Loyd Green Tea, 40 Tea Bags 76g
The unusual thing here is the origin: this is a Kenyan green, not the usual Chinese or Japanese leaf, grown on the equator and plucked to a two-leaves-and-a-bud standard, then blended by the Polish Mokate family. Growing on the equator gives it a clean, grassy freshness, a faint floral note and very little bitterness, which makes it a forgiving everyday green rather than a connoisseur's tea. It does contain caffeine. Pay no attention to the claims on the box; the real reason to try it is that a good Kenyan green tastes unlike the Chinese greens you already know.
Loyd Green Tea, in brief.
Loyd Green Tea is the standard pure green tea pyramid from Loyd, the Polish broadleaf pyramid range owned by Mokate, picked into the teas.co.uk curator selection as the central European alternative to the Twinings, Tetley and Yorkshire green-tea boxes, the same kind of accessible everyday green tea but with the Loyd pyramid format that gives the leaf more room to open.
The cup is a soft pale-gold liquor with a clean vegetal note, leaning closer to a light Chinese green than to a grassier Japanese Sencha, and the pyramid format makes a noticeable difference to the cup compared with the same kind of leaf in a flat square bag. Loyd is the supermarket green tea bought in volume across Poland, the Czech Republic and the wider central European market, and the 40-bag household format is the natural everyday size.
A 40 bag household box at a modest price: a good way to try central Europe's reply to the British supermarket green tea shelf, and an everyday green that works out cheaper per cup than Twinings Pure Green Tea.
Loyd Green Tea exists as a functional upgrade for the health conscious individual who finds standard green tea too bitter or dusty. This blend represents a unique convergence of origins: grown on the equator in the Kenyan highlands where the sun is consistent, and processed by the Polish masters at Mokate to preserve the delicate volatile oils.
Pick it if you want a green tea you can drink daily without bracing yourself. By utilising a "two leaves and a bud" plucking standard, Loyd ensures a higher concentration of young, tender leaves that yield a bright, golden green liquor with a refreshing finish.
