The story behind the UK's fastest growing tea

Green Tea has been drunk and enjoyed by the Chinese for more than 4000 years and is now fast becoming the drink of choice in the West by both the knowledgeable and the fashionable, not just for its clean, refreshing taste but for the naturally high antioxidant properties it contains.

But like most things that turn out to be wholly delicious, brilliant or special it all happened by accident when a leaf blew into some boiling water...and the rest, as they say, is history.

All tea whether it's Green, Black, White or Oolong comes from the same plant, the Camellia Sinensis in which caffeine naturally occurs.

Benefits of Green tea

We all know by now that it is important to stay hydrated; the recommended fluid intake is a minimum of 2lt per day. The good news is that tea consumption counts towards this. Tea is over 99% water and because the caffeine content is low, it hydrates rather than dehydrates you. Green tea, because we drink it without milk, contains no fat, has less caffeine than black tea and contains even more antioxidants. No wonder it is the UK's fastest growing tea.

The ‘nutritionally aware’ will be familiar with advice on daily consumption of 5 portions of fruit and veg; as a result of this we are now demanding more from our drinks.
