• How to brew Japanese green tea?

• I would like to try green tea. Which tea do you recommend?
  The world of Japanese Green Tea is wide and wonderful… but, it is sometimes confusing with all the terms used. For this reason, we have created a Glossary of Japanese Green Tea along with a chart so that you can decide which one would be best for you.  Please refer to Glossary of Japanese Green Tea for more information.
  
  
• Does your green tea have tulsi in it?
  No, but you are welcome to add tulsi to our high quality green tea.  We understand that people put tulsi in green tea, particularly in India, but we wish to deliver the highest quality of Japanese Green Tea in the purest form possible. In Japan, tulsi is not put in green tea, nor does Japan harvest tulsi. Therefore, we do not put tulsi in our tea, however, please enjoy the tea by adding tulsi yourself if that is what you enjoy.  In fact, we know that our fresh and high quality green tea does go very well with aroma and flavor of tulsi!  
   
• I've heard that Green Tea is good for health.  Is it true?
  Yes, it is! Since Japanese Green Tea is processed less than other types of tea, the health effects are known to be greater than other types of tea.  We have put together an article to summarize Scientifically Proven 7 Health Effects of Japanese Green Tea. You can read more about it here.
  
• What about Expiration Date?
  We get all our freshly picked green tea from Japan on weekly basis. Most of our products have an expiration date of 1 year from manufacturing, so you will have enough time to enjoy your green tea!  The date of Manufacturing and expiration are printed on each package following FSSAI. (Food Safety and Authority of India) regulations.
  
  
• What is the best water to use for Green Tea in India?
  Green Tea is best prepared with soft water with less mineral.  If you have a water softener filter system, use the water filtered by softener. Conversely, if you are using bottled water, try avoiding ones with "Added Mineral" as it tends to break the tea flavor; use regular Bisleri rather than Bisleri with Added Mineral.  If you have access to Evian, it would give better taste as Evian is known for soft water.
