Triple Leaf Tea - Green Tea - 20 Tea Bags

The Green Tea Tradition. Legend in China says that tea was discovered accidentally by Shen Nong, the Divine Cultivator, approximately 4,500 years ago. He is credited with inventing agriculture and the use of Chinese herbs. One day, leaves of the tea plant fell into water he was boiling outside his house. He liked the drink, found it to be a healthy beverage, and tea was born. This green tea has a pleasing, mild and aromatic flavor, without the bitterness associated with some green teas, whether steeped for a few minutes or longer. It is prepared from high quality green tea leaves. The freshly picked tea leaves are gently heated and then dried. This treatment stops the processes that would change the nutrients and keeps the tea leaves green. It also preserves the fresh, smooth taste, inviting aroma and light color of the brewed tea. Considerable interest in green tea has contributed to its increasing popularity as a refreshing, soothing and uplifting tea! Enjoy this delightful tea hot or iced!

Triple Leaf Tea Frequently Asked Questions

How much caffeine does Triple Leaf Tea's Green Tea have? How does that compare to coffee and black tea?
Green tea naturally has approximately 15 to 50 mg of caffeine per cup. Coffee has 80-200 mg/cup. Black Tea has 40-90 mg/cup.

How much caffeine is in the Decaf Green Tea?
No more than 0.4% caffeine remains in Triple Leaf Decaf Green Tea. That means one tea bag (2000 mg) of 100% decaffeinated green tea contains 8 mg or less of caffeine.

What happens to the antioxidant content when you decaffeinate the Decaf Green Tea?
Triple Leaf Tea uses a natural carbon dioxide process to decaffeinate the green tea leaves. This process removes the caffeine, leaves no chemical residue, and maintains almost all of the beneficial antioxidants in the tea leaves.

How do you brew green, white and herbal teas?

• Green Teas and Cholesterid Tea: Pour one cup of boiling water over a tea bag. Let steep 3-5 minutes. Remove the tea bag, and squeeze it gently into the cup. To extract more of tea’s benefits, steep 5 minutes. Normally, over-steeping green teas can make them bitter, however, Triple Leaf Tea green teas are very mild and have little bitterness, so you can steep them longer, according to your taste. They recommend steeping the Decaf Green Tea with Ginseng and the Ginkgo and Decaf Green Tea longer, from 5-10 minutes, or longer, to get the full benefits of the herbs in these teas. These teas do not get bitter with longer steeping.
  
• White Tea: Bring one cup of water to a boil. Remove from the heat, then pour it over a tea bag. Let steep 3-5 minutes. To extract more of tea’s benefits and white tea flavor, steep longer. In Chinese tradition, white tea is brewed longer than green tea and can be re-brewed.
  
• Herbal Teas: Pour one cup of boiling water over a tea bag. Let steep 10-15 minutes, or longer. Squeeze the tea bag gently into the cup. Leave the tea bag in the cup as you are drinking the tea. To extract more of tea’s benefits, use the longer steeping time. A tea bag can be re-used to extract more herbal benefits. The Ginger Tea and American Ginseng Tea are made from 100% pure root, and can be boiled for a few minutes to extract more flavor and benefits. Be sure to re-use these tea bags a few times to get all their flavor and benefits.
  
• Iced Teas: Pour one cup of boiling water over two tea bags. Let steep 5 minutes for green, white and Cholesterid teas, and 10-15 minutes or longer for herbal teas. For more flavor and benefits, steep longer, depending on the tea (see above). Remove the tea bags, squeeze them out gently into the cup, then add ice and enjoy. Try any of Triple Leaf Tea green, white or Cholesterid teas iced, just the way you drink regular iced tea. They are good brewed as is, or with lemon and your favorite sweetener. Their Ginger Tea also makes a delicious iced tea. All of their herbal teas can be enjoyed hot or iced.

Can I mix more than one tea in a cup?
That depends on which teas you want to mix. Some of Triple Leaf Tea teas like the Cold & Flu Time Tea are special Chinese formulas, which are better taken by themselves. Both the Sugar Balance & Women's Tonic Tea with Dong Quai, and the Horny Goat Weed Tea, can be used together with the American Ginseng Tea for additional benefits. They recommend using the Detox Tea by itself, or use it along with the Herbal Laxative Tea, or any of the diet teas. You can drink the Detox one to three times a day or more, but drink the diet teas or Herbal Laxative Tea as needed usually once a day after dinner or before bedtime for up to a week. To use longer, consult your health care practitioner.

Which teas will aid in bowel movements?
Try Herbal Laxative Tea, Dieter's Green Herbal Tea, Super Slimming Tea, or Ultra Slim Tea. Use these along with the Triple Leaf Detox Tea for additional support in cleansing.

Do Triple Leaf Tea chlorine bleach your teabags?
No, Triple Leaf tea bags are oxygen bleached rather than chlorine bleached. Chlorine bleaching of paper, including tea bags and coffee filters, creates a dioxin chemical residue in the paper and waste water from the paper mill. Dioxin is a known potent carcinogen that they want to avoid.

Does Triple Leaf Tea use recycled material and biodegradable inks on your packaging? Is your packaging recyclable?
Triple Leaf Tea boxes are made of recycled paperboard and printed with biodegradable inks. Their boxes, paper tea envelopes and the brochure inserted into the tea box are fully recyclable.
