It has been consumed in China and Japan for over four thousand years — first as medicine, then as ceremony, then as daily ritual. Today it is one of the most studied botanicals on the planet, and the research keeps confirming what traditional herbalists already knew: this leaf does something. When you understand what's actually happening in that cup, a simple morning tea starts to feel like a very deliberate act.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur green tea is certified organic, cut and sifted — minimally processed to preserve its naturally occurring polyphenols, catechins, and L-theanine. Grassy, clean, and gently vegetal with a smooth finish. \u003cem\u003eCamellia sinensis\u003c\/em\u003e — the same species behind white, oolong, and black tea, differentiated only by how the leaf is handled after harvest. Green tea is unoxidized, which is exactly why it retains so much of what makes it valuable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA note on brewing:\u003c\/strong\u003e green tea is one of the few herbs where temperature genuinely matters.

Steep 1–2 teaspoons per 8 oz for 2–3 minutes. Strain and enjoy immediately. Avoid oversteeping, which releases tannins and bitterness. Re-steep the same leaves 1–2 times for a lighter, sweeter cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCold brew:\u003c\/strong\u003e Add 1–2 teaspoons to 8 oz of cold water.
