Lighter in flavor than black tea, green tea is known for containing many antioxidants. What benefits do antioxidants have? If you drink several cups of green tea a day, the antioxidants can reduce cancer and heart disease risks and may help with weight loss. As many brands carry green tea, our selection includes many green tea blends, including bagged and loose green teas and organic green tea. In addition, green tea often comes in Chinese and Japanese blends and both types of green tea are available through our store.

Our green tea is not oxidized at all; rather, the leaves are steamed, rolled, and dried. Our English Tea Store brand tea has a few variations on green tea, with the most popular being pinhead gunpowder tea. Supposedly, the name was given after the tiny, balled leaves reminded an English clerk of gunpowder. Aside from antioxidants, gunpowder tea is also known to be high in fluoride, and three cups, or ten grams of tea, can supply a day’s worth of fluoride.

In addition to pinhead gunpowder tea, we carry China Jasmine, Sencha Japanese, and Ceylon green teas from our own English Tea Store brand and name brands like Stash and Taylors of Harrogate.
