AN SHIM TEA

Due to the peculiarities of tea leaf processing, green tea retains the maximum amount of vitamins and microelements. Green tea is harvested and produced in spring from the youngest buds and leaves, which gives the tea a fresh aroma and sweet, refined taste. This tea is very pleasant to drink in the warm season, regulating body temperature. Green tea has the largest amount of tein, tea caffeine, so we recommend drinking this tea in the morning.
