As someone who enjoys drinking tea, you're already familiar with the feeling
that spreads through your body when you lean back with a cup of steaming-hot
tea and take your first sip. You unwind, your shoulders relax and your
breathing becomes slow and rhythmical. Tchaé - green tea from Lipton
- has been developed to bring about these priceless moments.
Tchaé - in your own good time
The secret behind quality of life includes finding a way of dealing with
stress - here you can gain inspiration from the sense of balance and harmony
to be found in the Orient. As far back as the 12th century, Buddhist monks
used to meet to drink green tea in ceremonies that lasted up to four hours,
centred around the enjoyment of tea and inner and outer harmony. Our part
of the world is characterised by a different, more hectic lifestyle, one
which makes it impossible - no matter how much we would like - to spend
hours simply drinking tea. But you can always make do with less - so put
down whatever you are doing, make yourself a cup of Tchaé and wait
for that inner peace.
Tchaé - three variants
Tchaé is green tea that comes in three handy bags - Jasmine, Mint
and Orient. All with a remarkably refreshing flavour that has a stimulating
yet relaxing effect - morning, midday or evening.
Green tea - black tea
Only very few people realise that green and black tea, despite their highly
different flavours, come from the same plant, the tea shrub Camellia Sinensis.
The difference between the two types of tea simply comes from the way
the tea leaves are treated after being plucked. Black tea is plucked,
fermented and finely cut, whereas green tea is plucked, finely cut, and
dried. The difference in flavour is, then, simply a result of the fermenting
process. Green, unfermented tea is drunk in Japan and China before, during
and after meals. Remember that boiling water should be allowed to stand
for a moment before being poured over green tea leaves. This does not
apply to black tea.
Tea and Health
Green and black tea - like vegetables, fruits and berries - are rich
in antioxidants called flavonoids. It has been found that tea flavonoids
are effectively absorbed by the body. Results from studies concerning
the health promoting effects of flavonoids have been promising and active
research in this area continues.
