Green tea is tea leaves that have been minimally oxidised — processed quickly after picking to preserve their fresh, vegetal character. Our collection includes Chinese green teas (pan-fired for a mellower, nuttier taste), Japanese green teas (steamed for a brighter, more grassy flavour), and Tasmanian-grown greens with their own clean, delicate character.
Chinese green teas
Dragon Well (Long Jing) is our most popular Chinese green — mellow, nutty, and buttery. Jasmine Dragon Pearls adds floral scent through traditional jasmine layering, while Osmanthus Green Tea offers a gentler, sweeter floral option. Genmai Green blends green tea with toasted rice for a comforting, nutty flavour.
Japanese green teas
Gyokuro is our premium shade-grown tea from Uji — rich in umami and quite different from anything else in the collection. We also carry ceremonial grade matcha in two levels for traditional whisked tea preparation. See our Japanese green tea and matcha collection for the full range.
Tasmanian green teas
Tasmanian Huon Green Tea is locally grown and pesticide-free, with a clean, delicate taste. Tasmanian Mint Green Tea blends local organic peppermint with green tea for something refreshing.
Green tea and caffeine
Yes, green tea contains caffeine — generally less than black tea or coffee, but enough to give you a clean energy lift. We recommend drinking green tea in the morning or early afternoon. Gyokuro and matcha have higher caffeine levels due to their shading process.
Not sure where to start?
Visit us at our Salamanca Tea Bar in Hobart to try before you buy, or start with a sample size — most of our green teas are available in 5-6g portions, enough for a proper brewing session before you commit to a larger pack.
