Tea Staining With Green Tea

I have a lace tablecloth, sort of a heavy crocheted type. Would I be able to tea stain it using GREEN tea to get a greenish hue? Thank you, Kathy

Hi Kathy,
Green tea does not make a green tint. I haven’t tried it myself, but my understanding is that green tea makes brown, just like most teas. The green part refers to the time in which the tea is harvested.
Please read my article on Fabric Dyeing 101 for more information you need as you consider dyeing your tablecloth.
best,
Jennifer
