But as well as the immediate results, tea has been proved to have long-lasting benefits. It was proclaimed that: Tea makes the body healthy and lusty.

What is Sencha?
As with many things in Japanese culture, the overwhelming care and attention that is put into their tea is second to none. This touch can be felt in everything from shade-growing on pristine mountainsides, the unique steam-processing and finishing with the elegant final brewing of the leaf. Japanese teas truly embody beauty, detail and practicality.
The deeply green and richly vegetal Sencha has long been the most popular style of tea in Japan. This pack contains not only a wonderful Shizuoka Prefecture Sencha but also some close cousins and variations on the form that we think you will enjoy exploring. So, as they say in Japan, Itadakimasu! Lets drink!

Tea in Britain
Britain is known as a nation of tea drinkers, despite the fact that the British were fairly late on the tea scene in historical terms. Tea was first brought to Britain in Dutch ships and soon proved so popular that the British government wanted to take the control away from the Netherlands. This was supposedly achieved by banning the import of tea on anything but British ships. To get around this, tea was first taken to Holland where it was transhipped into British ships.The history of tea is fascinating, look up references to High Tea, The Brown Betty, The American War of Independence, The Opium Wars. A fascinating subject.
