About Green Tea

Green tea was quite popular, especially amongst the Buddhist monks and individuals of higher social classes. In both Japanese and Chinese cultures, there were special green tea ceremonies where communities convened together and enjoyed the exotic drink. The Chinese believed the plant was a gift from the gods. Also, they believed that the gods of agriculture came across the plant as they sought a remedy for some poisonous leaves and roots that they had ingested. Another narrative linked the popularity of green tea extract to Emperor Shennong. Some of the natives believed that he discovered the benefits of green tea after a couple of leaves fell in his cup of hot water. This happened as he was taking an evening stroll in his palace. He liked the feeling he got from the now coloured drink. He then directed his servants to always add dried and ground green tea leaves to his drink henceforth. The extract from the green tea leaves was applied on skin after the tea leaves dried up and were ground to form powder. The locals also chewed the green tea leaves for fun due to the caffeine contained in the leaves. To date, most of these people still use green tea extract for various purposes but most commonly to help with losing weight.
