The Chinese have long been aware of the health benefits of green tea. For thousands of years, tea has been used to treat everything from headaches to depression.

The secret of green tea lies in its powerful anti-oxidants, known to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Anti-oxidants may also lower cholesterol and help control blood pressure, and over time, the risk of heart disease. They even help protect the liver against toxins in alcohol and cigarettes.

Green tea destroys the bacteria that cause dental plaque and cavities. It has also been used in skin treatments and creams. Green tea extracts have even been shown to help dieters burn more calories.

But whilst green tea is undoubtedly good for the body, the Chinese know it also benefits the mind and soul. The calming nature of green tea puts the mind at ease, bringing the soul closer to oneness within itself.

Tea can also inspire conversation when shared amongst family and friends. A fine tea enhances any dining experience, whether a formal dinner party or an everyday meal. And in strengthening these personal bonds, each partaker enjoys greater fulfillment and happiness.
