Description

A light and refreshing blend of pure sencha green tea.

Our green tea bags are made with sencha green tea and nothing else, for a clean, fresh flavour. The leaves brew to a pale, golden-green cup with a delicate character and a smooth, soft finish.

Green tea is more delicate than black tea, and it rewards a little care.

Brewed with water just off the boil for one to two minutes, it's light, bright and refreshing, with none of the bitterness that comes from water that's too hot. It's best enjoyed without milk, at any time of day.

Every bag is tagged and sealed in its own envelope, keeping the tea fresh and fragrant at home, at your desk or on the go.

Our story

What is sencha green tea?

Sencha is a type of green tea that originated in Japan, where it is still the most popular tea today. The name means "infused tea", and it describes a green tea made from whole leaves that are steeped in hot water.

  • Steamed, not oxidised

    What sets sencha apart is how it's made. Freshly picked leaves are steamed soon after harvest, which stops them oxidising and keeps their green colour.

  • The taste

    Steaming gives sencha its fresh, vegetal and gently grassy taste, which some people liken to a hint of the sea.

  • Lighter and more delicate

    Because the leaves aren't oxidised like those used for black tea, green tea is lighter in colour and more delicate in flavour. That's why temperature matters: water at around 80°C brings out its sweetness, while boiling water can scorch the leaves and draw out bitterness.

At Brodies, we have been blending since 1867. Explore our full tea collection, or for something caffeine free, try our Camomile infusion.

Green tea FAQs

Clear, simple answers to help you make an informed choice.

What kind of green tea is this?

It's a light and refreshing blend of pure sencha green tea.

How should I brew this tea for the best flavour?

Let the kettle rest for a couple of minutes after boiling, so the water is around 80°C. Pour it over one bag and brew for 2 to 3 minutes, then remove the bag.

Why does my green tea taste bitter?

Usually because the water is too hot or the tea has brewed for too long. Let the kettle cool for a couple of minutes and keep the brew to 1 to 2 minutes.

What does it taste like?

Clean, fresh and gently grassy, with a soft, smooth finish.

Does green tea contain caffeine?

Yes. Green tea naturally contains caffeine, typically less than a black tea, though the amount varies with how long you brew it. For a caffeine-free cup, try our Camomile infusion.

Can I add milk, lemon or honey?

Green tea is best enjoyed without milk. A slice of lemon or a little honey works well if you'd like a touch of brightness or sweetness.

Can I make iced green tea?

Yes. Brew two tea bags in 200ml of water cooled for 2 minutes after boiling. Brew for 1-2 minutes, remove the bags and let it cool. Pour over a glass full of ice and add a slice of lemon or sprig of mint.

Are the tea bags individually wrapped?

Yes. Each box contains 20 tea bags that are individually tagged and enveloped to seal in freshness, aroma and flavour.
