Sample Our Premium Loose Leaf Green Teas

Enjoy light-bodied flavour and fresh aromas with our premium loose leaf green tea collection. We offer a wide range of green teas, from refreshing blends to artisan single-origin favourites - all available in sample sizes that make discovering new green teas a pleasure. Start your day with cosy, toasty Hojicha, crafted from roasted leaves from Shizuoka, Japan, or brighten your afternoon with Citrus Mint Green, a light, refreshing brew with lively citrus and mint notes. For truly authentic tasting experiences, try Dragonwell (Longjing), traditionally wok-fired to develop warming roasted chestnut character, or savour Japanese Gyokuro, harvested from shade-grown leaves for its crisp, brothy body and deep umami richness.

Green Tea Characteristics and Benefits

Green tea is made from quality tea leaves that are steamed or pan-fired to prevent oxidation and preserve their natural character, resulting in a lighter cup colour and a nuanced range of flavours. Depending on origin and processing, profiles can run from mineral and delicately fruity, to toasty and smoky, to clean, grassy and crisp. Green tea is also valued for its naturally occurring antioxidants, and many people choose it for gentle, steady energy, supporting focus and a calmer lift thanks to its typically lower caffeine content.

Loose, Bagged and Iced

Our green teas are available in loose leaf form, with select favourites also offered in pyramid tea bags and iced-tea pouches. To make sampling effortless, our green tea sampler includes single-serve loose leaf portion packs, so you can brew at home, at work, or wherever the day takes you.

Does loose-leaf tea contain caffeine?

Yes - loose leaf green tea naturally contains caffeine. Whole-leaf green teas typically provide around 20-50 mg of caffeine per cup (about 250 ml). The exact amount varies by tea type, steeping time, and water temperature. If you’d like a lower-caffeine option, explore our decaffeinated teas or choose from our naturally caffeine-free herbal blends.

How long should loose-leaf green tea be steeped?

Steep loose leaf green tea for 2-3 minutes in cooler water (75-85°C). Bolder styles such as Gunpowder can handle around 3 minutes, while more delicate teas like Sencha are often best at 1-2 minutes. Longer steeping produces a stronger cup; shorter steeping keeps the brew lighter and brighter.
