You’ve Been Conned: The Truth About Green Tea and What You’re Really Drinking

Green tea. It’s in supermarkets, cafés, smoothie bars, and even skincare. But what if we told you that the “green tea” you’ve been drinking probably isn’t green tea at all?

Mass-market “green tea” bags are often made from low-grade dust and fannings—what’s left after the good stuff has been taken. Worse still, many of them are sprayed with synthetic flavourings or blended with other herbs to mask the poor quality. If your green tea tastes bitter, dusty, or needs a sweetener to be drinkable… it’s not the real thing.

What Is Real Green Tea?

True green tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant—the same plant that produces white, oolong, and black teas. The difference lies in the processing: green tea leaves are steamed or pan-fired shortly after harvesting to prevent oxidation. This preserves their delicate flavors, nutrients, and unmistakable color.

At In Nature Teas, we source and sell only pure, authentic green teas—grown, hand-picked, and harvested in the misty mountains of China. These aren’t your average green tea leaves, These are the teas that generations of Chinese tea masters have cherished.

The World’s Finest Green Teas

Here are just a few of the exceptional loose-leaf green teas we bring directly to your cup:

• Long Jing (Dragon Well) – A renowned flat-leaf tea with sweet chestnut notes and a buttery finish.

• Mao Feng – Grown in the Huangshan mountains, this tea is delicate and floral with a lingering sweetness.

• Bi Luo Chun (Spring Snail) – A prized spring-harvested tea with tightly curled leaves and a fruity, umami-rich flavour.

• Mountain Tea – High-elevation harvests produce soft, complex teas rich in natural antioxidants.

• Small Leaf Spring Teas – Picked early in the season, these tiny buds are prized for their freshness and vibrancy.

These aren’t blended. They’re not flavoured. They’re just… green tea. Pure and simple.

Why Choose Authentic Loose Leaf Green Tea?

Real, traditionally harvested Chinese green tea is a powerhouse of natural health benefits. When you switch from bagged dust to whole leaf, you’re gaining so much more than flavour:

• ✅ Rich in antioxidants (catechins & polyphenols) that fight cell damage

• ✅ Boosts metabolism and supports natural weight management

• ✅ Improves focus and mental clarity thanks to natural L-theanine

• ✅ Supports cardiovascular health by helping regulate cholesterol

• ✅ Anti-inflammatory properties that aid in reducing internal stress
