Each society has its rules, and each civilization has its culture. When it comes to different ages, a certain thing is that the import and the export of tea remained a valuable aspect in the lives of many people. Originating from China and grown also in parts of Asia (like Vietnam, Japan and so on), the production of tea became a much known brand in all the countries across the world. The tea culture roots in China from where in different parts of the globe tea is being used at social meetings, various events and formal ceremonies.

Of course that the green tea culture is very different according to customs and traditions that people developed throughout the years. In Japan, the use of green tea is considered to be a well-known kind of beverage that is served among different kinds of people and in different kinds of situations. For example, its traditional role starts in the Japanese society from a drink offered to guests and at special occasions. In the modern society at many firms, during the afternoon breaks, a cup of green tea is offered along with a snack.

Green tea has become a brand in the Japanese culture and in many Japanese houses where the visitors can enjoy a nice cup of tea. The so-called teacups and the thermos in which the tea is put are all elements that don’t miss from the afternoon entertainment of Japanese families.

The powerful association with this traditional tea drink made it be consumed with a lot of desire in many Japanese restaurants, where the full menu includes (with no extra charge) a free refill of green tea.

In other parts, the tea culture appears very differently but it’s still focused on providing the necessary qualities that already make the green tea be so tasteful and appreciated. In the USA, the green tea among other varieties of tea is served as a usual alternative to coffee, in menus. Tea is also very appreciated by the younger generation, being a very popular presence at tea parties. It is consumed while hot or in canned bottles as a soda beverage, but the most preferred way to be served – for the majority of Americans – is iced.

As a cultural trend, it goes well at summer barbeques, picnics or grilled foods. The iced tea is prepared by adding copious amounts of sugar along with the ice and some other flavors like lemon, raspberries or even mint. The taste is very delicious, and the results are excellent.

The good review of green tea is that the benefits of consuming it can be seen and pointed out by your own body. The same saying as to live or eat healthy can be applied if you want to drink healthily. The impact that green tea has upon the body is that of a fountain of youth. Mainly the products that are based on herbal treatment assure a better functionality of your vital organs, this being also the case of green tea.

It reduces the risk of cancer; it drives you from a state of desperation into one of calm and relaxation; wounds are healed, and the rate of your heart and your vessels is set to normal values. The green tea is one of the most common products that can be found at every moment of the day, according to culture when serving a meal.

But the extract of green tea is also used in many cultures in the preparation of various foods or cosmetics where the ratio of products is demanding. The main health benefit is that it’s a help for your skin in the ageing process and with the wrinkles.

To overcome the sickness that many times can be installed in your body, drink a cup of green tea, and the instant results are guaranteed to function well, providing a constant nurturing for your immune system.

The culture of green tea even though so various, has well known traditions and customs that even if different, become part of each civilization. The mass production of green tea has expanded and with every year that passed it became much popular growing to be as priceless as ever.
