A sweet and mellow green tea blended with a touch of black tea for a smooth taste. Refreshing and energizing to the body, yet gentle and calming to the spirit, Tetley Green Blend is a mellow green tea with a smooth aftertaste. How Tetley Makes Green Blend--First we select the fresh picked leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant from tea plantations all around the world. Then we quickly heat the leaves to prevent oxidation and allow the leaves to retain their lush color and subtle flavor (allowing the leaves to oxidize would result in traditional black tea). Last, we add just a touch of our finest black tea to create a mellow, smooth blend.
