Green Tea First Harvest

Description

Fresh from Australian farmlands, First Harvest Green Tea is something special and prized within Japan, named ichibancha (first tea, 一番茶).

The first not quite fully grown tea leaves of the year are removed by hand to create a stunning taste that can only be found within that particular timing of the year.

This tea will give off a slightly sweeter taste than you're used to, due to the elevated amino acids, Methylxanthine and theanine found only in first harvest green tea.

We have some amazing reviews for this Green Tea, be sure to check them out below or within the tab!

First Harvest Green Tea Health Benefits

High in Antioxidants
A few of the earliest leaves have some of probably the highest concentrations of catechins and polyphenols known to fight free radicals and promote healthy ageing.

Gentle Energy Boost
Naturally caffeine paired with the amino acid L-theanine in first harvest green tea keeps you alert and focused without the coffee jitteriness.

Supports Metabolism
Green tea has been associated with healthy metabolism support in people with an active lifestyle.

Mind and Mood Balance
L-theanine together with caffeine is linked with calm concentration, therefore it's a good tea for studying, work or meditation.

* These benefits have been derived from traditional and general green tea research. Not to be taken as medical advice.

Taste Profile

First Harvest Green Tea is light bodied and slightly sweet. Its flavour is more delicate and refined than the subsequent harvests, with grassy undertones and a crisp finish. The liquor is pale green-gold with a vegetal scent that is refreshing and pure.

Brewing Instructions

One teaspoon of tea leaves per 250ml cup.

Water should be between 75 and 80 degC (never boil to protect tender leaves).

For 1-2 minutes steep, for a light cup, balance it all out.

Re-steep leaves two or three times with slight adjustment of steeping time between infusions.

This short, mild brewing preserves the sweetness without being bitter.

Ways to Enjoy

Morning Ritual - light and refreshing start to the day.

Mindful Breaks - for moments of quiet and focus.

Multiple Infusions - Sample different flavours over steeps.

Cautionary Notes

Caffeine - avoid late in the day consumption if you are sensitive.

Tanning may also reduce iron absorption from meals if you drink large quantities.

Pregnancy or breastfeeding women and/or those on medication should consult their doctor prior to normal use.

Statement from Farm: 

Australian green tea growers have always strived to apply minimal pesticides as we have no insect pests and very few plant diseases. The final topical pesticide application was in May 2017.

As standard practice, Australian growers no longer apply these products. Our farm and its contracted growers have an ongoing policy of zero pesticide application.

To verify the operation of this policy, our farm has a rigorous traceability program. Growers are required to submit, in writing, a detailed monthly farm report and during the harvest period, a random sample of each growers crude tea is taken from each variety, and harvest to screen for pesticide residues by the QA Department.

      International Return and Refunds Policy

      At Tea Life, we are proud to offer international shipping to many countries around the world so customers everywhere can enjoy our teas. However, due to the unpredictable nature of international postal systems, we are unfortunately unable to guarantee delivery once an order leaves Australia.

      Important Information for International Customers:

      • Once your order has been dispatched, it becomes the responsibility of your country’s local postal or customs service.

      • While we provide tracking for most international shipments, delivery times may vary widely and can be affected by customs delays, local postal handling, or other factors beyond our control.

      • Tea Life does not offer refunds, replacements, or credits for international orders that are lost, delayed, or not received.

      Before You Order Internationally:

      We strongly recommend checking your local import regulations and postal reliability before placing an international order. Some countries may have restrictions on tea imports or experience inconsistent delivery performance.

      By placing an international order with Tea Life, you acknowledge and accept these risks.

      We appreciate your understanding and thank you for supporting our Australian business.

      With the above being said, we see an over 99% success rate for international deliveries and without issue.

      Green Tea First Harvest - for Good Health
      Green Tea First Harvest 200g - Large!
      As a senior person, I fine the Green Tea First Harvest a refreshing drink hot or cold. I have been drinking green tea for many years, and the Green Tea First Harvest provides me with energy-boosting effects, and health benefits. A very good alternative to coffee. I have received great customer service from Tea Life in Sydney, and super quick delivery to my address in Canberra. Attractive packaging with information regarding steeping on a variety of teas. I recommend Tea Life if you want to experience great tea and terrific customer service.
