Japanese Tea

日本茶

Japanese tea was introduced from China and became popular among the aristocracy during the Heian period. In the Kamakura period, the monk Eisai promoted its health benefits, and Zen monks helped spread the practice of the tea ceremony. From the Muromachi period onward, tea became familiar to the general public, and by the Edo period, many varieties were being cultivated.

Representative types include sencha, matcha, gyokuro, bancha, and hojicha.
Japanese tea contains catechins, vitamin C, and theanine, offering antioxidant and relaxing effects.
Incorporating it into daily life can help boost immunity, promote fat burning, and reduce stress.
Drinking it after meals or during work breaks can improve oral hygiene and enhance concentration.
Enjoyed regularly, it is a beverage that supports both physical health and mental balance.
