Fencha No. 1 uses GABA tea leaves combined with ginseng root and liquorice. GABA has been renowned for centuries for its naturally invigorating properties that don’t rely on sugar or caffeine – now supported by emerging scientific evidence. In fact, GABA is naturally present in our bodies.

Ginseng has long been used in Asia to invigorate energy. It is a natural product that is increasingly gaining recognition in the west. Tap here for a brief introduction from the New York Times to some of the health benefits of ginseng that are being studied.

We sell Fencha in our special Miron Glass containers. They block out light and allow Fencha to stay fresh for a long time. The glass will also serve you well if you want to store herbs or other light-sensitive produce after you’ve finished your Fencha.

Imagine no more afternoon sugar slumps – no more coffee. Let the gentle power of raw tea energise you for whatever the day has in store.

Our starting ingredients are the finest high-altitude teas and herbs. We work with tea artisans who hand-pick leaves from speciality gardens and semi-wild fields before calling on ancient methods of stone grinding to produce a fine tea powder. Once the tea is carried down the mountains the latest nutraceutical science allows us to draw out further benefits. We work at low temperatures and store the tea in dark Miron Glass so we don’t lose a single gram of the bioactive ingredients.

We love Fencha because it is inspired by ancient tea wisdom backed by modern scientific analysis. The power of tea has long been the focus of study for scientists. Here are some interesting independent studies we consulted while developing Fencha No. 1.
