White Tea: Enlightened White

 
100% Certified Organic Ingredients: White Tea buds and leaves, Tangerine, Orange, Lotus petals

Blender's Notes: A lightly colored infusion of delicate new growth tea leaves and subtle citrus notes. White tea grown here on our certified Biodynamic farm is used in this special blend. Naturally lightly-caffeinated.

Educational Information for "Enlightened White"

• WHITE TEA BUDS AND LEAVES - Diseases and medical conditions are mainly caused by pathogens, which attack the immune system making it difficult for the body to operate at a normal capacity. White tea has antibacterial properties which can protect our skin from bacteria and other germs.
• TANGERINE- provide a good variety of nutrients, including potassium, thiamin and folate. Tangerines contain more vitamin A than oranges, though oranges are lower in calories and higher in vitamin C and fiber
• ORANGE - The antioxidant vitamin C, when eaten in its natural form (as in an orange) or applied topically, can help to fight skin damage caused by the sun and pollution, reduce wrinkles and improve overall skin texture. Vitamin C plays a vital role in the formation of collagen, the support system of your skin
• LOTUS PETALS- relaxing, soothing, with sedative qualities can help with anxiety… and bringing about that peaceful-loving feeling.

100% Certified Organic Ingredients:  Green Tea, Puffed Rice

Blender’s Notes: This is a certified organic steamed Sencha tea base, with toasted and puffed rice.  This toasty-reminiscent of popcorn-y blend has really endeared itself to us

Educational Information for "Black Oolong"

• OOLONG TEA - Oolong tea can even be excellent for aiding specific health conditions when combined with treatment, such as helping to lower high blood pressure in a more natural way, or helping to lower the levels of cholesterol in your blood.

Matcha, is a product that we could grow here at Light of Day Organics (because Tea is one of the botanicals that we grow- we have hoop houses full of tea plants!) but we do not currently own the equipment necessary to de-vein or to grind the Tencha leaf into a fine powder within the low oxygen laboratory setting it requires. Therefore, we rely on other certified organic farmers around the globe to grow to our guidelines and process to our standards  this remarkable product for us. Because of concerns in the news  re. radiation (in Japan)  and heavy metal contamination (China), each batch of Matcha and the soils they are grown in are tested thoroughly to ensure that we are all enjoying the highest quality, safest matcha available to us today! We hope that you enjoy this product as much as we do!

We do offer our Matcha in CAPSULES too!  Two capsules once a day is equivalent to the 1/2 tsp suggested serving size.  These are great for those of use that may not always have the time to prepare the Matcha in a smoothie form.
