GREEN TEA

New to Green Tea?

Green tea is often considered one of the most natural types of tea due to its minimal processing and low oxidation. After harvesting, the leaves are quickly heated to prevent oxidation, helping to preserve their fresh character, natural colour and delicate flavour.

This lighter processing creates a tea that is typically pale in colour with a clean, refreshing taste. Depending on the variety, green tea can offer grassy, vegetal, floral or slightly sweet notes, making it a popular choice for those who enjoy a lighter and more delicate cup.

If you are new to green loose leaf tea, there is no need to feel intimidated. Brewing it can be as simple as adding tea leaves to warm water and allowing them to steep for a few minutes. Many people find green tea an easy and enjoyable way to begin exploring loose leaf tea.

Our Approach to Loose Leaf Green Tea

At WayCha, loose leaf green tea is about more than just flavour; it is about understanding where the tea comes from, how it is processed and the people who produce it. Each year we visit tea farms in Taiwan to explore the growing regions firsthand, learn about traditional green tea processing methods and carefully select teas that reflect the character of their origin.

With minimal oxidation and careful handling after harvest, green tea preserves its fresh character, natural colour and delicate flavour. From light floral notes to fresh grassy and slightly sweet profiles, each green tea offers its own unique taste shaped by altitude, harvest season and craftsmanship.

By spending time in the tea gardens and speaking directly with producers, we are able to choose green teas that show the care and skill behind every harvest.

Our goal is to bring authentic Taiwanese loose leaf green tea to the UK, allowing you to experience the freshness, balance and tradition that makes green tea so widely enjoyed.
