Green tea is said to be the healthiest drink on the planet. Tea leaves are formed into small, deep green pearls, round or irregularly shaped, resembling grains of gunpowder.

It is packed with antioxidants and nutrients that have powerful effects on the body.

These include improved brain function, fat loss, lower risk of cancer, and many other impressive benefits.

It has elegant but persistent aromas, with hints of smoke, freshly cut grass and mint. The taste is robust, full, with a honeyed feel, but also a metallic edge on the finish.

It goes well with dittany, thyme and mint.
