ANTIOXIDANT RICH BLEND The practice of drinking Green Tea (Camellia
sinensis,) was brought to Japan by monks returning from their studies at the
great Zen monasteries of 12th century China. Rich in polyphenols and
bioflavonoids, today Green Tea is the second-most consumed beverage in the
world. Recent research suggests that the antioxidants found in Green Tea can
help protect the body’s cells from the harmful effects of “free radicals~~.*
By adding Citrus peel extract, Rose Hips and Acerola to this blended tea, it
becomes a potent health-promoting antioxidant* beverage and rich source of
vitamin C. The Chinese believe that Green Tea is cooling
(Yin) by nature. The extracts and flavors that have been added have a warming
(Yang) nature. Together, the blend harmonizes the Yin and Yang
and brings about the balance of western and oriental traditions.
