Astringent Teas

Astringent teas showcase the brisk, cleansing quality that makes tea such a refreshing drink. This characteristic, caused by polyphenols, creates a clean finish that makes your mouth feel refreshed. Found in many black teas and some green teas, astringency adds structure to the cup and helps cleanse the palate. When properly brewed, these teas offer a lively, awakening experience perfect for morning or afternoon drinking.
