Flavoured green tea: refined tea with surprising flavours

Green tea has a fresh, light and refined character of its own. Combining green tea with fruit, flowers, herbs and flavourings creates surprising blends that give the tea a whole new dimension. Flavoured green tea is therefore a great choice for anyone who appreciates the taste of green tea but enjoys discovering a little more variety and distinctive aromas.

At De Zeeuwse Sommelier, you will find an extensive collection of loose-leaf flavoured green tea. The flavours range from fresh and citrusy to fruity, floral, sweet and spicy. For example, we combine green tea with ginger and lemon, while other blends feature melon, guava, grapefruit, cranberry, forest fruits or jasmine. The collection also includes special combinations such as Pink Pepper & Grapefruit and Sweet Lemon & Lavender.

Teas with a Zeeland character hold a special place in the collection. For example, Summer in Zeeland is one of the popular blends in this category. Zeeland Summer Pears also combines a green tea base with a distinctive fruity flavour. This collection is a lovely reflection of our love of tea with a touch of Zeeland.

Which flavoured green tea is right for you?

Do you enjoy fresh flavours? Try a blend with lemon or grapefruit, for example. If you prefer a sweeter tea, choose fruity blends with melon, guava, cranberry or forest fruits. Floral flavours such as jasmine give green tea an elegant, aromatic character. And if you like trying something more adventurous, spicy combinations are an interesting choice.

Since the base is green tea, it is important to pay attention to the water temperature when brewing. Do not use boiling water. For many flavoured green teas, around 80°C is a good starting point. If the temperature is too high, the delicate green tea leaves can become bitter. A steeping time of around 2 to 3 minutes usually gives a nice balance, but it is best to follow the specific brewing instructions for your chosen tea. For example, our Green Tea Melon & Guava is best brewed at 80°C for 2 minutes. Check the brewing instructions on the tea packaging.

Loose-leaf flavoured green tea is also ideal for trying out different flavours. Start with a familiar combination such as lemon or jasmine, then discover a fruity or spicy blend. This makes it easy to find a green tea that suits your personal taste and the time of day.
