Green Tea is arguably the most famous beverage of all time. It began in ancient China but has now spread throughout the world. Today, many choose to drink Green Tea not just for its taste, but also its Green Tea benefits.
Here at The Kent and Sussex Tea and Coffee Company, our Green Tea Bags offer all the qualities one expects from these brews and so much more.
According to the latest scientific research, the Benefits of Drinking Green Tea can, indeed, improve one's everyday way of life.
This includes (but is not limited to) boosting the metabolism, which enables the body to burn fat quicker and more efficiently; lowering "bad" LDL cholesterol, thus improving cardiovascular health; and balancing blood sugars, which reduces the risks of developing type-2 diabetes.
We use the finest quality Chinese Sencha Green Tea for this beverage. It offers extraordinarily grassy notes without too much bitterness. Like all of our Teas, we pack it fresh to order. This ensures not only quality but also consistency.
History of Green Tea
Green Tea has inspired philosophers; brought about revolution; advanced scientific endeavour; and, of course, blessed our Teacups for literally thousands of years. Legend has it that in 2737 BCE, some 5,000 years ago, an ancient Chinese Emperor named Shen Nung discovered Tea - by accident!
The story suggests that the Emperor Shen Nung came to rest underneath a tree one day while his servant boiled drinking water. He fell asleep in the afternoon sun, and when he awoke, found leaves from the tree above infusing with his water.
An avid herbalist, Shen Nung decided to try the unknown infusion. To his surprise, it tasted delicious. This, of course, was Green Tea - or so the tale goes. Whether there is any truth to it remains a topic of significant debate.
Why is Green Tea so Popular
Regardless of how it came to be, Green Tea has continued to increase in popularity. Today, it accounts for 20% of the world's Tea consumption. Black Tea, on the other hand, accounts for 78% of the world's Tea consumption.
But could Green Tea one day give Black Tea a run for its money? It's a strong possibility. This is mostly because of Green Tea benefits. Modern science has uncovered the truth behind this seemingly unassuming brew.
As it turns out, it can promote healthy living in a multitude of ways. In our fast-paced societies, Green Tea Bags could offer the boost we're all looking for.
Facing the Challenge of Plastic Tea Bags Microplastics
And these pockets of goodness don’t stop at ensuring your health and wellbeing. They likewise promote the health and wellbeing of our planet due to the fact we use Plastic Free Tea Bags.
The fear of having Plastic Tea Bags microplastics in one’s cuppa has increased dramatically in recent years. The answer, then, is to make the switch to plant-based materials - which is exactly what we’ve done.
Can Tea Bags go in the compost, though? Again, yes, when you buy from us. The combination of wood pulp and vegetable starch, which is technically classified as a “bioplastic,” is recyclable.
Perhaps best of all, this has no influence on the remarkable character and profile of Green Tea Bags. Buy and brew from The Kent and Sussex Tea and Coffee Company today.
