KENZAI™ Organic Green Tea
Kenzai Organic Green Tea is brewed to perfection from organic green tea leaves that are steamed before drying and by adding a little organic agave syrup (extracted from a Mexican cactus-like plant) for a touch of sweetness. Green tea contains powerful antioxidants which recent studies have shown to provide health-giving properties. For thousands of years, green tea has been the most popular drink in Asia and is identified as one of the reasons why men and women in Asia have significantly lower levels of cancer and heart disease. It is the perfect year round healthy refreshing drink.

KENZAI™ Organic White Tea
Just as natural as the green variant, the white tea is brewed from the youngest and unfermented leaf of the tea plant, making it purer than any other tea alternative. The KENZAI™ organic white tea is brewed with Pai Mu Tan (White Peony) tea leaves, which are cultivated in the Fujian province of China. Various studies have shown that white tea contains more antioxidants and provides more health benefits than other tea counterparts. The KENZAI™ Organic White tea is unsweetened and calorie free.

New! KENZAI™ Organic Jasmine Tea
KENZAI Organic Jasmine Tea is produced with the highest quality of green tea leaves that are scented with jasmine flowers. The jasmine flowers are harvested during the day and stored in a cool place until night. During the night, the flowers bloom with full fragrance. The flowers are layered over the tea leaves during the scenting process.

White, green and black teas:
White, green and black tea all came from the same tea plant: Camellia Sinensis. The difference is due to the different parts of the plant used and differences in the production process.

White tea can be divided into 2 families- Yin Zhen (silver tips) and Pai Mu Tan (white peony).

White tea is naturally withered and dried, has the least caffeine.
Green tea is naturally steamed or semi-fermented
Black Tea is oxidized.

Green Teas
Many green China teas are still traditionally made by hand using methods that have been handed down from generation to generation. However, more and more teas are now made in mechanised factories.

Green teas are totally unoxidised (compared to black teas which are fully oxidised) and so the first stage of the manufacturing process is to kill any enzymes that would otherwise cause oxidation to take place. To de-enzyme them, the freshly plucked leaves are either steamed (to make 'sencha-type teas) or tumbled quickly in a wok or panning machine (to make pan-fired teas) and are then rolled by hand or machine to give the leaf a particular appearance - some teas are twisted, some curved, some rolled into pellets, etc. To remove all but 2-3% of the remaining water, the tea is then dried in hot ovens or over charcoal stoves.

White Teas
White teas traditionally come from China's Fujian province and are made from leaf buds and leaves of the Da Bai (Big White) tea varietal by the simplest process of all teas. Very young new leaf buds and baby leaves are simply gathered and dried - often in the sun.

The manufacturing process includes no withering, no steaming, no rolling, no oxidising and no shaping. The best known white teas are Pai Mu Tan (White Peony) which is made using new leaf buds and a few very young leaves, and Yin Zhen (Silver Needles) which is made from just the new leaf buds.

What is agave syrup?
Agave syrup is a natural sweetener made from Mexico's Blue Agave, the same plant used in tequila. It is 10% glucose and 90% fructose.

Agave is naturally “tapped” similar to the maple tree. The core of the blue agave plant is pressed, filtered and collected then gently steamed or roasted for several days to break down the carbohydrates (primarily fructose). It has a very low Glycaemic Index (GI) value, so although it is noticeably sweeter than sugar, it doesn't cause the same type of “sugar” rush that other sweets do.
