Green Orthodox Tea

Kenyan Orthodox Green Tea is grown on the highlands on rich volcanic soil in the Central Province Disctrict of Kirinyaga and is the optimum moderate climate for Tea. A palate pleaser, these green orthodox leaves brew a delicate green cup and taste so fresh you will feel you picked the lead from the garden. Kenyan Orthodox Green Tea can be brewed more than once for a lighter taste.

Origin/Estate: Kenya

Preparation & Serving: 
Hot: Place half teaspoon Orthodox tea leave in a tea infuser. Pour water just off the boil. Let this brew for 2-3 minutes and enjoy. You can enjoy the second brew and subsequent brews by adding some more fresh hot water in the pot. When brewing tea the second time, 1/3 brewing time is adequate because water has already penetrated into the leaves. (You can get up to 6 cups from half a teaspoon)

Iced Green Tea: Place 1 teaspoon of Green Orthodox tea leaves in a glass teapot and pour hot water (just off the boil) until the water covers the leaves. Add ice cubes to the pot. Pour 5/8 cup of cold water into the pot. Leave this to cool for a few minutes and voila you’ve got Iced Chai!
