Part I Among the many benefits of green tea we will get into this year, we wanted to start with how it affects one of the biggest growing challenges we face today: mental health. Some conditions are genetic, some are caused by external factors, and sometimes, we just need a little help with our memory or mood. Regardless, there are some basic actions we can take to help us with these challenges and even lessen them over time.

In our last post, we covered Regenerative Agriculture, what it is and why it matters. Today we get into how it is directly reflected in our teas. *Photo above: Wild deer amidst green tea trees & other native plants on Wild Orchard's island farm.

Wild Orchard Info

We all try to maintain or improve our health primarily through eating right, exercising, taking supplements and, for some of us, drinking green tea. Yet, we often overlook sleep as an important factor in our overall health. Sleep is not only important, it is the foundation of good health. To overlook sleep is like overlooking oxygen. It is so basic and yet it directly and hugely affects all of our major mechanisms including metabolism, heart health, the immune system, brain function and mental health. Why do we sleep at night? At some point you may have heard the term circadian rhythm. A circadian rhythm is our...
