Health Benefits Of Green & White Tea
Health Benefits Of Green & White Tea
- Scientists are confirming what the Chinese knew centuries ago: the naturally occurring compounds found in Green & White Tea help to promote good health and longevity.
- High in unoxidized and unaltered polyphenols, which has strong antioxidant properties. These help to control the activity of free radicals, unstable molecules that damage cell structures and are implicated in a host of illnesses such as cancer and cardiovascular disease
- Contains Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) more powerful than Vitamin E – shown to keep influenza viruses in check and inhibits growth of bacteria that causes bad breath.
- Rich in fluoride and Vitamin C, B2, D, K and amino acids.
- Green & White Teas are drunk alone or after meals to aid digestion, which can lead to weight and cholesterol loss and keep a healthy immune system.

A Teaspoon Of Loveliness
http://tastytreats.wordpress.com/2008/01/31/a-teaspoon-of-loveliness/
From Charmaine Mok - "A freelance journalist and full-time gourmand, eating her way mostly through London and Hong Kong".
'In about three weeks I’ll be back in London, and this time, instead of complaining about it (though I probably will, inevitably) I’m going to try and look on the bright side of things. Namely, by listing out new places to visit and cafes/restaurants to eat and drink at! The first thing on my list is this new hybrid of a shop called Teaspoon Leluu & Dewdhory - a creative venture merging two of my favourite things - tea and fashion.'
'From what I can gather, Leluu started as a small independent fashion label with its own boutique in Covent Garden’s Seven Dials. In fact, I even think I’ve been in there several times, always amazed by the whimsical, beautiful clothing and accessories but always too skint to buy any of their pieces. Sadly, they shut down late last year due to extortionate rent. Luckily, they’ve reinvented themselves by opening up a new shop in Paddington - and have combined their love for fashion design with their love for teas! I’m really liking what I see so far.'
'I’m looking forward to trying some of their teas (they have free taste testings), like Earl Grey Supreme and Oriental Beauty Oolong, as well as their first-pick Shizuoka Sencha. And of course, perusing the racks and perhaps finally investing in a Leluu original!'

Chinese New Years –
TEA TASTING
Teaspoon is a new tea merchant in Paddington, London. We are housing a wide variety of teas and herbal infusions from all over the world. To celebrate the Chinese New Year, we would like to invite you to our special tea tasting of Chinese teas
Silver Needle White Tea
We are especially proud to offer you our Jasmine Scented Silver Needle White Tea. Silver Needle is China’s finest white tea. Its perfect, downy buds are picked and sun dried in April, in the mountains of China’s Fujian Province. Scented with Jasmine this is the definite experience for your sense. Additionally, it has higher levels of antioxidants than any other tea, to boost your immune system and maintain a healthy metabolism and young, clear skin.
Jasmine Pearls Green Tea
Our 2007 Organinc Dragon Well Green Tea is produced in Jiande, in Zhejiang province in China. Drank especially in this time of year, the individually hand-pressed green tea unleashes a multi-layered, warm, creamy and soft plant note filled out by understated peach.
Dragon Well Green Tea
The Flowering Osmanthus Green Tea is not only great in taste, but also visually exciting. The sweet and soothing flowering green tea is hand tied around the orange osmathus flower and a ideal gift idea for the Chinese New Year
China is also renown for its Oolong Teas. Our Oriental Beauty Oolong tea is soft, glycerous and harmonious in taste and is the perfect aid for dieting, as it helps metabolise fats. We hear it’s the Queen’s favourite tea!
However, celebrities have touted Chinese Pu-erh Tea to be the weight loss miracle. Aged for 7 years to work its wonder and develop an earthy, sweet aroma, we offer this exclusive tea, which is still so unknown outside China.
We invite you warmly to visit us in Paddington and learn more about the many Green, White, Oolong and Pu-erh teas on offer. There is a 20% discount on all our Chinese teas during The Lunar New Year, so that you can also enjoy this ultimate tea experience at home.
