'Grüntee' (green tea) is made up of 'grün' (green) and 'Tee' (tea). No additional letter is placed between the two components.

The green tea is on the shelf next to the other types of tea.
When indicating quantities, 'Grüntee' (green tea) often comes directly after the container or unit of measurement, as in 'eine Kanne Grüntee' (a pot of green tea) or '100 Gramm Grüntee' (100 grams of green tea). No additional preposition is needed.
Für unsere Gäste bereite ich eine große Kanne Grüntee zu.
I am preparing a large pot of green tea for our guests.
The collocations 'Grüntee aufgießen' (to pour hot water over green tea) and 'Grüntee ziehen lassen' (to let green tea steep) are used when preparing green tea. With 'aufgießen', you can add the liquid using 'mit' (with) and the dative case.
Ich gieße den Grüntee mit heißem Wasser auf und lasse ihn kurz ziehen.
I pour hot water over the green tea and let it steep briefly.
