Tea has long been valued in China for its miraculous medicinal properties
for the maintenance of good health. In China, it is said that: "it
is better to drink green tea than take medicine".
Green Tea
has been receiving much attention lately. As a result we now have
many medical reports by accredited institutions concluding that
drinking Green Tea actually does provide the human body with numerous
health enhancing components, such as Catechins Polyphenols, Polysaccharides,
Flavonoids, Vitamin B complex, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, R-Amino Butyric
Acid and Fluoride in it's natural state.
Only Green
Tea, dried without fermentation, contains the high value of Catechin
Polyphenols that have the antioxidant properties proven to protect
against cancer. The fermentation used in the processing of the
more familiar black tea and oolong tea oxidizes and reduces the
Catechins antioxidant content in these teas, leaving them less
desirable as a tea to consume for it's health benefits.
"Only
the freshly processed whole leaf of Green Tea is the best Green
Tea." -LINAN tea plantation.
Green Tea
is considered to be "the virgin of teas" because it
is the youngest, freshest and the least processed tea. It derives
its name because of the ancient ceremony in which the first harvest
of the season is actually done by virgin maidens of the plantation.
This traditional harvesting method is still carried out on the
Linan tea plantation, even today.
Once picked,
fresh Green Tea leaves cannot be stored for more than 24 hours
before processing, otherwise the quality will seriously decline.
On the Linan Tea Plantation, the harvested Green Tea leaves are
immediately processed without fermentation and oxidation by lightly
drying the leaves, and made ready for shipment.
Our Green
Tea, the precious Green Tea of Linan, is the crown jewel of Chinese
Green Tea. It is grown in the "Mountains of Angels"
some 1,200 meters above sea level where the mountains meet the
clouds. This is Tea grown as it should be, in a pure natural environment.
A traditional Chinese method is used to process the special first
harvest of Green Tea leaves to prevent any change of color, aroma
and texture of the leaves. Loose tea leaves can better offer you
the natural taste of Green Tea which American style tea bags cannot.

processed for shipment, offering you the freshest Green Tea leaves
for your better health and enjoyment.
