A Buddhist monk called Eisai is widely credited with introducing tea farming to Japan, bringing seeds back from a visit to China in 1191. His book, Kissa Yojoki (which can be translated as 'How to Stay Healthy by Drinking Tea'), was the first book about tea in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTea, the monks believed, was beneficial to both health and meditation. Their uptake was followed by the tea ceremonies associated with Samurai and Japanese intellectual culture – created to appreciate the arts, philosophy, education and politics while enjoying the brain-sharpening benefits of this hot 'new' caffeinated beverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the 16th century, tea bushes were being shade-grown to boost \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chlorophyll\\\" rel='\\\"noopener'\u003echlorophyll\u003c\/a\u003e and mellow out the leaves' flavour. A method still used today in the production of matcha. But it was during Sakoku, Japan's period of self-imposed isolation from 1633 to 1853, that local tea growers really started experimenting with unique production techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1738, a tea farmer called Nagatani Soen made the first batch of recognisably modern sencha by quickly steaming the leaves to halt oxidation. He then immediately dried and rolled them, thereby locking in their garden freshness and rich green hue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch the same technique is still used in the production of sencha, representing about 80 per cent of the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theteamakers.co.uk\/collections\/japanese-tea\\\" rel='\\\"noopener'\u003eJapanese tea\u003c\/a\u003e industry. Our Japanese Sencha tea is steamed, gently machine-rolled and shaped during the teas production into the customary thin, cylindrical form of tea leaf, which has a very fine and fragile structure. Finally, the leaves go through hot-air drying to reduce the moisture content, aiding preservation and capturing the tea's distinctive flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe health benefits of sencha green tea\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike other \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theteamakers.co.uk\/collections\/green-tea\\\"\u003especiality green tea\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theteamakers.co.uk\/collections\/green-tea\\\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003es, sencha is made from young, unoxidised leaves through a low-intervention production process that helps preserve the mother plant's nutrients and antioxidants. Studies have shown that the health benefits of green tea may include weight loss, lowered blood pressure and cholesterol, better resistance to the ageing effects of free radicals – even improved dental health, thanks to its fluoride content. But the best reason to drink our Sencha – whether served comfortingly warm or refreshingly chilled – is its beautifully clean, green flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIf you loved this Japanese loose leaf tea…\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you like this tea, you'll love our luxurious \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theteamakers.co.uk\/products\/gyokuro-loose-leaf-tea\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGyokuro\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theteamakers.co.uk\/products\/matcha-sencha-loose-leaf-tea\\\" rel='\\\"noopener'\u003e \u003c\/a\u003egreen tea or our next-level \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theteamakers.co.uk\/products\/supreme-sencha-loose-leaf-tea\\\" rel='\\\"noopener'\u003eSupreme Sencha\u003c\/a\u003e, also from the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.japan.travel\/en\/destinations\/tokai\/mie\/ise-bay-area\/\\\" rel='\\\"noopener'\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eIse Bay area of Mie, Japan.

This Great Taste award winner is a beautifully refreshing Japanese green tea with a mellow sweetness balanced by a mild astringency that makes it a perfect morning or post-meal infusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvested in Ise Bay, Mie Prefecture, on the Pacific coast of Honshu, this outstanding No. 69 Sencha green tea is made in a time-honoured tradition: plucked early in the spring harvest, quickly steamed to halt oxidation, then immediately rolled and dried, locking in the verdant nature of its long, broken, needle-like leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderscoring Supreme Sencha's grassy freshness is the subtle green hue of the brew, complemented by an outstanding, complex flavour and thick, creamy mouthfeel. Enjoy this tea like the Japanese do: hot in the colder winter months and chilled during the summer heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere does Sencha tea come from?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSencha is the most popular tea in Japan, representing about 80 per cent of Japanese tea production. At The Tea Makers of London, we work very closely with Japanese farmers to ensure that only the most exceptional. High-quality tea leaves end up in your teacup. Like our exquisite Supreme Sencha, some of the finest examples are painstakingly cultivated by the tea farmers of Ise Bay, whose tea expertise has been passed from generation to generation for more than 800 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupreme Sencha is grown in full sunlight and is delicately hand-picked, then lightly steamed to prevent oxidation of the leaves. Following this, the leaves are rolled, shaped and dried. This step creates the customary thin and cylindrical sencha tea leaf, known for its fine and fragile structure. Finally, after drying, the leaves are heated in a wok to aid in their preservation and add flavour complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe health benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike other speciality green teas, sencha's low-intervention production process helps preserve the mother plant's nutrients and antioxidants. Studies have shown that the health benefits of green tea may include lowered blood pressure and cholesterol,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ebetter resistance to the ageing effects of free radicals – even improved dental health, thanks to its fluoride content.

