Did you know? White, Green, Oolong, and Black teas are really the same plant (as is Matcha) simply dried or fermented differently! And here are the “other” teas:
Mate` is a South American
herb with high levels of caffeine & antioxidants. Containing amino acids
and over ten different vitamins and minerals, it gives you a boost of energy
without the jitters.
Tulsi is an Indian herb that
is caffeine-free and offers many calming benefits for your body and mind.
Honeybush & Rooibos are
red bush varieties grown only in South Africa. They aren’t technically “tea” at
all. They contain no caffeine and offer a variety of health benefits.
Matcha is actually indeed made from
Camellia
sinensis, but is from
leaves
that are grown in the shade to bring out fuller flavor. The youngest leaves are
selected and their veins removed before being stone ground into a fine powder.
Matcha contains more caffeine and vitamins than other teas because the whole
leaf is used.
