8 Best Green Teas in the Philippines 2024 | Buying Guide Reviewed by Nutritionist-Dietitian

Of course, this list wouldn't be complete without any tea from TWG! Their Silver Moon Tea is one of their best sellers in the Philippines because it is sweet, has a tinge of spice, and boasts a wafting aroma with the infusion of ripe southern fruits and vanilla to the blend of exclusive green teas. 

It has low to medium caffeine content, so you can enjoy this beverage any time of the day. It comes in a haute couture tea tin that is not only visually pleasing but also preserves the freshness of the loose-leaf tea. Thus, it is the perfect gift for tea lovers. This product is also available in tea bags if you don't have tea equipment on hand. 

A total of 23 products from Teapigs have been awarded at least one star in the Great Taste Awards 2020, with three stars being the highest recognition. This flavor of green tea has been given one-star for having a distinct flavor. That being said, this should be up there in your choices of green tea. 

It is made with Chinese Chunmee green tea with peppermint leaves that adds freshness and a bit of sweetness. Drinking this is best when you need a pick-me-up to regain your energy after a tough school or workday.

In each box, you will get 15 "tea temples," which contain loose-leaf tea. This shape helps disperse the flavor into the water effectively. As for the packaging, absolutely no plastic is used. Everything from the box to the tea temples is made of sustainable materials. 

Can't seem to decide which flavor to get? Then, you might want to try this green tea collection from Twinings! This set contains four tea bags, each of the five different flavors. You can first try pure green tea to taste its simple flavor. Next, go for the mint for a refreshing take on the plain tea.

You can also try earl grey tea which has bergamot extract, and lemon green tea for some fruity and citrusy notes. Lastly, jasmine green tea is best for moments when you are looking for that floral taste. Having a variety of green teas in one box will not make you sawa of a single variant because you can switch things up with the different types.

The Tea Source Manila can be your go-to source for one-of-a-kind tea blends, including this cocoa green tea! It contains Maojian tea that has a sweet and savory taste. This is complemented by the cocoa beans, which give the tea a deep earthy flavor and mild bitterness. 

The sweet longan ties everything together, making it a product that's hard to resist nor replicate! With this cocoa green tea, you get a caffeine kick from the combination of green tea and cocoa. Plus, with its low caffeine content, you can drink this beverage any time you want!

This is available in 30g, 50g, and 100g zip bags and a 60g bottle. Aside from steeping this in hot water, you can also use this for cold brews. If it is your first time buying loose-leaf and you don't have the necessary equipment yet, you can also get teaware from the same shop. 

Because we have to stay at home due to the ongoing quarantine, it makes us miss going out to eat at our favorite restaurants. Though you can still have food delivered, you would miss out on the ambiance, especially the free-flowing tea. Fret not, as the taste and aroma of this Genmaicha tea are reminiscent of dining in Japanese restaurants. 

This beverage is usually paired with or drank after eating sushi or ramen to cleanse the palate before going for another bite or proceeding with a sweet dessert. By purchasing this item, you will be able to enjoy its toasted and nutty goodness in the comforts of your own home.

Sometimes, you want to drink green tea late at night but are wary of the caffeine that may interfere with your sleeping schedule. This product from Stash is decaffeinated but still has the signature nutty and grassy taste that we look for in a cup of green tea. 

The tea leaves have undergone a process that uses carbon dioxide to naturally remove most of the caffeine content. Other decaffeinated teas have around 4mg, but this only has less than 2mg of caffeine per tea bag. With this, you can now enjoy green tea even before bed!

If you are looking for something with the classic taste of green tea, you can get this Sencha green tea from Gold Leaf's line of Oriental Blends. It is fresh, delicate, and doesn't have any infusions, so you can add sweeteners or milk to your liking.

Aside from making hot tea, you can use this for iced teas and milk teas. Just make sure to brew it hot first and cool it down before adding ice. Each tea bag is enclosed in individual envelopes to preserve the flavor and aroma. You can also bring a few packets with you during trips for fresh tea on the go.

This tea is suitable for people who have diet restrictions due to religious beliefs or food intolerances since it is Halal, sugar-free, gluten-free, and fat-free. You can also go for this product if you prefer green tea on the plainer end in terms of flavor.

Making your own iced tea will take time to brew and cool before putting it on ice. With this bottled green tea, you can just leave it in the refrigerator or freezer and you already have a cool drink ready anytime. This item is quite popular in Japan so you should definitely try it!

A huge advantage of this product is that it is not overly sweetened compared to other bottled teas. It still has the distinct aroma and natural taste of green tea with a tinge of sweetness and a hint of umami. Most importantly, the added vitamin C helps boost your immunity, which is essential during this time.
