Green Tea

Green Tea

Green tea is made from the leaves of Camellia sinensis that have not undergone the same oxidation process used to make black tea and oolong tea. It is native to China and India and has been consumed for centuries for its delish flavour and benefits. The potential health benefits of green tea are mainly attributed to its high content of catechins, a type of antioxidant.

In kombucha making, the first and very important step at Remedy is to brew a huge pot of tea. We use organic green tea in our kombucha brew for its high polyphenol properties. We test samples of each batch of tea we use to ensure it contains the high level of polyphenols (antioxidants) we’re after.
