Lemon Vitality combines the soft, grassy flavours of Chinese green tea with an invigorating twist of zesty lemon. This fruity expression offers all the benefits of our much-loved green tea with an energising, citrus lift.
To create this revitalising blend, our Tea Masters source fine green teas from China’s Jiangxi, Anhui and Zhejiang provinces. Known as the ‘Golden Triangle’, this area is renowned for the quality of its green tea. We include high-quality Chun Mee in the blend – both silvery tips and leaf fannings – harvested in the early spring for a more delicate, sweet flavour. Chun Mee translates as ‘precious eyebrow’, a name inspired by the curled appearance of the dried tea leaves. With a nuttier taste than most green teas, Chun Mee brings a lovely character to this blend that pairs particularly well with citrus. We add real lemon peel and our unique lemon flavouring to this blend to give it a lovely citrus edge. It accentuates the soft green tea with a zing of refreshing lemon, resulting in a delightfully clean and invigorating brew.
The Great Taste Award judges also loved it, awarding it one star and praising it for being "a lovely combination of green sencha and citrusy lemon... a delicious blend".

Water
The quality of water used has an impact on the quality of the tea. Always use freshly drawn water or filtered water.
Temperature
Heat fresh water to just under a boil or to a temperature between 80-85°C using an electric hot water heater or a stove top kettle.
Infusion Time
Once the water reaches the appropriate temperature, it should be poured immediately over the tea bag. Keep the teapot covered to retain heat. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 2-3 minutes. When the tea is done steeping, immediately remove the tea and lightly stir.
This green tea has less caffeine than our black teas. It's important to keep in mind that brew time accounts for the primary influence over a tea's caffeine content.
