In Japan, Zen priests drank green tea to keep them awake through long hours of meditation. In the 16th century, a man named Sen no Rikyù, influenced by the study of Zen, envisioned a path to enlightenment through the simple act of sharing a bowl of tea among friends in the spirit of peace and harmony—a practice he called wabi-cha. For Rikyu, making tea while mindfully engaging all the senses was to have a complete Zen experience. We are pleased to have you share a moment of quiet joy with us and experience the spirit of Japanese culture through a simple bowl of tea. Tea Sets We’ve paired traditional teas with Japanese sweets.

  • Health Benefits of Matcha Green
    Health Benefits of Matcha Matcha Green Tea has been consumed for centuries by Buddhist Monks, Samurai Warriors, and millions of the Japanese population. The reason they keep drinking it is because of all the amazing health benefits it provides simply by drinking it once a day. The green tea leaf is world-renowned for it's weight loss benefits, antioxidant content, energy boosting properties, and much more. However, the regular way of brewing green tea, which is merely soaking the leaves in hot water, and then discarding them, does not do justice to the benefits of this amazing plant. Matcha Green Tea is a fine powdered form of shade grown green tea leaves. This means you consume the entire leaf and your body can benefit from all of its nutritional properties. Premium grades of matcha contain only the finest green tea leaves in the world. They undergo the most careful and meticulous growing, harvesting, and preparation procedures that have been passed down by generation. Source: Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry, Lipophillic and Hydrophillic Antioxidant Capacities of Common Foods in the US. Antioxidant Powerhouse Antioxidants are naturally occurring chemicals in food that help your body fight diseases, prevent aging, and ensure your body is operating at it's peak potential. When it comes to natural antioxidant content, matcha is at the top of the list. The ORAC value (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) measures the amount of antioxidants per serving of a given food. Matcha Green tea contains an incredible 1384 units of antioxidants -- 14x the antioxidants of blueberries, and 6x the antioxidants of dark chocolate.

  • Matcha Green Tea: Scientific Name- Camellia Sinensis
    Matcha Green Tea: scientific name- Camellia sinensis Tea has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 5000 years. Writings from the Tang Dynasty indicate that by 650 AD tea was cultivated throughout China. It was introduced to Japan in about 600 AD by Buddhist priests returning from study in China. The legendary health benefits of tea have been evaluated by modern science. This information is so well known and so thoroughly documented that I will not go into great detail in this product brief. Evidence- based scientific studies are documented in the end notes. Polyphenols function as powerful antioxidants. One of the most powerful antioxidants found in green tea is Epigallocacatechin Gallate. EGCG may help against free radicals that contribute to can- cer(1), heart disease and clogged arteries (2). They are also helpful to burn fat (3) and counteract oxidative stress in the brain that can lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s (4). Weight Management: EGCG inhibits enzymes that break down the hormone norepinephrine. Increasing norepinephrine levels increase the signals that stimulate the body to breakdown fat – especially visceral fat that builds up around our organs in the abdominal area. In addition caffeine stimulates fat burning by increasing our metabolic rate. The overall effect is weight loss and energy gain. (8) (See also footnotes #3) Physical and Cognitive Stimulation: Tea contains caffeine which blocks adenosine receptors and inhibits the effects of adenosine. The caffeine binds to and occupies the adenosine receptor sites. However, caffeine doesn't slow down the cell's activity as adenosine would.
