This tea has been referred to as "Okinawan Tea" in the media recently, but that can be misleading. The tea is produced in China, not Japan, although the Okinawans drink more of it then anyone else in the world. Many experts credit their overall heath and fitness to this fact, and that is why it has become so popular as a weight loss aide* here in the states. It features 1st grade green tea leaves that are lightly scented with jasmine blossoms to create a very aromatic and flavorful infusion. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
