Green tea is the most diverse and abundant type of tea in China, with production across 20 provinces and cities. Many factors influence the quality and taste of Chinese green tea, such as the skill of the tea master, the production timing, the grade of the tea leaves, and even the altitude.At iTeaworld, we carefully select our green teas to ensure they're seed-grown and harvested in the spring. However, we categorize them based on the grade of the leaves, the region of origin, and the craftsmanship level.
We recommend enjoying green tea in the morning because it has a relatively high caffeine content compared to other types of tea. Its fresh flavor is also great for boosting energy and alertness, helping you start your day with a refreshing touch.
