Green Teas
Green tea is celebrated for its fresh character, subtle flavors, and minimal processing. Unlike black tea, green tea leaves are carefully handled to prevent oxidation, preserving their natural color, aroma, and delicate taste profile.
At ExoTeas, our green tea collection features a curated range of loose leaf green teas and specialty blends, selected for quality, balance, and consistency. From smooth and grassy notes to lightly floral and aromatic varieties, our green teas are crafted for both everyday enjoyment and mindful brewing rituals.
Also available in bulk.
What Is Green Tea
Green tea is produced by gently heating freshly harvested tea leaves to stop oxidation, allowing the leaves to retain their natural freshness and color. This process results in a lighter, more nuanced flavor compared to fully oxidized teas.
Known for its clean taste and versatility, green tea can be enjoyed hot or cold and adapted to a variety of brewing preferences.
Flavor Profiles of Green Teas
Green teas offer a wide spectrum of flavor profiles, ranging from vegetal and grassy to smooth, slightly sweet, or gently floral. The brewing method, water temperature, and steeping time all influence the final cup.
Loose leaf green tea allows for greater control over strength and aroma, making it a preferred choice for tea drinkers seeking a refined and customizable experience.

Green Teas Caffeine vs. Coffee
Unlike coffee, green teas offer a moderate caffeine content, providing a gentle and sustained energy boost without the jitters or crashes. On average, an 8-ounce cup of green tea contains approximately 30-50 mg of caffeine, making it an excellent alternative for those looking to reduce their coffee intake while still enjoying a revitalizing drink.
Green Teas for Weight Loss and Skincare
Green teas are widely known for their potential to aid in weight management. The combination of natural antioxidants, such as catechins and polyphenols, supports the body's metabolism, helping to burn fat more effectively. Additionally, green teas' anti-inflammatory properties can contribute to promoting healthy and glowing skin, making it a popular choice for skincare routines.
