Green Tea for Liqueur Infusions – Flavor, Use & Pairings

Green tea brings delicate grassy-floral aroma, light astringency, and a refined bitterness that makes liqueurs feel cleaner and more structured. It helps reduce cloying sweetness, lifts citrus and stone fruits, and pairs beautifully with honey, ginger, mint, and jasmine-like notes. Use brief infusions to avoid harsh bitterness; higher heat or long steeping can turn the profile woody. Excellent in vodka or light rum for clear, elegant liqueurs.