Packed with cinnamon, green cardamom, dried ginger pieces and bay leaves, our chai is an authentic Indian tea. Made from the finest quality Assam leaves and chai spices, it's the perfect daytime pick-you-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrong and full-bodied, this authentic Indian chai blend offers a slightly malty flavour and an alluring aroma of fresh green cardamom, with delicate notes coming from the whole and ground spices. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, there's that comforting aroma of warm spice rising from the amber-coloured infusion. Then there are the exotic, traditionally grown Indian spices on the palate – these are what make this famous black tea so wonderfully rich and exotically flavoursome. Finally, there are those strong and full-bodied orthodox Assam leaves. All of which combine to create an exceptionally calming, sweet and spicy chai loose-leaf tea, best enjoyed with milk and ideally drunk while curled up on a sofa with a good book!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is masala chai?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst of all, it is not entirely correct to say 'chai tea'. Chai is the name for tea in many parts of the world, so by saying 'chai tea', you're really saying 'tea tea'. As for its background, masala chai hails from India – or possibly Thailand, depending on your perspective. Regardless, its origins are claimed to go back thousands of years, when it is reputed to have been drunk as an Ayurvedic beverage at South Asia's royal courts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally caffeine-free and made with a mix of spices and sweeteners for various ailments, the drink's evolution into masala chai really began with the British establishment of tea farms in India in the mid-19th century. By the 1900s, black tea leaves were being included in masala chai recipes as working-class Indians created their own version, sweetening it with milk for nutrition, adding a bolt of sugar for energy, and hawking it at street stalls across the nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFast forward to the 1960s, and Western travellers began discovering it for themselves. And while fast-drink outlets have since adulterated the traditional drink with their abundance of overly sweet and artificial chai lattes, authentic Indian spiced black tea such as our Masala Chai remains a premium brew with a beautiful balance of intoxicating spices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeed more convincing? Well, with those spices adding their own health-giving qualities to those of the antioxidant-rich Assam leaves, our Masala Chai comes with a raft of health benefits and is available as loose leaf or in for convenience our Triune tea bags. Add to that its feel-good factor and no need to use a spice grinder when making; everyone should have a caddy in their kitchen! Enjoy a cup of chai with your choice of your milk and sugar; cow, almond milk, soy milk or oat milk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are in the mood to experiment why not add fennel seeds and star anise during the brewing process to develop the flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExplore other spiced teas\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you enjoy your chai with milk and sugar, we recommend our \u003ca rel='\\\"noopener' href=\"https:\/\/www.theteamakers.co.uk\/products\/karak-chai-loose-leaf-tea?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=197ae6f25\u0026amp;_ss=r\\\"\u003eClassic Karak Chai\u003c\/a\u003e, an intensely strong black tea infused with traditional spices.

