Green teas

If all teas come from Camelia Sinensis, it is the manufacturing method that differentiates green teas from other tea families. After the picking and withering stages, the green tea will be roasted, in a wok (China) or by humid heat (Japan and Korea), to fix its color. This stage is the most important to define the color and aromatic profile of a green tea. Vegetal, fresh, iodized, with notes of cooked vegetables, spinach or seaweed, the aromatic spectrum of green teas can be very diverse. To allow the marriage of fruits, flowers and aromas, our house selects very smooth green teas from China. When infused, the flavors come together in an accord where each ingredient reveals all its aromatic facets.

Fauchon answers your questions about green teas

Teas, whether green, black or white, all come from the same plant, the tea tree (Camellia sinensis). They are distinguished by the level of oxidation that their leaves undergo during the manufacturing process. It is this factor that determines the color of the leaves, which will become darker and darker depending on the level of oxidation.

Green teas offer diverse aromatic profiles, ranging from plant and fresh flavours to notes of spinach, seaweed or cooked vegetables. These aromas vary depending on the origin of green tea, whether from China, Japan or Korea, each with its own unique characteristics.

Chung Hao Jasmine Green Tea is scented according to an ancestral Chinese tradition. Jasmine flowers are arranged on a layer of green tea, opening in the evening to naturally perfume the tea. This operation is repeated several times, which gives the finished product a floral, intense and refreshing flavor.

Green tea is known for its antioxidant and stimulating properties, contributing to overall well-being. Its regular consumption can support the immune system, help concentration and digestion, and promote a feeling of relaxation.

Each green tea has its own brewing time and optimal water temperature. For example, the recommended brewing time is 4 minutes at 80°C for Lemon & Ginger tea, 3 minutes at 85°C for Rose & Litchi tea, and 3 minutes at 75°C for Mint tea.
By following these tips, you can fully appreciate the flavors and benefits of each green tea.

Mint is known for its digestive and soothing properties on the gastrointestinal system, and its aromatic freshness helps facilitate digestion after a hearty meal. But that’s not all: in addition to its digestive benefits, Nanah mint green tea contains powerful antioxidants, called catechins, that help neutralize free radicals in the body and protect cells from oxidative damage.

For a refined cocktail, mix Rose & Litchi tea with rosé champagne and raspberry coulis: you will get a subtle marriage between fruit and flower, ideal to punctuate your summer evenings with a glamorous and gourmet touch.
