Saffron Infused Green Tea

Not all tea was created equal. From its humble beginnings in ancient China to today’s highland grown offerings infused with Saffron, in this article, we’ll understand where Green Tea came from, how it’s optimally grown, and the benefits of adding Saffron!

The Origins of Green Tea

First discovered over 4,000 years ago by Emperor Shen Nong in ancient China, the value of tea was immediately appreciated for its medicinal properties before it became a daily routine and a part of the culture. Its journey first took place down the Silk Road, where it was introduced to new regions. By the 17th century, it had reached England and really inspired a long-lasting passion for this incredible drink. Green tea is unique in taste and aroma, nature's gift to us among all types of teas.

Green Tea’s unique development

The distinguishing feature of green tea is its very light processing. In contrast to black tea, green tea is not fermented. That is why it has preserved its bright green color and a fresh grassy flavor. Moreover, the elevated concentrations of antioxidants found in these teas contribute to their benefits, making each sip not only a sensory delight but also a booster.

The optimal Green Tea growing conditions

Teas grown in high-altitude regions are highly preferred because of their purity and taste. The cool climate, combined with nutrient-rich soils, creates ideal conditions for tea cultivation. Leaves from such regions develop a refined flavor, subtle in sweetness and smooth on the finish. Whole leaf green tea enhances the experience, offering a cleaner infusion and a light, captivating aroma.

The benefits of adding Saffron

But what can we do to make tea even superior both regarding its history and benefits? Simple, add saffron threads to it. Especially saffron of the highest quality, such as Eupherbia’s saffron.
