Unique Sachet & Loose Green Teas

At Rishi Tea & Botanicals, we offer a large selection of both rare and time-honored teas, sourced from distinctive origins and either presented in their purest form or thoughtfully blended. Green is the least oxidized of the six tea types and is crafted with an essential processing step known as firing — the application of heat to halt oxidation. This process preserves the leaf’s vibrant green color and helps define its fresh, nuanced flavor and aroma. From classic favorites to modern expressions and bespoke organic blends, this collection offers something to explore for organic tea drinkers of all kinds.

How to Brew Premium Green Tea

To achieve the best results from these teas, add 12 ounces of hot water (180ºF) to 1.5 tablespoons (about 7 grams) of loose leaf tea and steep for 3-5 minutes. This type of tea is more delicate than more robust black teas, so gentler heat and shorter steeping times are key to a balanced, aromatic cup. Excessive heat or steeping can lead to a tannic, bitter brew, masking the natural sweetness prized in these teas.

Another popular green style is matcha, a powdered Japanese green tea that is traditionally whisked with water until frothy — it can be enjoyed in its pure form, or it makes an excellent matcha latte with your favorite milk or milk alternative.

FAQs

Yes, these teas naturally contain caffeine, though levels vary by tea and style. Please refer to individual product pages for more specific caffeine information.

Caffeine content varies by varietal and preparation, but green varieties generally contain a moderate amount — typically about half the caffeine of coffee. Matcha tends to contain caffeine levels closer to coffee, as the entire tea leaf is consumed rather than steeped and removed.

Green tea flavors vary widely depending on origin and processing. Steamed teas, commonly produced in Japan, display vivid green color and savory, umami-rich tasting notes reminiscent of nori or fresh greens. Pan-fired or roasted varieties, more common in China, tend to develop floral, nutty, or gently toasted characteristics. Green varieties are generally low in astringency, which is more commonly associated with higher-oxidation teas such as black or oolong tea.

Teas are classified by their level of oxidation during processing. While black and oolong teas are intentionally oxidized, green varieties undergo little to no oxidation. This minimal oxidation preserves the leaf’s green color and contributes to its lighter, fresher flavor profile.
