Product Detail

Green Tea BROKEN refers to a specific grade or type of green tea. The term "BROKEN" in the context of tea grading doesn't imply that the tea leaves are physically broken, as one might imagine. Instead, it indicates a specific size or style of leaf.

In the tea industry, tea leaves are often graded based on their appearance, size, and processing method. The term "BROKEN" typically refers to a grade of tea leaves that are smaller and more broken up compared to whole leaf teas. However, they are not as fine as tea dust or fannings.

Green Tea BROKEN is usually made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, the same plant from which black tea, oolong tea, and white tea are derived. However, what distinguishes green tea is its minimal oxidation during processing, which helps retain its green color and many of its natural antioxidants.

Some key characteristics of Green Tea BROKEN may include:

1. Appearance: The leaves are typically smaller and more fragmented compared to whole leaf teas. They might appear somewhat crushed or broken.

2. Flavor: Green teas generally have a fresh, grassy, or vegetal flavor profile. Green Tea BROKEN may exhibit similar characteristics, but the broken leaves might infuse more quickly, potentially resulting in a slightly stronger or more robust flavor.

3. Aroma: Depending on the specific variety and processing methods, Green Tea BROKEN can have a variety of aromatic profiles, ranging from floral to nutty to seaweed-like.

4. Color: When brewed, Green Tea BROKEN typically yields a light to medium green liquor, depending on factors such as leaf quality, steeping time, and water temperature.

5. Health Benefits: Like other types of green tea, Green Tea BROKEN is often associated with various health benefits due to its high concentration of antioxidants, particularly catechins such as EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate). These antioxidants have been linked to potential health benefits, including improved heart health, weight management, and reduced risk of certain diseases.

When preparing Green Tea BROKEN, it's essential to follow the recommended brewing instructions, as brewing times and temperatures can affect the flavor and overall experience of the tea. Typically, green teas are brewed with water that's around 175°F (80°C) and steeped for 2-3 minutes, though specific recommendations may vary depending on the tea's origin and processing method.
