ON THE TABLE
To fully enjoy Qi teas, it’s best to set your intent and then the kettle – green tea is best steeped briefly before serving. Try Clarity Tea over ice or Digestive Ease for after dinner. A Sunday morning pot of lemony, herbaceous detox tea will immediately fulfil the promises of a clean lifestyle. Qi teas are made to support a mindset that takes care of body and planet.
FIELD NOTES
The phytochemicals present in green tea are known to stimulate the central nervous system.
Green tea phytochemicals are a potent source of exogenous antioxidant candidates that could diminish the impact of photoaging.
Several studies suggest that green tea supplementation increases collagen and elastin fibre content – conferring an anti-wrinkle effect.
Meanwhile, if made correctly, green tea has around one-quarter the caffeine content of a standard coffee.
SUPPLIER SNAPSHOT
Qi Tea is sourced from tea bushes (camellia sinensis) that grow in clusters on the cool, forested mountainsides around the village of Xitou, central Taiwan. At every stage, thought is given to the lifecyle of the natural ecosystem and the product itself. The wrapping outside your box of tea is compostable cello, the tea bag paper has a high percentage of plant fibre, and you will notice their tea bags are completely unbleached.
