This is a healthy Japanese Sencha green tea enhanced with refreshing ginger, lemongrass, and orange pieces.

We originally created this blend as a Breast Cancer Awareness Tea called Freear's Hope, named in memory of our friend and co-worker Freear Williams. 

Steep like a tea professional, and never use boiling water on green tea. 165-175F is the optimal temperature.

MEMORIAL SLOAN KETTERING CANCER CENTER SAYS…

Green tea contains substances called polyphenols, which scientists think contribute to its anticancer activity. Laboratory studies of one polyphenol, catechin epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), show that it may interfere with several processes involved in cell replication, causing tumor cell death. It also might slow the formation of blood vessels around tumors.

Epigallocatechin (ECG), another polyphenol, stops leukemic cells from multiplying in laboratory studies. As an antioxidant, green tea may repair cell damage, but whether it can prevent cancer is uncertain. It is also unknown how it might help protect the heart, but it reduces LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and increases HDL (“good”) cholesterol.

Tannins present in green tea generally have antibacterial properties.
