Tea leaves reflect the soil they are grown in, the season they are picked, and the curing process used. This tea is skillfully grown and cured adhering to strict organic principles. The sustainable agriculture enriches the soil and produces more vibrant leaves. The traditional processing preserves and enhances the tea’s flavor and nutrients. All true teas stem from the plant Camellia sinensis. They become green, black, or oolong tea in the way they are cured. As soon as tea leaves are picked they begin to oxidize. Oolong and black teas allow this to proceed as they dry, whereas in Japanese Green Tea this oxidation is skillfully halted.
Refresh Body, Mind, and Spirit -EDEN® Organically Grown Traditional Teas contain no added flavorings or dyes, and are cured without the use of any additives whatsoever. Steeped in hot water tea leaves first release the acidic, astringent phytochemicals. Over the next few minutes the alkaline components are released. The amino acid L-theanine in green tea has the paradoxical effect of causing relaxation and alertness simultaneously.

Organic Sencha- Green Tea is the most popular drink in the world. The best tea grades are the earliest, young, tender Spring leaves near the top of the bush. These fresh picked leaves are immediately and gently steamed, rubbed while they are still warm, then rubbed again after they cool, and dried. Rubbing the leaves preserves the bright green color of the leaves and locks in their unique flavor and delightful aroma for later release in your tea pot or cup. These meticulous curing techniques have been known for centuries to be essential in providing the experience sought by tea lovers the world over. |

Organic Hojicha- When new leaves have grown back after the first spring harvest they are picked for Hojicha. The leaves are steamed, rubbed and partially dried, just as they are for Green Tea. Before they are completely dried, they are placed in iron cauldrons to be slowly and repeatedly heated and cooled until an experienced master senses that they are perfectly roasted. This manner of preparation allows subtle interaction between the iron of the wood fired cauldrons and the tea leaves. Combined with the careful rubbing, the roasting enhances the availability of the beneficial elements in our organically grown leaves and creates a most appealing tea. Hojicha tends, in fullness of flavor, toward English teas, but delivers unique character and less caffeine for your drinking pleasure. |
