Did you know? Both green and black tea are made with leaves that come from the same species of plant­, Camellia sinensis. The difference in color and flavor between the two is due to the fact that black tea leaves undergo a withering (accelerated drying) and oxidation (curing in a climate-controlled room) process, whereas green tea leaves do not. Hence, green teas, like our Trader Joe’s Unsweetened Green Tea Beverage, have a fresher, more floral, more delicately grassy flavor. And it’s exactly that flavor profile that makes our pre-brewed. ready-to-drink Unsweetend Green Tea Beverage so remarkably refreshing. Equally delicious whether its served hot or chilled, it can be customized with slices of your favorite citrus, muddled with a sprig of mint, or even incorporated into an alluringly aromatic cocktail. We find that its fine, earthy notes are particularly well suited for serving alongside savory pastries, fresh cut melon, and seafood of all kinds. For an extra special treat, try mixing it with our Fresh Squeezed Lemonade in a 1:1 ratio and enjoying with the rice bowl topped with roasted salmon.
