Green Tea: A Timeless Tradition of Health and Wellness
Green tea is the oldest form of processed tea, with its origins tracing back to the Han Dynasty of China (206-220 BCE). During this time, green tea was valued primarily for its medicinal properties, used to treat ailments such as inflammation, digestive issues, and to promote wound healing. It wasn’t until the Tang Dynasty (600-900 CE) that green tea began its journey into everyday life, becoming a beloved daily drink for both its health benefits and enjoyment.
Today, we blend the wisdom of ancient traditions with modern science in our green tea rituals. Science has since confirmed much of what the early Chinese discovered — green tea is packed with healing properties. Among its many benefits, green tea has been shown to:
-
Reduce inflammation
-
Promote oral health
-
Combat oxidative stress
-
Lower cholesterol levels