Naturally infused with the essential oils of jasmine flowers, our Great Taste award-winning Jasmine Silver Needle white tea has a light, smooth flavour with stunning floral-scented tea notes. Boasting a pale gold Champagne colour and a delicately sweet mouthfeel, it's a beautifully fragrant example of a luxury jasmine tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly the finest tea buds are picked for the production of this Chinese speciality brew. Harvested in spring in Fujian province, this tea is the least processed, the leaves are mixed with fresh jasmine and left to dry, allowing the fragrance and flavour of the beautiful flowers to infuse the long, silvery-green buds. This low-intervention process creates an outstanding loose-leaf tea with mild yet complex flavours and a delightfully heady aroma of fresh jasmine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow is white tea made?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best types of white teas are harvested in springtime in the lush fields of Fujian province, China. These pure, rare teas are produced from the same plant used in most black, green and oolong teas – Camellia sinensis – but in this case, only the finest spring buds are collected and used. Look at the dried leaves of your Jasmine Silver Needle, and you'll see a soft fuzz of little white hairs, reflected in the name of this tea and a result of it being harvested young before its leaves unfurl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether with the minimal processing techniques, those youthful buds give white teas their famous delicate character. Once picked, they are carefully withered and dried under natural sunlight for up to three days – unlike green tea withering, where the tea leaves are left to dry for only a few hours. During this time, enzymes in the leaves produce sugars and the amino acid theanine, responsible for white tea's fresh, sweet flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt The Tea Makers of London, we work closely with some of the very best tea farmers and tea producers in the world, regularly visiting local tea fields and production facilities to ensure the teas we provide are of the utmost quality. The leaves and flowers used to make our jasmine teas are all sourced from the revered Fuzhou region. Located high in the Fujian mountains, this is the original home of jasmine tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe health benefits of white tea?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the natural way they're produced, white teas have been of particular interest in studies of how tea can boost health – with some evidence pointing to white tea having the edge over other kinds of tea. A unique cocktail of active enzymes, antioxidants and polyphenols are thought to be preserved in the making of white teas, some of which may combat skin ageing, heart disease, cancer and even dental issues.

Boasting all the qualities of premium matcha, this high quality vivid organic green powder has spring-like notes of flowers and fresh grass, with an intensely vegetal, creamy, sweet flavour that won it two stars at the Great Taste Awards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeticulously made from certified organic tea leaves in Mie Prefecture, Japan, this luxury brew contains nothing but goodness. One of the features of matcha is that, unlike other teas, the entire leaf is consumed, stone-ground in powdered form. By offering an organic version of this nutrient-rich tea, you're guaranteed a drink that comes with no chemicals – only the health benefits of matcha. Thanks to matcha's high levels of healthy amino acids and polyphenols, these have been linked to everything from lowered blood pressure to a reduction in the free radicals thought to be a key factor in tumour growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile matcha contains moderate amounts of caffeine, studies have also shown that it's released more slowly in matcha due to its interaction with the amino acid L-theanine, creating a more calm sense of focus rather than the jolt you might get from, say, a strong cup of coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven the ritual of making this ancient Japanese tea has a calming effect. You'll want to do it right to, a) maximise the flavour of this deep green tea, but also to b) honour a tradition that has been carried out in Japan since the 12th century, when a Buddhist monk called Myoan Eisai discovered it on a visit to China.

This process, known as ‘shading’, slows down growth, pushes the bushes to produce high levels of chlorophyll and causes an escalation in the production of healthy amino acids. Our tea farmers, who have been growing matcha in the Ise Bay area for generations, then steam the leaves, halting oxidation and locking in matcha’s unique vegetal characteristics and vibrant. After this, the leaves are graded, destemmed and deveined before being left to dry and then stone-ground to a fine powder in granite stone mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can take up to one hour to grind just 30g of matcha, but it’s worthwhile. Mellow and deep in flavour with a silky texture, our Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha is one of the most sublime green teas you’ll find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to brew, whisk and serve matcha\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis premium organic matcha can be whisked the traditional way, in accordance with the Japanese tea ceremony, for a healthy tea added to smoothies and juices at breakfast or used as a natural flavour enhancer and colouring in your culinary creations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make a traditional matcha tea, it’s important to know that it can be prepared for different liquid consistencies. For thin tea, use approximately 1.75g of matcha powder with 75ml hot water. For thick tea, use 3.75g of matcha powder with 40ml of hot water. To prepare your matcha tea, place a small amount of sieved matcha powder into your matcha bowl using a bamboo spatula. Add 60 - 70°C hot water, then whisk the mixture using a bamboo whisk in an 'M' pattern, aka a chasen, until the liquid has a uniform consistency. Finally, when enough foam has formed on the surface, beat at a medium speed to produce finer bubbles. Serve and enjoy all that green goodness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAlternatives to our highest grade Japanese green tea powder\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also offer the unique taste of this Japanese speciality tea in our non-organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha.

