“The path to Heaven passes through a teapot.” – Ancient proverb

Tea is all things to all people. It’s magical like that. If you’re down, it’ll pick you up. If you’re frustrated, it will relax you. It can wake you up when you need it, and put you to sleep when you don’t. It’s perfect for when you’re alone, and equally perfect to share. There’s a reason that cultures the world over have always held a good tea sacred. Few things can so change a person, a mood or an experience. The best thoughts are had over a cup of tea; the best plans are made… because tea isn’t just tea, it’s time. It’s tea time. That may sound simple, but if you’ve really had tea time, you know it’s true.

Just sitting with a cup does wonders for the soul – and for your health. Taking even a little break helps to reduce stress hormones. But tea itself is special; it is filled with powerful antioxidants, such as polyphenols and flavonoids, which have profound effects on the entirety of the body. Some of these may include; reducing the risk of heart disease, lowering cholesterol, reducing blood pressure and blood sugar levels, reducing the risks of certain kinds of cancer and even supporting healthy gut bacteria.

So when you take time for a cup of tea, know that you are really taking time to take care of yourself. And taking care of yourself just feels good.

A unique and fun fact about matcha tea is that it was initially used by Japanese Zen Buddhist monks to maintain alertness and focus during long hours of meditation. The monks discovered that matcha tea, with its combination of caffeine and L-theanine, helped them achieve a state of "calm alertness" that allowed them to remain concentrated and clear-minded during their meditation sessions. This tradition has been passed down through the centuries and remains an integral part of Japanese tea ceremonies to this day.
