Five Thousand Years and Billions of Cups Later

Tea has been a medical treasure for at least five thousand years. In 2737 B.C., a Chinese medical text exalted tea as a health tonic, and in 780 A.D. the Chinese tea master Lu Yu explained that tea cured aches, pains, and depression. In 1211, Eisai Myo-an, the founder of Zen Buddhism, praised tea as an elixir to promote good health and long life. By the end of the 20th century, scientists identified hundreds of beneficial phytonutrientas within the tea leaf that were shown to dramatically enhance immune and cardiovascular functioning and prolong healthy life. In the 1990's researchers discovered the precise extraction temperature for the maximum delivery of tea's protective benefits. New Chapter takes the world's finest organic white and green teas, extracts them at the perfect temperature, and delivers in concentrated form their full range of unique polyphenols for all to enjoy.

What to expect from your "Green & White Tea"

In 2001, the World Health Organization determined that men and women of Japan enjoyed the longest "Healthy Life Expectancy" in the world. Scientists have long associated this longevity with, in part, the Japanese people's regular consumption (often over 10 cups a day) of tea. Researchers at the Saitama Cancer Center Research Institute reported in 2000 that people who drank more than ten cups a day of tea experienced significantly better heart and immune system health than those who drank under three cups a day. Green and white teas are known to contain the highest concentration of health-promoting antioxidants. New Chapter has carefully selected the purest organically grown green and white tea leaves for the production of our tea extract. With Green & White Tea, you're well on your way!
