Green tea

Origin and history


Green tea comes from the tea plant ( Camellia sinensis ), a shrub native to China, cultivated for over 4,000 years. Considered a sacred beverage in Asia, it was already used by Buddhist monks to promote concentration and meditation. Unlike black tea, green tea undergoes no fermentation : its leaves are simply dried and heated after harvesting, which preserves all its antioxidant and energizing properties . Today, it is one of the most consumed beverages in the world, a symbol of well-being and longevity.

Green tea is known for its numerous health and vitality benefits :


  • Major antioxidant : catechins (especially EGCG) protect cells against premature aging.

  • Natural fat burner : it promotes the breakdown of lipids and supports metabolism.

  • Gentle energizer : the caffeine it contains stimulates concentration and alertness without overstimulating the nervous system.

  • Detoxifying : it supports the elimination of toxins and liver function.

  • Cardiovascular protector : it helps regulate cholesterol and blood pressure.

Thanks to its balance between stimulation and calming , green tea is both invigorating and relaxing.
