Green tea, the slightly different delight, which personifies secret and fascination of the eastern culture and lifestyle. Also for the western world it is the original form of tea, for it was green tea from China, which reached Europe in the beginning of the 17th century and which was enjoyed here until the 19th century. Later, the strong, fermented black teas out of the young tea plantations of the English colonies set new standards in terms of taste and drove the unfermented green tea out of the goodwill of the big "audience".
Today, the unfermented green tea experiences a revival and finds again the interest which the green tea and its long tradition deserves. You discover and appreciate the variety of its subtle aromas, its fine freshness and the soft colour palette of its cup, which changes from jade-green, greenish-orange and honey-yellow to a light pink. New scientific examinations verify its healthy effect and its considerable vitamin (A, B, C) and mineral nutrients (calcium, fluoride) content, which makes it very popular especially with alimentation and health aware consumers.
