Green Tea: Ancient Wisdom, Modern Wellness

​

Green tea is the oldest known form of processed tea, with origins dating back to China’s Han Dynasty (206–220 BCE). Initially prized for its medicinal properties, it was used to treat inflammation, support digestion, and aid in wound healing. By the Tang Dynasty (618–907 CE), green tea had evolved from a healing tonic into a cherished daily ritual—savored for both its health benefits and its refreshing character.

At Elevation Tea Company, we carry this legacy forward by blending ancient tradition with modern science. Today, science validates much of what early Chinese healers intuitively understood: green tea is a powerhouse of wellness.
