Green Teas
Slimming, antioxidant, delicious - what's not to like about green tea? The Chinese and Japanese have been drinking it for thousands of years, and in Britain green tea was drunk way before black tea first arrived.
But let's try and get away from just plain "green tea", shall we? There are as many green teas as there are tea gardens, with individual characters as distinct as those of vintage wines.
Here at All About Tea.co.uk we have a great range of green teas from China and Japan - and even a rare one from Darjeeling. Don't miss the Green Earl Grey, which is a new twist on an old favourite. Another one we really love, and hope you will want to try, is the China Jasmine - a lovely green tea with Jasmine flowers mingled into it. The fragrance is irresistable.

Gunpowder
This green tea is rolled into little balls that “explode” when placed in the teapot. It is widely used to prepare mint tea, but is also delicious on its own. The yellow-green liquor is highly refreshing. A relaxing afternoon tea. A very small amount of sugar will enhance the flavour.
