Green Tea

Green Tea is a timeless beverage celebrated for its delicate taste, refreshing aroma, and powerful health benefits. Made from the unoxidized leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, Green Tea retains a high concentration of antioxidants and bioactive compounds that promote overall wellness. Unlike black or fermented teas, it undergoes minimal processing, preserving its natural green color, light flavor, and nutritional value. At Kumar Spices, we source only the finest quality green tea leaves, carefully processed to deliver purity, freshness, and maximum health benefits in every cup.

Description

A daily cup of Green Tea not only revitalizes your senses but also supports a healthier lifestyle. It's rich in polyphenols like catechins and EGCG, known for boosting metabolism, aiding weight management, and strengthening the immune system. The calming presence of L-theanine promotes mental clarity and reduces stress without causing drowsiness. Whether sipped hot or served chilled with lemon and honey, Kumar Spices’ Green Tea offers a natural way to detoxify, refresh, and energize your day—guilt-free and full of goodness.

History

Green Tea has a rich and fascinating history that dates back over 5,000 years. It originated in ancient China, where it was first consumed as a medicinal drink during the reign of Emperor Shen Nong. According to legend, the discovery of green tea happened accidentally when tea leaves blew into a pot of boiling water the emperor was preparing. Intrigued by the aroma and flavor, he began using it for its healing properties.

Over time, the practice of drinking green tea spread to Japan, Korea, and other parts of Asia, where it became deeply embedded in cultural and spiritual traditions, especially among Buddhist monks for its calming yet alerting effects during meditation. In Japan, it evolved into the ceremonial "Matcha" tea culture, symbolizing purity, respect, and tranquility. Green Tea eventually made its way to the West in the 17th century through trade routes, and today, it is globally recognized for both its health benefits and its cultural significance.
