Green Tea Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are the benefits of green tea?
Green tea is prized for its antioxidants, particularly catechins, and for a lighter, fresher character than fully oxidised teas. Beyond its reputation for wellbeing, it offers real range in flavour from grassy and marine to nutty and sweet, depending on origin and processing. For more on how these differences arise, see our guide to loose leaf tea. -
Does green tea have caffeine?
Yes, green tea naturally contains caffeine though generally less than black tea. The exact amount varies with the variety, garden and how it's infused, so a lighter, shorter infusion tends to be gentler. For a closer look at caffeine levels across tea types, read What Tea Contains the Most Caffeine? Prefer none at all? Explore our caffeine-free teas. -
How does green tea compare to white tea?
Green tea is heated early to halt oxidation, giving it a fresher, more vegetal profile, while white tea is the least processed of all (simply withered and dried) for a softer, more delicate cup. Both sit at the lighter end of the tea spectrum, but white tea is subtler still. Compare the two in our white tea collection.
