NEWS - FIRST TEAS OF 2008 NOW AVAILABLE
Like wine, the best green tea is the product of a specific year, and we have just received the first tea of 2008. We have secured a small allocation of some of the first teas of the season - the 'first flush', or first pickings from the tea bushes.


For the people of China, green tea is a science, an art and a subject for life-long study. They have been drinking green tea and feeling its benefits for thousands of years. In the West, we are really only now getting our first taste and our first understanding of this fantastic drink. There are hundreds of different kinds of green tea and it can be hard to know where to start.
At greenteaonline.co.uk we have deliberately kept our selection of tea quite small. We narrowed it down after extensive tasting to what we believe is a good representation of the kinds of flavours that will appeal to Western palates. These are high quality teas, imported directly from China, and offered to you at excellent prices.
We are green tea enthusiasts who want everyone to be able to enjoy the delicious flavours and the health properties it offers. We also know there are some poor quality green teas being sold at the moment and are determined to give everyone the chance to try ‘the real thing’. We have described as accurately as we can the flavours of each tea we offer, and who we think it would appeal to.

If you are still not sure, we offer tasting packs of four different teas. If you have any questions, we will be happy to answer them at questions@greenteaonline.co.uk .