Nibbled by tiny green leafhoppers, or tea jassids, its leaves begin to oxidise while the leaves are still on the plant, triggering the production of polyphenols and making for this superbly smooth and fruity luxury tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso known as Dongfang Meiren, or Bai Hao ('white tip'), Oriental Beauty is grown in the Hsinchu County area of northern Taiwan. As its Bai Hao name suggests, it's one of the very few 'tippy' oolongs – only shoots containing one bud and two top leaves are selected for plucking. Our single-origin Oriental Beauty has been traditionally harvested in summer at the perfect point of oxidation, with the tea offering a refreshing light amber infusion and complex honey flavours with hints of dark cherry and cacao.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne look at its delicate brown leaves, twisted and streaked with silver, tells you that this Taiwanese oolong is something special. Grown at an elevation of 300m in the rolling Hsinchu hills, the tea's oxidation has been meticulously controlled by the farmer, Mr Chang, which is what makes its flavour so striking. Indulgently aromatic, its sweet undertones make it easy drinking at any time of day – although with only small quantities released each year, you'll want to order a caddy quickly!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow is Oriental Beauty grown?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA large degree of Oriental Beauty's natural sweetness is down to those aforementioned foliage-eating leafhoppers. As the summer arrives, the tiny insects (scientific name Jacobiasca formosana) arrive in the Taiwanese tea gardens where Oriental Beauty is harvested. These are generally located in warmer, humid tea-growing areas and left pesticide-free to encourage the leafhoppers to proliferate. When the insects bite the leaves, the tea bushes defend themselves by releasing terpenes – plant compounds responsible for the famed honey-like qualities of the tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trick for the artisan farmers is to let the insects graze on the plants to exactly the right point: a little leaf damage equals ideal sweetness; too much and you end up with more bitterness, rather than less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the end, despite constant monitoring and supervision by the expert farmers, only 40-50% of the tea leaves will be usable. Hence Oriental Beauty's status as a highly sought-after and rare tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the health benefits of Oolong?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor centuries, the Chinese have touted the health benefits of oolong tea: as an aid to weight loss, cardiovascular function and improved cognition. And recent studies have shown that drinking a couple of cups of oolong per day may indeed help break down fat while you're sleeping due to the tea's metabolism-boosting capabilities, therefore reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes. Those capabilities are down to the tea's high levels of polyphenols, the antioxidant-packed plant-based compounds that are also linked to a decrease in cell division in certain cancers, improved bone mineral density and a reduction in certain skin conditions such as eczema.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to brew Oriental Beauty\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriental Beauty is a speciality tea that requires a slightly different approach to brewing than other oolongs. We recommend boiling the water up to 80-90C and steeping the leaves for three to four minutes. Our Oriental Beauty is suitable for two re-steepings, but we suggest keeping the wet leaves in a pot without water for the second serving, to avoid over-brewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best teapots to use for this tea are porcelain or glass – unlike other oolongs, the use of a clay pot such as a Yixing may detract from Oriental Beauty's finely balanced flavour and integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAlternatives to Oriental Beauty tea\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're looking for an everyday option in an oolong, you can't go past our \u003ca rel='\\\"noopener' href=\"https:\/\/www.theteamakers.co.uk\/products\/four-season-oolong-loose-leaf-tea\\\" noreferrer=\"\" target='\\\"_blank\\\"'\u003eFour Seasons\u003c\/a\u003e Taiwanese tea – earthy-sweet, with a mild, nutty character, it's an easy way to get your fix.
