8 Functional Teas You Need For a Happy Life

What are Functional Teas and what makes them different from any other teas or herbal tisane? 

Functional Teas go beyond the pleasure and benefits of simply enjoying a nice cup of tea. They are specific Japanese cultivars of the Camellia sinensis plant combined with unique processing methods resulting in a finished tea with attributes which may affect your healthy happy life. 

Just as all wine comes from the grape, all tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant and likewise with wine, the Terroir, garden care and processing into the finished product differs widely around the world. The World Green Tea Association has done several studies on the Physiological Function of Japanese Green Tea components which are published on their sie and helps us understand just why Functional Teas from Japan are as captivating and mysterious as Japan herself.
