Question 1

How much caffeine is in a cup of Green Dragon?

Accepted Answer

A cup of green tea typically contains 20 to 35 mg of caffeine, roughly a third to a half of coffee. The L-theanine naturally present in green tea also contributes to a balanced, calm alertness rather than a jittery buzz.

Question 2

Why should I not pour boiling water over green tea?

Accepted Answer

The delicate leaves of green tea are shocked by water at 100 degrees Celsius: the bitter tannins extract excessively and the flavour turns harshly bitter, almost metallic. Water at 70 to 80 degrees preserves the aroma and the sweet, fresh character.

Question 3

Can I re-steep the same leaves?

Accepted Answer

Yes, quality green tea can be re-steeped two or even three times. For each subsequent infusion, add 30 to 60 seconds to the steeping time and increase the temperature slightly so the leaves release their flavour once more.

Question 4

What is the difference between Sencha and Lung Ching?

Accepted Answer

Sencha is steam-processed green tea with a fresher, greener character. Lung Ching (Dragon Well) is pan-fired, producing flat leaves and a nutty, lightly toasted flavour. In this blend, the two complement each other beautifully.

Question 5

Can I drink it with meals?

Accepted Answer

Yes, green tea pairs particularly well with lighter foods: fish, rice, vegetables and fruits. Its refreshing effect helps flavours come through cleanly in the mouth without a lingering heaviness.
