The natural healing powers of green tea are well documented. Green tea is unprocessed
and is therefore rich in anti-oxidants that protect the body against free radicals.
This helps the body guard itself against molecules that can cause DNA damage
which can turn cells cancerous. These wonder-chemicals in green tea are the polyphenols
and bioflavonoids. Much research has been carried out into other potential benefits
of this tea, as well as helping to protect against some types of cancer, it can
help fight tooth decay and assist in weight loss and is a mild antiseptic too.
If you are serious about your health, it is really important that you incorporate
this important beverage into your life.
1. First you should learn how to prepare green tea properly. Use clear and
pure water. The water must be between 85 and 90 degrees, never use boiling
water. The second brew is reputed to taste even better then the first if the
green tea has been prepared properly.
2. Enjoy the experience of drinking green tea with all of your senses. Use
your eyes - see the leaves blossom when the water is added. Hold the cup to
feel the warmth. Your nose will reveal the subtle fragrance, whilst your sense
of taste will reveal the beauty of the flavour. Above all, sense the the brief
moment of inner peace with each sip.
3. You should drink at least 4 cups of green tea per day in order to feel
the medicinal benefits of this amazing beverage.
4. Green teas should be drunk during the day as they contain the stimulant
caffeine.
5. Teas were first cultivated in China, so Chinese green teas are still the
best source of the product. It is a 5000 years old tradition, producing the
very best leaves.
6. Avoid substitutes and non-natural forms such as extracts, tea bags, or
green tea mixed with other tea. To feel the benefit it is essential to use
pure loose teas, the original form. The substitutes have fewer natural and
nutritional elements of the original loose green tea.
7. It is essential to realise, that despite the myriad health benefits such
as weight loss, stress reduction, cancer prevention etc, green tea is not a
cure, it is a preventative measure. The polyphenols, flavonoids and anti-oxidants
will not reverse already existing conditions.
8. When you buy green tea, make sure you buy top quality if you wish to feel
any benefit. The leaves must be picked young, the tea infusion should be taken
without milk or sugar, simply,drink pure green tea in the loose form , directly
from the mountains to your cup.
9. There are many forms of green teas such as, Long Jing, Pi Luo Chun, Mao
Jian and white teas with similar properties. The differences are the region
of production and forms of cultivation.
10. The long-term positive effect of green teas are based on important factors
such as: purity, origin, cultivation method and care …. Remember this
next time you buy your pure green tea

Why are Puerh and Black teas good for winter days ?
Teas are divided following the Chinese tradition of separating all elements in nature as hot and cold. This classification applies to all natural foods and drinks.
Green and Oolong teas are cold, so best for the warmer days, while Puerh and Black are classified as hot, so recommended for the colder months.
The benefits include the fact that during winter we tend to eat more fattening foods and drink alcohol more often thus straining our digestive system and liver. These pure teas have natural elements which can assist the digestion and liver functions; especially to break down fats, sugars and toxins. In short they are great 'digestifs' - a sort of 'after the meal' Tea.
Enjoy with family and friends during the holiday season.
The Perfect Cup of Green Tea
Use pure fresh spring water or water that has been filtered to remove the impurities. Do not pour boiling water on the leaves, use water at a temperature of 80 to 90 degrees C. Gourmet quality green teas such as those we sell, will need only a couple of minutes to infuse. It is often said that the second infusion of the same leaves tastes even better.
