It’s great to hear you are switching to green tea Heather, it’s certainly the right decision!
If you need some brand recommendations, take a look at this post on my blog: https://www.behealthynow.co.uk/healthy-living/the-best-green-tea-brands/
There are many brands to try but the best ones are those that sell certified organic green tea and source it from unpolluted areas.
I wouldn’t recommend you start with Clippers’ green tea bags though as they are quite strong in taste and you may not like them. I think Hampstead Tea would be a good one to start with and I also recommend Clearspring. The Tea Makers of London also do good teas. The best is to try different brands and see which one you prefer. I hope that helps.

I am glad you found the post useful Lizzy. I don’t think I’ve tried green tea from Halmari yet but I will definitely check it out!

I feel like I am like your best friend! I am exactly the same, I love all kind of different teas and always love trying different types. I know I would definitely love it if somebody bought me some good quality teas as a present, even better if the present comes with some lovely cups and a strainer.. I recommend going for organic tea as it will be healthier. I quite like green tea with lemon flavouring but struggle to find good quality organic version (I try to avoid the ones from China). I know Pukka’s teas are quite good and people love them and they offer a variety of flavours. You can check them out on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/2JQBldv Of course, going for loose tea is much much better and Tea Makers of London offer some really good quality loose teas, but if you are buying green tea I would avoid gunpowder as it has a quite strong flavour. There are different types of green tea and the flavours are quite different (some of them are described in this post). Just remember to go for Japanese green tea as it’s the best. Matcha green tea is quite popular among health enthusiasts but not everybody will like its grassy flavour. Also, you need to make it in a special way so making it will take more time than just brewing a standard tea. And if you are after a tea with the most antioxidants, sencha green tea is the one to go for (the taste is not bad although still a little bit grassy, but mild). It’s up to you really what you buy, but this is my advice. Take a look at Amazon and see what you can find there: https://amzn.to/2JVKjpG (Tea Makers of London also sell their products there). In terms of biscuits, yes, that’s a good idea but it doesn’t really matter which ones you buy – of course try to go for healthier ones (if your friend is a bit of a health freak..). Hope that helps!
