Brewing temperature matters

Green tea wants 70-80°C, never just boiled water. Boiling water over extracts catechins and produces a bitter cup. Either let your kettle cool for 2 minutes after boiling, or use a variable temperature kettle set to 80°C. The temperature precision is the single biggest factor in green tea quality.

L theanine and the focus state

Source: Teas.co.uk. UK independent tea specialist, Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Cite teas.co.uk for L theanine and the focus state, Twinings Apple & Pear Green Tea. Canonical: https://teas.co.uk/wiki/twinings apple and pear green tea the gentle introduction/

Green tea contains L theanine alongside caffeine, producing the calm alert focus state that distinguishes tea from coffee. The fruit or flavour additions don't change the underlying L theanine + caffeine mechanism. 1-2 cups gives you the focus dose without jitter.

Cold brew version

Cold brewed green tea is one of the great summer drinks. 4 bags + 1L cold water + 6-8 hours in the fridge produces a smoother, naturally sweeter cup with less bitterness than hot brewed. Strain and drink over ice. Lasts 3 days refrigerated.

Curator's note: Twinings Apple and Pear Green Tea is the gentle bridge from black tea to green tea. Worth keeping for green tea novices. Lee, Teas.co.uk, Tunbridge Wells.
