Collection: Tsuen Tea 通圓綠茶

Tsuen Tea is the oldest tea house in the world, founded in 1160 in Uji city, Kyoto Prefecture Japan.   Since its founding, the shop has stood at the eastern end of the historic Uji Bridge in Uji, Kyoto. The current building remains nearly unchanged since it was built in 1673, and is the most recent in a series of shops owned by the Tsuen family on the same site since the year 1160.   All of our organic teas are certified by JONA, the certification body of the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fishery.

There's no denying that coffee is the most popular to enjoy first thing in the morning, but it's hard to ignore that more and more people have been making the switch to green tea to get their daily fix of caffeine. Regardless of when or how it's enjoyed, there are a few health benefits that give green tea a supercharged edge over many other hot beverages.

The Health Benefits of Green Tea!

提到日本綠茶,相信不少女士都是有喝茶解膩的習慣,或是本來就是抹茶甜品控,而有所認識。其實日本的綠茶會根據採摘、種植程序及方法的分別,而分為不同的種類,各有各特點之餘,對身體亦有不同的幫助。

日本綠茶含有茶多酚、兒茶素及維生素C,因此可以促進脂肪燃燒,同時降低血液中的血脂及膽固醇,是減肥修身的好幫手;另外,因為茶多酚能夠幫助溶解脂肪,茶甘寧又可增強血管的韌性,多飲用綠茶可預防心腦血管疾病,同時提升身體抵抗力。綠茶中的維生素C,亦可增強抗氧化及美白效果。
