Health Benefits


While most of the recent researches have been focused on green tea, tea was used as a medical beverage in China more than 5000 years ago.  It was first discovered by Shen Nong, the first Chinese doctor in history.  In a medicine book "Shen Nong Ben Chao" stated that "Shen Nong tasted hundreds of herbs, he encountered 72 poisons daily, he used tea as antidote."
