Merkaba Teas, Green Tea, White Tea, Yellow Tea, Chai

According to an ancient Chinese proverb, it's "better to be deprived of food for three days, than tea for one"–and current
health research backs up that claim. Green tea and green tea extracts are rich in epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)–a powerful
antioxidant that not only inhibits the growth of cancer cells but also kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. Green tea
may also increase mental alertness, aid in weight loss, reduce LDL cholesterol, and protect the skin from sun damage.
With all of these potential health benefits, why not give it a try?

Refreshing China green
tea. Lovely flat leaves
made in the Japanese
Sencha style. Crisp,
grassy notes with all the
benefits of Green!

A unique tea with marvelous
mellowness but all the subtle
character of a full-bodied black
Ceylon. Rare at any time of the
year & highly recommended.
Beautiful long, green, full leaves
unfurl with a distinct aroma &
pleasure for all the senses.

This extraordinary green tea
comes from the West Lake region
in Zhejiang province of China. It
is considered the standard bearer
for Chinese green tea

Bright, delicate Bancha mixed
with toasted and popped rice.
Light green with delicate
barley/pop corn taste. A visual
treat like snow in the
springtime.

Before the leaves are completely
dried though, they are placed in
gas fired iron rotating ovens to
be slowly roasted and then
cooled. Roasting neutralizes the
already weak astringent and
stimulating qualities. Hojicha
contains 67 percent less caffeine
than brewed coffee.

The superb fresh bouquet, delicate flavor and
unique leaf shape make this an extra special
tea. We recommend placing 12 to 20 of the
pearls in a clear glass cup to watch their
unfurling. It consists of two leaves and bud.

Intriguing, vibrant Japanese
green tea produced from green
tea paste based on Matcha, the
tea powder used for the
Japanese tea ceremony.
Matcha in turn is actually
powdered Sencha.

Certainly no ordinary twig tea, a
visually stunning, finely blended style
of desirable upper stems. Inexpensive
and an enthusiast's tea, it is
nevertheless rarely seen outside
Japan. Light & delicate, sure to be an
instant favorite.

Gunpowder tea is produced like
green tea but after the steaming
process the tea is tightly rolled into
what appears to be pellets. When
hot water is poured over the leaves,
they quickly expand and in some
cases almost fill the cup. The
tightness of the rolled pellets yield
excellent flavor as well.

Fresh, sweet, vegetal notes,
refreshing and cooling. A true
gem from the country of
ceremony and perfection. Bright
green color redolent with energy
and a pleasing comforting
fragrance that reassures you like
a wide open meadow.

Another beautiful offering
from the famed Makaibari
Estate; this green is, without
doubt, Darjeeling finery. Enjoy
the light, crisp, grassy notes &
clarity of this cup

The best Gunpowder Green Tea is
Temple of Heaven Brand. It's not
only famous in China but also all
over the world. Made in the pearl
or gunpowder tradition, hand
rolled into tiny pellets that unfurl
into long banners of satisfaction. A
mild, fresh tea with a clean
palate.

This rare tea from the Fujian
Province, is made with only
buds. Said to be picked on
two days of the year only.
Sweet, light fragrance with
subtle flavor & nuances.

This white tea with an
appearance of a full tea leaf is
made from the buds and leaves
that remain after the spring
harvest of the Silver Needle.
Smooth and flowery with a hint
of earthiness it has a bolder
aroma and produces a darker
cup color than the Silver Needle.

Yellow tea has almost as long a tradition as
oolong tea. Its place is between green teas
and oolong teas. Because of its reviving
effect and many beneficial properties,
yellow tea remained for a long the privilege
of Buddhist monks. Its range of varieties is
very limited, and the available quantities
small. It is famous for its aroma with its hints
of chocolate and coffee.
