TEA FOR HEALTH By Dr. Tissa Amarakoon

In the heading above is a bar called: 'More Information B1 please click on this for more information.

Summary of the latest researches into the properties of Green & Black teas from around the world and in particular the work by Dr. Amarakoon of the Tea Research Institute (TRI) of Sri Lanka (Ceylon).
Interestingly it shows that both Green and Black teas have equal health giving properties and benefits.
This is important as up to now, Green tea has been trumpeted as the health giving tea. Black tea has now been put under the microscope as research has progressed on all teas. However please note that this research is only applicable to 'CAMELLIA SINENSIS' or true tea.
There are some provisos which react on and degenerate these properties. Firstly method of manufacture, time of year for manufacture and how the teas are packed or stored.
Dry weather seasonal teas have high levels of theaflavins and it is important to seal these in straight from manufacture before they can be degraded.

I recommend this booklet for the clear way in which it explains the subject.
This item is again repeated and shown in GIFTS under Miscellaneous items 'Interesting Books on Tea'.

UVA SEASONAL BEST LIGHT  F.B.O.P ------ Limited Edition Boxed Tea
I am afraid I must restrict orders to 3 boxes per person as the amount we were able to make was very small.

This manufacture run was made at a single estate in the UVA area and was seen by us to be a sample of extreme Quality that only comes in certain years. The estate agreed to clean and refine down this particular grade which came to a total of some 30 kgs in all. With the magical differential in the hygrometer readings at night it was possible to conserve the very heavy volatile oils that are expressed from the leaf cells after a very long period of dry weather at this high elevation and which are so essential to such quality teas as this. The Cachan wind came in as quite a brisk chill over the fields which helped with to give us an almost ideal hygrometer reading.

To taste a special tea like this and allow the superb flavour to linger I recommend that you brew and taste it without milk or any other addition such as a slice of lemon. Brew it ideally with a filtered water, especially in poor water quality areas. Do not mix previously boiled water with fresh water, take the water up to boiling point and then pour into the receptacle with leaf, after about 30 seconds stir several times and then allow the liquor to brew for 3 - 5 minutes. 5 minutes will give a full flavour.

I shall be releasing just a few special 50 g white wood boxes and 125g cartons to Mail Order on this site, the rest will be released to my trade clients.

The liquor produces a light liquoring champagne type tea with a high level of aromatic flavour which is superbly balanced. It should be sipped and savoured without milk.

TEA FOR HEALTH By Dr. Tissa Amarakoon

Summary of the latest researches into the properties of Green & Black teas from around the world and in particular the work by Dr. Amarakoon of the Tea Research Institute (TRI) of Sri Lanka (Ceylon).
Interestingly it shows that both Green and Black teas have equal health giving properties and benefits.
This is important as up to now, Green tea has been trumpeted as the health giving tea. Black tea has now been put under the microscope as research has progressed on all teas. However please note that this research is only applicable to 'CAMELLIA SINENSIS' or true tea.
There are some provisios which react on and degenerate these properties. Firstly method of manufacture, time of year for manufacture and how theteas are packed or stored.
Dry weather seasonal teas have high levels of theaflavins and it is important to seal these in straight from manufacture before they can be degraded.

I recommend this booklet for the clear way in which it explains the subject.
