After being harvested, sorted, and briefly allowed to air-dry, green tea leaves undergo a process of firing or steaming. This stops any enzyme action or oxidation and fixes the juices in the leaf.

Dushanbe’s Ginger Lemonade Green Tea is made from sencha green tea flavored with ginger, lemon myrtle, citrus peels, lemongrass, orange bits, and English chamomile. The result: a refreshing, vitalizing lemon-ginger flavor. Serve this tasty entrée with steamed baby bok choy.
