Green Tea

Focused Energy & Mental Clarity
• Caffeine + L-theanine combo: ∼25-35mg caffeine per cup, balanced by the amino acid L-theanine
• Result: Alert calm. “Wakeful rest” monks call it. Sharp focus without coffee jitters or crash
• Studies link it to improved attention, memory, and reaction time

Antioxidant & Cellular Health
• Rich in EGCG: Epigallocatechin gallate, a potent catechin studied for cellular protection
• Traditional use: “Longevity tea” in Japan + China. Daily cup as preventative wellness
• Metabolism support: Research suggests green tea compounds support healthy metabolic rate + fat oxidation
• Gentle detox: Supports liver function in folk + modern herbalism

Heart & Circulatory Support
• Polyphenols linked to healthy cholesterol levels + blood vessel function in multiple studies
• Hydrating ritual: Replaces soda/coffee without dehydrating. 99% water, 100% ritual
• Cooling energy in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Clears “summer heat” from body + mind
