Green Tea
“Better three days without food than 1 day without tea “(old chinese proverb).
Everyone knows green tea is good for you and more and more people want to incorporate it into their lifestyle. Yet, despite the rise in popularity, Japanese green tea remains relatively unknown in the West. This is a shame, given the wide range of delicious Japanese leaf teas available. We love matcha, but we also love a good cup of steeped Japanese tea and we’d love to introduce you to some of these wonderful tastes which have been developed over centuries of tradition.
