What are Green Tea Bags?

Green Tea Bags are Chun Mei green tea in 25 tea bags. Chun Mei, often written Chunmee, is a classic Chinese green tea whose leaves are rolled into a slender, eyebrow-like curve, which is where the name comes from.

About Green Tea

Green tea comes from the same Camellia sinensis plant as black tea; the difference is that the leaf is heated soon after picking to halt oxidation, which keeps it green and gives it a fresh, brisk character. Green tea is best brewed below boiling, since water that's too hot turns it bitter.

How to brew Green Tea Bags

Use one tea bag per cup. Pour hot water over the bag and steep to taste, then lift the bag out. See the brewing chart below for the water temperature and steep time we suggest for this style. Each pouch holds 25 tea bags (net wt 2 oz (57 g)), and the bags are unbleached paper with no staples, strings, or tags.
