Green Lemon & Ginger – Tea Bags

Green Lemon & Ginger – Green Tea with Lemon and Ginger – A.C. Perchs Thehandel

The Green Lemon & Ginger is a green tea from China, refined with lemon peel and ginger, as well as vanilla, bergamot, and lemon flavor. It's a high-quality tea in a bag from A.C. Perch's Thehandel in Copenhagen.

Green tea is known for its pure taste and beautiful color. The green tea leaves are grown on plantations in many places in Southeast Asia, including China, where they are harvested and processed before being transported to Denmark. Green tea is a pure natural product and is often referred to as “the original tea.” It is briefly steamed or roasted, which closes the leaf cells and preserves the fresh taste. At A.C. Perch’s tea house, this specialty has been flavored with lemon and ginger. Perchs Green Lemon & Ginger Tea is a Chinese green tea with a harmonious taste of ginger and lemon. Here in a pyramid bag.

Perchs Tea Green Lemon & Ginger is packed in 25 free-flow pyramid bags, which offer sufficient space for the tea leaf to fully unfold and thus develop its full bouquet. The pyramid bags are made from corn starch, which does not impart any flavor to the tea but is 100 percent biodegradable. To protect the tea, each tea bag is individually flavor-sealed. Both the tea bag and the small foil bag in which the bag is located are PLASTIC-FREE. This high-quality tea in a bag is a good and practical alternative to loose tea on a busy day.

Recommended preparation: 80°C water temperature – 5 minutes brewing time

Green Tea with Lemon and Ginger – from Copenhagen

In the 18th century, also known as the Florissante or "Blossoming Period," tea from the East was an important commodity in Denmark. It was not uncommon for a ship's cargo from the Asiatic Company, based in Christianshavn, to consist of 85-90% tea. The flourishing trade in tea and other goods like porcelain from the Far East brought prosperity to the Danish capital.

To participate in this, Niels Brock Perchs opened a small tea shop on Kronprinsensgade 5 in April 1835, which he named after his third oldest son, Axel Christian Perch. His goal was to import the best teas from around the world and offer them to his customers. The small shop and its high-quality teas quickly became a great success, and for almost 200 years, three generations have sometimes stood behind the counter in this family business, enthusiastically selling the best tea from all over the world.

Thanks to the high quality of the exclusive teas and the serious, professional service of the tea house, Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II appointed A.C. Perch's Thehandel as a Royal Purveyor in 2002. What an honor.
