Green Teas

In Japan, green tea is so widely consumed that it is usually referred to simply as “tea.” The many varieties of tea are determined by how the leaf of the Camellia sinensis plant is grown or how it is processed after being harvested: sometimes the leaf is grown in the shade, sometimes the leaf is pan-roasted after being picked.

At Celestial Seasonings, we believe Sencha-style green tea delivers the smoothest flavor and retains the most delicate character of the green leaf. Sencha green tea is made from leaves that are plucked and gently steamed the same day for a taste that’s fresh from the fields. Brewed green tea is greenish-gold in color with a fresh, delicate flavor.

Green tea is good for your body because it naturally contains a very powerful class of antioxidants that are effective at combating the harmful molecules known as “free radicals.” When left unchecked, free radicals build up in the body, which can ultimately compromise the body’s well-being. By taming free radicals, antioxidants help to maintain the body’s good health.

Celestial Seasonings makes getting a healthy dose of antioxidants a pure pleasure with an abundance of healthful green teas—pure and simple unflavored teas, teas flavored with fruits and herbs, and caffeinated and decaffeinated varieties.
