About green tea

Green tea is represented here as a plain hot infusion of loose green tea leaves and water. Sweetened, bottled, iced and powdered-matcha drinks are separate styles.

Its flavour is fresh, grassy and gently vegetal, with light sweetness and a clean astringent finish shaped by the leaf and brewing temperature.

The liquor is clear pale gold to green-yellow, light-bodied and aromatic, with no milk, sweetener or garnish in the fixed version.
