€2,70 EUR

Chinese green tea, derived from the Camellia sinensis L. plant, has a fascinating and ancient history. According to legend, tea was first cultivated in China during the reign of Emperor Shen Nung, around 2737 BC .

The tea plant then arrived in Japan in the 8th century AD, where it was initially considered exclusively as a medicinal herb, and then became a very widespread and appreciated drink.

Over the centuries, tea cultivation has spread throughout the world. One of the first tea camellias to come to Europe was Linnaeus's, who got it from Captain Eckbert in 1763 and cultivated it in the Botanical Garden in Uppsala. At the end of the 19th century, the director of the Botanical Garden of Pavia, Giovanni Briosi, experimented with the cultivation of tea, but only in the 1920s did Gino Pollacci manage to acclimatize the plant to the cold of northern Italy without the need for any covering during the winter, thus giving rise to a new variety: Camellia sinensis ticinensis.

Today, Chinese green tea is appreciated all over the world for its unique taste and beneficial properties. It is a symbol of culture, history and tradition, which continues to delight palates and promote health.
