Muriel and I sought to create a Green Tea for those who don't like ordinary Green Tea, so we started with the finest Sencha Green Tea and took a lesson from Muriel's childhood in France where they only served Green Tea with fresh mint. The result is a Green Tea for those of you who, like us, prefer the refreshing flavor of mint over the sometimes bitter taste of typical Green Tea. Of course, our tea also delivers high levels of protective Polyphenols and EGCG with only mild levels of caffeine - less than a very weak cup of coffee or black tea. Our Peppermint Sencha Green Tea presents a unique opportunity, offering the refreshing flavor of our Premium Full-Leaf Peppermint with all the benefits of the finest Green Tea. We use only the finest Premium Sencha Green Tea from Organic-Certified gardens in both Japan and China. We select only Sencha Green Tea because it is respected as the world's finest and mildest Green Tea, making it a perfect choice for our finicky American taste buds. Sencha Green Tea is distinguished from other teas by its absence of grinding and other harsh chemical or physical processing. This "normal" tea processing results in the chemical "damage" (oxidation) that causes the unpleasant bitterness of typical green or black teas. Our minimally processed Sencha Green Tea preserves all the elegant flavor and subtle aroma of its pristine Green tea leaves. For thousands of years, Peppermint(Mentha piperita) has been used traditionally, not just for its uniquely fresh flavor, but also for its calming and soothing properties, particularly for the digestive system. Our Premium Full-Leaf Peppermint is cultivated in America's Pacific Northwest - home to the world's finest Organic Peppermint and it is certified free of all pesticides and herbicides. It is unprocessed, so you can enjoy all the pure, natural freshness of our exceptional Organic Peppermint without a hint of bitterness or any unwanted contaminants.
