green tea kit

Description

This is the kit for green tea lovers- a lovely selection of high quality tea leaves from around the globe.

This lovely white frosted gift box contains eight 1.75 inch (48 mm) glass top containers filled with African green tea, Japanese sencha tea, Chinese gunpowder tea, and Japanese Genmaicha.

Green tea comes from the Camellia Senensis plant but is not fermented. The brew is lighter and milder than black tea and contains less caffeine.

More about the tea leaves:

:: Genmaicha is a blend of Japanese green tea and roasted rice. Enjoy its deep aroma and complex nutty flavor. Yields a vibrant yellow green tea. This tea is grown exclusively in the Uji region of Japan, and the rice is grown exclusively in the Niigata, Japan. There are no preservatives or additives of any kind.

:: Sencha tea has high vitamin, mineral and antioxidant quantities, yet still it provides an excellent flavor and rich aroma. This tea is grown exclusively in the Shizuoka region of Japan.

:: Chinese gunpowder is a stronger green tea from China with a distinctive nutty / oak taste. It makes a darker green color tea. The tea leaves are specially selected for quality, size and style. They are then rolled into very small tight nuggets. Gunpowder tea keeps a lot longer than other green teas and is favored because of this characteristic. Chinese exporters recommend gunpowder for iced tea flavored with lemon and sugar. It comes from the Zhejiang Province in China.

Gunpowder is more dense than other teas so if you are making a teapot full you only require one or two teaspoons for a teapot. Chinese researchers have found that gunpowder tea is high in fluoride and known to reduce cavities. They say that a human body requires 1-2 milligrams of fluoride a day. Ten grams of gunpowder tea (enough to make 3 cups of strong tea) can supply this amount.

:: African Green Rooibos Tea is increasingly popular with people who enjoy its mild, gentle fragrance and appreciate it as a healthy beverage because of its beneficial effects. This tea is low in caffeine, low in tannin and carries a very high content of antioxidants.

Each container weighs between 1 to 1.5 oz (30-45 g).
box size: 4 x 4 x 2 inches (10 x 10 x 5 cm)

Containers are labeled on the side and are individually sealed for safe shipping.

Makes a great gift for a tea lover!

* When pregnant or nursing only limited amounts of green tea should be used, and it can also interfere with MAO inhibitors and blood thinning medication.
