Benefits of tea

At the end of the 12th century, the Zen monk Eisai, who brought Zen Buddhism and tea to Japan, wrote a book on tea, 'Kissa Yojoki', in which he said 'Tea is the elixir of life and the magic key to longevity.' Originally tea was considered an important preventive and curative medicine. In the powdered form, Matcha, the tea is not just a brewed extract, but the whole leaf is consumed and so all components are absorbed and giving the full effect. Nowadays, many people like to drink tea, and there are in fact many who remain healthy and grow old drinking a lot of tea. The components of green tea and their health benefits are now studied scientifically. The reconfirming results of these studies are leading to increased interest and consumption.
