  • Taste: soft, clean, with herbaceous notes and delicate nuances.
  • Leaf appearance: Whole leaves of regular size, bright green in colour.

Thanks to organic cultivation and delicate processing, this tea preserves a very high concentration of polyphenols and EGCG, essential for counteracting cellular ageing.

The richness of L-theanine promotes a state of “relaxed alertness”, improving concentration without the agitation typical of coffee. It is an alkalising tea, perfect for those seeking a detox drink that does not irritate the stomach.
