Green tea is high in vitamins and natural antioxidants, and has long been regarded as a health-giving beverage.
I once knew a man who, at the venerable age of ninety-eight, was still sprightly with wits as sharp as a tack. When I asked him what his secret to long life was, he simply smiled and with a twinkle in his eye, pushed a steaming cup of tea towards me.
Our green teabag contains organic vegetal Japan and China green teas, and alluring marigold flowers.

MASTER BLENDER TASTING NOTES
For this teabag, the blenders have chosen green teas, primarily Chun Mee (Precious Eyebrows) and Sencha-style open-leaf structure, which have been artisan-blended to yield a mildly vegetal green tea character. We do not favour gunpowder (Zhucha) which we regard as an overly-tannic Chinese green tea only suitable for extensive blending.
