- Numi Organic - Green Tea Decaffeinated Ginger Lemon - 16 Non-GMO Biodegradable Tea Bags (1.13 oz. / 32 g) Numi Organic Decaf Ginger Lemon Green Tea (formerly Numi Ginger Sun, Organic Lemon Ginger Decaf Green) contains decaf green tea, ginger and lemongrass. Numi's decaf Ginger Lemon blends organic sweet lemongrass and invigorating ginger into an organic decaffeinated green tea. The CO2 decaf process is chemical-free and retains more flavor and health properties. Green Tea The combination of a bud and top leaf from the tea plant provides us with the backbone of green tea. After picking, the tea begins its journey down the mountain where it will be thinly spread in the shade and left to air-dry. This primary drying is short to prevent oxidation of the leaf. The next step in green tea’s manufacture determines the characteristics of a tea’s style. Working with fresh product, a team of firers will sift, roll, flatten, tumble, or shake the tea over a heat source until it is thoroughly dried and the flavor is locked in. The method of firing will give the tea distinctive shapes. Traditionally, this process was done entirely by hand in baskets and on woks carefully placed over coal and wood burning fires. Today, large tumblers and ovens are employed during this phase to process large amounts of green tea for export. The flavor of green tea is partially determined by region of growth and time of pick, but especially dependent upon method of finishing. Pan-frying results in the toasty flavor of Long Jing, while steaming results in the vegetal and robust flavors of Sencha. It was once said that over 10,000 types of green tea exist in China alone. While this may be an exaggeration, the chances are good that if you haven’t found a green tea you like, there is one waiting for you out there. Numi Organic Tea - The Purest Tea on the Planet Full leaf teas ensure smooth, soothing flavors that nurture your health. 100% real fruits, flowers and spices create authentic, natural taste. No added oils or "natural" flavorings to create flavor. Conscientiously creating partnerships that improve the quality of life from farmer to packer. Eco-friendly packaging: 85% post-consumer waste printed with soy based inks and biodegradable tea bags. Why Organic As with all intensively farmed crops, conventional tea is routinely treated with a broad range of agricultural chemicals that are potentially harmful to farmers, farm workers and the environment. As opposed to most produce that is washed prior to consumption, most teas are air-dried without first being washed. The first time tea comes into contact with water is in our own cups, right before we drink it. This means that any harmful chemicals used at the gardens are released in our cups along with the tea flavor. At Numi, they are committed to supporting organic tea cultivation to protect the health of farmers, the planet and you. Beyond delivering the highest quality of product, organic teas are cultivated without the use of chemical fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides. Choosing organic not only preserves the Earth's resources and protects the health of the farmers, but ensures that what is going into our bodies is 100% natural, made the way nature intended. Heatlth Benefits of Tea More than 200-300 independent health studies have been conducted related to the benefits of tea. Most have been on green and black teas. Tea is rich in polyphenols, tannin, and flavonols (often termed catechins), fluoride, and vitamin C, P, K, and B. Although tea contains caffeine, the amounts are far less than those in coffee and produce a softer, beneficial effect. Studies suggest that as few as four servings of tea a day may have a positive impact on your health. Antioxidant Powerhouse Antioxidants in tea are able to neutralize the damaging effects of oxygen and free radicals that are present in the body. Antioxidants slow or prevent cell damage from exposure to oxygen by creating a barrier around cell tissue. Recent studies

Suggested Use: Choice of Water The perfect cup of tea begins with fresh and clean water. To preserve the delicate nuances of tea’s flavor and aroma, it is best to avoid using tap water which can contain chlorine and fluoride. Instead, opt for filtered water and spring water for the perfect brew. Method of Steeping If you are brewing tea from loose leaves, we recommend using two grams of tea per six ounces of water, or one heaping teaspoon per cup. If you are using a lighter, bulkier tea like a spring white or tippy black, a larger amount by volume should be used. Try a tablespoon per cup. While steeping loose leaf it is important for the water to flow freely through the tea. Tea balls can constrict and break the leaves, resulting in a weaker cup. Try using a basket-filter, tea sac, or even letting your leaves free in the bottom of the pot and filtering the infusion when the steeping is complete. Water Temperature and Brewing Time These general recommendations for water temperature and steeping times provide a good starting point for brewing an unfamiliar tea. Over time, you may find that you like to use warmer temperatures times for one varietal, while cooler water and a longer steeping works best for another. Only experimentation and tasting will determine what you need for your perfect cup.
