Essence of Green: Fresh Loose Leaf Green Tea

"Essence of Green is Lorantea's fresh tea collection, built around clean aroma, bright liquor, gentle sweetness and the clarity people look for in loose leaf green tea."

This collection is for drinkers who want green tea that feels fresh, clear and easy to understand. It includes teas suited for people searching for Longjing-style clarity, jasmine green tea fragrance, high mountain freshness or a smoother green tea experience.

Green tea is sensitive to water temperature and steeping time. If your green tea often tastes bitter, start with a smoother product and brew with cooler water or shorter infusions. A well-brewed green tea should feel bright, clean and refreshing rather than harsh.
