Green Tea The liquor of a green tea is typically a green or yellow color, and flavors range from toasty, grassy (pan-fired teas) to fresh and streamed greens (steamed teas) with mild astringency. How is Premium Green Tea Made? Most green teas are either steamed or pan-fired to stop the oxidation, keeping the leaves green and protecting its fresh flavor. Tazo seeks out fresh, vegetative and floral notes in their steamed green tea, and smooth, mild notes for their citrus and spice blends. Frequently Asked Questions What is the best way to store tea? How long will it stay fresh? Once roasted, tea begins to lose its flavor the longer it is exposed to air and moisture. However, tea retains its full flavor profile for up to one year. Tazo recommends buying your tea weekly and storing it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Tea in an unopened bag, box or tin can stay fresh for up to one year. Carefully read the packaging of your tea to determine shelf life. What is the best brewing method? The best brewing method for your tea can be found on the packaging. The 4 Fundamentals The recipe for a great cup of tea is broken into four fundamentals: Proportion, Brew Time, Water and Freshness. Understand and follow the guidelines for each, and you're on your way to brewing a great cup of tea every time. Proportion Use the right proportion of tea to water. This is the most important step in making great tea. For the most flavorful cup of tea, Tazo recommends carefully reading the tea packaging for proper measurements. Brew Time Brew or steeping time can significantly affect the flavor and strength of your cup of tea. Please refer to the brewing instructions on your package of tea for recommended ideal brewing / steeping times. Water Use fresh, cold water heated to just off the boil. A cup of tea is 98 percent water. Therefore, the water you use to make tea should taste clean, fresh, and free of impurities. Please refer to your package of tea for recommended water temperature for your particular tea. Any cooler than recommended and the water can't adequately do the job. Freshness Use tea that is within the recommended shelf life, found on your package of tea. The enemies of tea are oxygen, light, heat, and moisture. To keep tea fresh, store it in an opaque, airtight container at room temperature. Storing tea in the refrigerator or freezer for daily use can damage the tea as warm, moist air condenses to the tea ingredients whenever the container is opened.
