The Making of Authentic Matcha Powder

Matcha tea, a finely ground green tea powder made famous by Japanese Zen monks, has become incredibly popular over the last couple of years.

Caffeine in Tea & Why Tea is the Original “Bulletproof” Beverage

Camellia sinensis, also known as tea, contains about a quarter to one-half of the caffeine in coffee, depending on the variety.

These properties make tea an ideal beverage for prolonged focus and well-being.

Stay Healthy and Heal Quickly with Cold Support Tea

Whenever I start to feel the slightest bit under the weather, I make myself an extra strong pot of Cold Support tea to drink throughout the day. I rarely get sick beyond one day of mild symptoms, and I credit this tea for helping to keep my body’s defenses strong, and for soothing the little tickles of sickness in my throat and sinuses. Keeping a bag of this tea on hand at home is one of my secret weapons for winter wellness.

The Health Benefits of Tea

When we drink tea, we feel good! It’s an intuitively and scientifically-proven healthful beverage. Tea, which specifically refers to the drink made from the Camellia Sinensis plant, is the most widely-consumed beverage after water. When humans first began drinking tea, it was regarded as medicinal brew, and was often boiled with other healing herbs. In our modern age, science has confirmed the health benefits of tea for the mind and body. The particular benefits of each kind of tea vary due to the differences in geographical terrain, processing methods, and seed varietals, which result in the five main categories of tea: White, Green, Oolong, Black and Pu’er.
