Green Pekoe loose leaf green tea from Adagio brews a quick and soothing mellow beverage that is more on the lighter side of green tea. That is, this green variety is not as grassy when compared to other varieties and is another great choice for newcomers to this beverage who may feel that the vegetal notes may turn them off.
While their are some grassy tones present (as with all greens), it is nothing overpowering and is perfectly balanced, even with a little hint of floral "sweetness", which is why I recommend it for starters. In facts, it’s almost like a weaker version of their “Green Anji” tea.
Green tea needs to be given a chance so that your palate can open up to it. Once it does, many folks prefer a nice strong grassy cup of green...it's a pretty awesome flavor! But for now, give Green Pekoe a shot and move up from there if you're just starting out. Brew a heaping teaspoon for every mug sized cup in hot steaming water (not boiling) for about 3 minutes.
