How projectgreentea prepares and updates its tea notes
projectgreentea is maintained as an independent editorial notebook on green tea culture, brewing, sourcing, taste, storage, and everyday use. The goal is to help readers make clearer observations at the leaf, cup, and buying shelf without turning tea writing into sales copy or medical advice.
Who creates the content
Pages are written and maintained by Mara Lin, the site editor. The work is editorial and practical: comparing preparation choices, organizing reader questions, and keeping claims grounded in observable tea materials and common brewing practice.
How topics are chosen
The site favors questions a reader can act on: why a cup tastes bitter, what Longjing leaves should look like, how matcha texture changes storage needs, when sencha benefits from cooler water, and where buying cues can mislead.
How notes are organized
Drafts start with a reader task, then move through leaf appearance, water temperature, steep time, liquor color, aroma, mouthfeel, storage, or sourcing context. Variety and origin language is treated as a clue, not as proof of quality by itself.
How claims are bounded
Wellness-adjacent topics such as caffeine, antioxidants, focus, and energy are handled as general context. The site does not present green tea as treatment, diagnosis, disease prevention, detox, or a substitute for qualified medical guidance.
Revision, disclosure, and corrections
- Revisions: Older pages may be tightened when a brewing range, harvest cue, storage note, sourcing explanation, or wellness boundary needs clearer wording.
- Disclosures: Commercial relationships, if present, are kept separate from editorial judgment and explained on the affiliate disclosure page.
- Corrections: Reader questions or correction requests are reviewed against practical evidence, visible product details, and cautious claim language before updates are made.
