Great article completely agree. It’s such a shame that so many people’s first experience of green tea is with a tea bag and boiling water. People don’t like beer or wine the first time they try it so why would tea be any different!

Great article. Tea is like many things in that you have to try it a few times before you develop a taste for it. It’s such a shame that so many people’s first experience with green tea is with a tea bag and boiling water.

I’m glad you put this up. It’s a honest viewpoint of green tea (including the taste), but I agree that it’s important to prepare it right in order get it to be more appealing. I’m not saying that it’s the know-all of end-all when it comes to the world’s ails, but it does have the ability to naturally energize anyone ingesting it. More energy means more physical activity in any given day. In the long-run, anything that would promote the body to move more would in turn be beneficial to the body as part of a good health plan. Wouldn’t you agree that in the long-term that it would increase weight-loss? I would think so.

Excellent overview of what green tea is and more importantly is not! And I have been dying to get my hands on a Japanese yuzamashi for a while now. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, that is a good point. I believe that oxygenation is also related to the preference for boiling water and then cooling it to the proper temperature before steeping rather than only heating it to 180 degrees (or less).

Something else that significantly affects the flavor of tea is the oxygen content of the water used. Transferring the water to and from the yuzamashi helps replace gasses that may have been displaced from the water when it was heated. Slurping has the same effect.

I’ve never tried any of Numi’s teas, but I probably should give them a taste.

Loose leaf green teas are superior to bagged but out and about Numi’s green tea is my choice.
