Cha Yuan Tea Introduction 茶緣茶介紹

There is a Chinese saying, “The seven daily necessities are firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea.” Tea is indispensable in the life of traditional Chinese families. It is considered both medicine and food to traditional Chinese doctors for its medicinal and nutritional properties.

The medicinal properties of tea have been documented since the time of Shen Nong (translated as Divine Farmer and venerated as the Father of Chinese Medicine). An excerpt from Shen Nong’s Herbal Classic reads: “Shen Nong tasted hundreds of herbs daily and encountered seventy-two toxins, all which were neutralized by tea.” With the passage of time, tea has become a staple drink, yet its medicinal value has never been overlooked. Modern science has also validated the health benefits of tea.

However, in today’s society, economic efficiency often takes precedence. Tea cultivation and processing involves the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and other additives, which may cause discomfort for tea drinkers. Cha Yuan believes that to restore people’s health, we must return to traditional, organic cultivation methods, reviving the purity and nutritional value of tea and restoring its timeless detoxifying power.

Cha Yuan Tea is not only pure and nutritionally complete but also embodies the unique aroma, flavour, and detoxifying effects of various teas. It enables people to enjoy life while embracing a traditional healthy lifestyle, guiding them back to the path of cultural heritage and wellness.

中国人说，「开门七件事：柴米油盐酱醋茶」。茶在中国传统家庭生活中，是不可或缺的一种日常必需品，中医认为，茶既是药，也是食，属于「药食同源」之物。茶的药效早在神农时代就已有记载。《神农本草经》中记载：「神农尝百草，日遇七十二毒，得荼而解之。」就是说，神农在尝百草时发现了茶的解毒功效。随着时代的发展，茶逐渐演变为一种日常饮品，但其药用价值从未被忽视。茶的健康功效，也被现代科学所证实。

然而，现代社会普遍追求经济效益，在茶叶的种植和加工过程中，多使用化肥、杀虫剂、除草剂以及其它化学添加剂。这些化学残留物，可能会引起饮茶人的不适。茶缘认为，要恢复人们的健康，就要回归传统的、有机的种植方式，恢复茶在历史上本应具有的纯净和营养，恢复其恒久不变的解毒功效。

茶缘茶不仅纯净、营养齐全，而且还充分体现了各类茶独特的香气、口感与各种解毒功效，让大家在享受美好生活的同时，也在回归传统的健康生活方式，引领人们在日常生活中不知不觉的走上回归传统文化之正道。
