What is Guardian Green Tea?

Unlike other green tea, Guardian Green Tea is unique:

Guardian Green Tea is processed at the lowest temperatures possible, in order to reduce oxidation and preserve nutrients. It is only picked in the early springtime when the young leaves have the maximum nutritional value. The tea plants are allowed to "rest" for the remainder of the season. That is why only a limited supply of capsules is available only once per year.

Picked only from the top of the mountain – 1,000 meters and above, the most insect-free environment possible!

The tea is grown in a rural area of China where there is no industry. Only organic fertilizers are used and no pesticides are applied.

Picked only from the very top leaves of each bush – young, tender, edible; the green color has just developed and the leaves are full of "young cells." Picked at just the right time.

Hand processed in small batches, ensuring minimal oxidation and maximum level of nutritional value. Brewing tea can destroy or leave behind many of the nutrients and certainly all of the fiber. That is why we are introducing edible green tea in capsule form. We use only vegetarian capsules and the tea grinding and capsule filling operations are carried out in certified facilities (FDA, NPA, NSF, CCOF). Each batch is tested for quality and safety by an independent laboratory with outstanding credentials in the food testing industry.

These convenient capsules can be taken directly or opened to give you a finely-ground powder that can be brewed into tea just by directly mixing with hot water, no filtering needed. Alternatively, the powder can simply be mixed with cold water to make iced green tea.
