| Q. |
I know that green tea leaves are meant to be used to make tea, but is there a way that I can cook or eat the used green tea leaves? |
| A. |
YES! Green tea contains cellulose protein (fibrin), Vitamin E, and Catechins. There are many uses for nutrient rich “used” tea leaves. For example, the used tea leaves will taste good in salad dressing or dips for vegetables. |

| A. |
YES! Genmai tea does not contain a lot of caffeine in its leaves, and can be drunk before going to bed. Genmai tea also contains Vitamin B, which helps relieve stress and Vitamin E, which can improve the circulation of the blood. |

| Q. |
How can I remove the stains that are left by the tea leaves in my teacup or pot? |
| A. |
When the antioxidants in the used tea leaves oxidize, it leaves behind stains in your cup or your pot. Salt and vinegar are two items that help remove the stains. You can scour off the stains by using salt or vinegar. Soaking the cups and pots in a mixture of salt and vinegar is also an effective method of removing the stains left by the tealeaves. |

| History of Green Tea |
Green tea has a long and respected history that goes back much further than either coffee or black tea. Although green tea has been an everyday tradition for more than 2,000 years in some cultures, many people are trying it for the first time because of its healthful benefits. While people want these benefits, they also desire a pleasing taste. People are delighted when they discover Green tea terrace's modern twist on fresh-tasting, high-quality green teas and delicious green tea drinks.
People have been enjoying the healthful benefits of green tea for more than 2,000 years. The Buddhist monks who brought green tea to Japan from China studied its medicinal properties during the early ninth century. In 1211, during the Kamakura era (1192-1333), the monk Eisai noted his observations in his book, Maintaining Health by Drinking Tea, how green tea promotes good health. In recent years, scientific research has lent support to these long-observed benefits. Green Tea terrace introduces a new generation of green tea drinkers to these healthy benefits and the great taste. |

| How to brew tea |
#1. Warm up the cups with warm water. When the weather is cold, use hot water.
#2. Measure the amount of the leaves. To serve five persons, use 10-12 g.
#3. First, pour out the hot water used for warming up the pot. Then pour hot water into the pot. The water should be boiled separately beforehand.
#4. Empty the water used for warming from the cups. Pour out the hot water from the cups used for warming them. (Or use the same hot water for tea by transferring it from the cups to the pot.)
#5. Pour tea into each cup. Steep for desired time. Then pour the tea a little at a time into each cup in turn until all the water in the pot is used up. There should be no water left in the pot. This ensures that the quality of the tea is equal in all the cups with no person's tea being too weak or too strong.
#6. Serve the cups on saucers. This picture shows the suggested amount of tea to be served in each cup. |
