting healthy, resilient skin from within

Why you'll love this

• Gentle and smooth — a great first green tea
• Naturally lower in bitterness when brewed with cooler water
• Quietly energising without the intensity of black tea
• Delicious hot or as an iced tea
• Loose-leaf — whole leaves preserve natural antioxidants and flavour

How to brew this

Add one heaped teaspoon to your teapot or infuser. Use water at around 70–80°C — a quarter cold water added to your teapot works perfectly. Steep for 2–3 minutes. Avoid boiling water, which can make green tea bitter.

Pairs beautifully with the Teapot for One and Perfect Tea Scoop.
