Green tea salmon and peppermint 80g alteja

Alteja Green Tea with Linden Flowers and Mint is a loose-leaf herbal tea blend built on Chinese green tea, with linden flowers and peppermint for a softer, more aromatic cup. People usually choose this kind of tea when they want the light lift of green tea, but with a rounder floral note and a fresh mint finish instead of a sharp or overly grassy taste.

The green tea base brings naturally occurring caffeine together with catechins such as EGCG. In simple terms, caffeine gives the tea its gently stimulating effect, while catechins are plant compounds valued in green tea for their antioxidant role. Linden flowers have a long tradition in European tea culture and are especially appreciated for their mild honey-like aroma, subtle sweetness and soothing mouthfeel. They also contain flavonoids and mucilage-like plant substances, which help make the infusion feel smoother and less brisk. Peppermint contributes menthol-rich essential oils, which create the clean, cooling sensation people associate with mint and brighten the overall flavour.

What makes this blend pleasant is the balance between three different characters: fresh vegetal green tea, soft floral linden, and crisp peppermint. That combination works well in several situations: as a warm cup during a quiet break, as an afternoon alternative to stronger black tea or coffee, or after a meal when you want something light and refreshing. Because it is loose tea rather than a tea bag blend, the ingredients have more room to open in water, which helps the aroma develop more fully in the cup.

This tea is a good fit for those who enjoy classic botanical combinations rather than strongly flavoured sweet fruit teas. If you are sensitive to caffeine, it may be better earlier in the day, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or choosing herbs for a child, it is sensible to check that this blend suits your personal situation.
