The popularity of drinking tea among Buddhist monks helped to spread the custom of tea drinking to the common people. During the Tang Dynasty (618 – 907), Buddhism became popular, in particular, the Chan School of Buddhism, which has prevailed since then. Most Chan masters had a high regard for tea drinking, which contributed to the custom of tea drinking spreading throughout China.

Chinese green tea is packed with health benefits, thanks to its rich antioxidants and polyphenols. It helps fight free radicals, boosts metabolism for weight loss, and improves brain function through a blend of caffeine and L-theanine, enhancing focus while promoting relaxation. Green tea supports heart health by lowering cholesterol and improving blood flow, and it may regulate blood sugar, reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes. Additionally, its antioxidants promote healthy skin and strengthen the immune system. Some studies suggest it may even reduce the risk of certain cancers, while aiding digestion and mental well-being.
