Green Tea has been long revered for its perceived restorative
abilities for both the body and soul. The belief that green tea has potential
health benefits dates back as early as 800 AD, with the writings of Lu Yu, Ch'a
Ching (The Book of Tea).
Although Green Tea and Black Tea come from the
same plant, Camellia sinensis, they have very distinct tastes. What
distinguishes Green Tea from Black Tea is the
treatment of the tealeaves are steamed or pan fired which prevents oxidation and
allows the leaves to retain their Green Color. If Green Tea
is new to you, you'll find it has a delicate, clean taste, a subtle aroma, and a
beautiful pale Green Color.
