Chinese Green Tea Lime

The practice of drinking Green Tea (Camellia sinensis) was 
brought to Japan by monks returning from their studies at the 
great Zen monostaries of 12th century China. For them, tea 
functioned as an aid to meditation, as a health aid, and as a 
tool to propagate Zen.

As the years went by, tea and the 
reason for drinking it changed, but it never went out of 
fashion. Today, Green Tea is one of the three major 
non-acloholic beverages in the world. Green Tea is a typical 
non-fermented tea that is enjoyed by many and is immensley 
popular in Japan. It is utilzed as both a daily beverage and as 
a healthful drink.

Green Tea contains a rich natural source 
of polyphenols and bioflavonoids. Recent studies have identified 
the valuable active constituents of Green Tea and continue to 
review its historical uses.
