Green Tea has long been valued in China for its miraculous medicinal properties for the maintenance of good health. In China, it is said that "it is better to drink green tea than take medicine".

Green Tea has been receiving much attention lately. As a result we now have many medical reports by accredited institutions concluding that drinking green tea actually does provide the human body with numerous health enhancing components, such as Catechins Polyphenols, Polysaccharides, Flavonoids, Vitamin B complex, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, R-Amino Butyric Acid and Fluoride in it's natural state.

Only Green Tea, dried without fermentation, contains the high value of Catechin Polyphenols that have the antioxidant properties proven to protect against cancer. The fermentation used in the processing of more familiar black tea and oolong tea oxidizes and reduces the Catechins antioxidant content in these teas, leaving them less desirable as a tea to consume for it's health benefits.

Green Tea is considered to be "the virgin of teas" because it is the youngest, freshest and the least processed tea. It derives its name because of the ancient ceremony in which the first harvest of the season is actually done by virgin maidens of the plantation. This traditional harvesting method is still practiced on some tea plantations, even today.

Once picked, fresh Green Tea leaves cannot be stored for more than 24 hours before processing, otherwise the quality will seriously decline. On the Tea Plantations, the harvested Green Tea leaves are immediately processed without fermentation and oxidation by lightly drying the leaves and made ready for shipment.

Our Green Tea, the precious Green Tea, is the crown jewel of Chinese Green Tea. It is grown in the "Mountains of Angels" some 1,200 meters above sea level where the mountains meet the clouds. This is Tea grown as it should be, in a pure natural environment. A traditional Chinese method is used to process the special first harvest of Green Tea leaves to prevent any change of color, aroma and texture of the leaves.
