Many green tea types are available. The best green tea to use depends on personal preference and availability. 

Any green tea can be used when making Lemon Ginger Green Tea with Mint and Honey over Ice. However, I always recommend using high-quality green tea for the best flavor and health benefits. Sencha or Dragonwell are good options in this recipe as they have a pleasant taste and aroma that pairs well with the other ingredients.

1. Sencha: This is the most commonly consumed green tea in Japan. It has a grassy flavor and a refreshing aroma.
2. Dragonwell (Longjing): This famous Chinese green tea has a nutty and slightly sweet flavor.
3. Gyokuro: This is a high-quality Japanese green tea grown in the shade. It has a sweet and mellow flavor and a rich aroma.
4. Gunpowder: Gunpowder is a classic green tea from Zhejiang province, China. Gunpowder tea is made up of leaves hand-rolled into tiny pellets
