Sorry to respond to you so late, Betty.
A 3 year old could have a little bit green tea - a few spoon of the freshly brewed green tea, and take it as a medicine and only have it after meal in the morning. Because there is caffeine in green tea, so the amount should be very small. Watch out to see whether the tea makes her (him) too excited.
In ancient China, doctors used green tea to cure children’s stomach problem (to help them to digest) and sometimes used it to prevent children from bad dreams.
Actually, I am trying to persuade my 6 year old daughter to drink a little bit green tea, for she has a bad teeth and has allergy. Green tea might help protect her teeth and boost her immunity (allergy is caused by malfunctioned immune system), but my wife is strongly agains it because she worries that caffeine may not be good for my smart girl’s brain! I am sure that small amount of green tea would be fine.
Thanks for your question. Hope my answer helps.

There is a question from the Black community; “Does green tea affect Blacks adversely?” “What is the benefit of white tea, if any?” Which is better? Green tea or White tea?”

You are welcome, Phyllis. It is a pleasure to share with our customers. Hope you enjoy Tai CHi Green Tea.
Yesterday, I have a sunburn. It was quite painful. I saoked the tea bag (Tai Chi Green Tea’s Spring Sprouts) with cold water, then applied the tea water on the skin. Repeated a few times and the pain is gone.

How are you? I got some tea from the Coop Yesterday. Thank you for your email. I’m alone and the last of my family now. I am out of work, depressed and starting Rehab. I plan to start looking for a job very soon because I love where I live, even though it is so empty without my mother. So when you encouraged me regarding my health. WOW, I am so thankful for that.
Losing my job is a blessing. I think that God has given me the opportunity to find work in what I love. However, being a “Jack of All” and Master of None” makes finding, “ME” in the workforce hard. I spend so much time concentrating on the job search and medical care (before my insurance runs out); that I forget basic preventative health care. I will pay more attention to the nutritional and spiritual needs of my body with exercise. God sends his messages to me through you, Tea Man. Again thank you.

Thanks for having Tai Chi Green Tea! Al.
Sorry to know that what happened to you. Be confident and I am sure everything will be fine soon.
Health is # 1 thing. And pay special attention to the basic four basic factors:
1. Mood. — always be happy, positive. Let Positive Energy masters your mind and body.
2. Enough rest. - Try to have enough sleep and relaxing time.
3.Physical exercise. - To generate more energy by doing physical exercise.

4. Right food and drink.
Food and drink decides your energy. Choose the right food and drink. In terms of drink, green tea may be the best choice.
God bless you.

A, the following is response to your questions
“There is a question from the Black community; “Does green tea affect Blacks adversely?” “What is the benefit of white tea, if any?” Which is better? Green tea or White tea?”
First, Green Tea Vs White Tea.
Strictly speaking, there is no “white tea”. The so-called “white tea” is a kind of green tea. We seperate tea by the way it is processed. Generally speaking, there are 3 kinds: Green Tea, Black Tea, and Oolong Tea. Green tea is least processed. We just use a pot to fry it or in some places, steam it first, then dry it. Black tea is “fermented” –after the tea is picked, it is applied to water and high temperature, and let it undergo a process of “oxidizing”. Black tea can be kept for quite long. Oolong tea is half fermented.
Now more and more people in the US seem to know “white tea” is better than green tea. This is like saying “copy paper” is better than paper.
There is a kind of tea tree in China grown in a few places, its leaves is white. Of course, this tea when it is processed as green tea, it is called “white tea”.
Also, when some tea picked in autumn, the baby leaves with the bud, after it is processed, it appeared to be white. In Chinese, we call it “silver dawn or Silver nidle (Yin Hao or Yin Zheng)”. I have the kind of tea (Autumn Flower), it appears to be white (please see the picture on my web). It may be called “white tea”.
But the name of “white tea” is abused in the US.
If the leaves with the little bud is called white tea, then all Tai Chi Green Tea products can be called “white tea”; because all the leaves of our tea are the baby leaves with little buds. If name the tea by its color, then the Autumn Flower of Tai Chi Green Tea can be called white tea. But actually, the price of our “white tea” is lower.
The quality of the tea should not be judged by their name. Fancy names are abused to cheat people. You must know where the tea is grown, which season it is picked and which part of the tea leaves they are picked come from.
Since “white tea” is a kind of green tea, it has the same benefits as green tea as far as it is fresh and good quality.
Now, “Does green tea affect Blacks adversely?”
Most “green tea” Americans are consuming is spoiled or in low-quality. The worst “green Tea” is the bottled green tea or the extracted liquid green tea. White or black, if people consume too much of this kind of fake, spoiled green tea, their health will be affected adversely.
If people have a lower income and want to enjoy the green tea health benefits, they are often hooked by some very bad green tea providers — they use fake green tea and some of them even add sugar into the “green tea” to make it more appealing. Actually the drink they are selling, though labeled “Green Tea”, has nothing to do with green tea. If people consume too much this kind of “green Tea”, definately, they will be affected adversely– no matter you are are yellow, white or black. Most American green tea drinkers, I believe, rarely get any health benefits from the “green tea” they consumed, most people are just using the fake green tea to ruin their health. — They drink more of it, they are doing more damage to their health.
The true green tea, the fresh, good green tea will affect anyone positively. Actually, I run into many of African American customers of mine, they have a very positive feeling after they drank Tai Chi Green Tea. But good green tea is a little more pricing and only those willing to pay the price for it can enjoy the health benefits of it.

Nihao~
Ni hao ma?
I discovered your Tai Chi Green Tea at the Health Hut here in Milwaukee, WI.
I was curious because your green tea was stored in the refrigerator. After I discovered that your green tea was premium selected top sprouts and that I needed to use water between 50-120 deg. I knew that your product had to be tried! I currently drink green tea every day for the last year or so. It did not start as a result of health issues- It started by living in Peking for 2 months.
The local Chinese started me drinking ju huoi cha- Chrysanthemum tea with every meal. It was fantastic, however many locals make the mistake of putting rock sugar into it. After sitting around the Chinese table a few more times I was blessed with the opportunity to share a meal and a conversation with a Daoist who practices TCM. He immediately told me to leave the sugar out of the tea! I began hunting all of the Chinese tea markets in Beijing to find the best tea I can find. I bought amazing assortments of Tea, but none of them, aside from extremely expensive hand rolled Jasmine, had any true character. The closest I found to the real thing until your product was pure green tea leaves I bought from locals who did not sell tea, but had it in a brown paper bag for themselves. Once I started drinking the tea regularly I noticed that all of the most amazing and beautiful Chinese people who had vibrant, glowing, conscious and humble spirits beyond the likes I have ever discovered NEVER consumed sugar, soda, or alcohol and ALWAYS- ALL DAY LONG- drank green tea! I entertained myself for months in the Sanlitun entertainment district - an amazing place with an international appeal for fashion, art, dancing and drinking- an attractive place for westerners who I found after a while were the only people you could notice in the street being LOUD and many times DRUNK! After many visits I began to befriend a few bartenders. Guess what - they NEVER drank alcohol and always had their prized tea with them in their fashionable brewed tea thermos! Then I noticed cabbys doing it, market sellers, guards, and many others. Everyone who had their tea with them and these good habits were noticeably attractive, perfect body weight, bright eyed, relaxed, calm and peaceful without prompting, regardless of their social or economic status. Could this be due to good habits passed down from people who themselves have developed good habits? Since my time in China I no longer drink soda at all ( 1 year now) I lost 30 lbs, and I never have urges anymore to binge eat. I also never have an urge to eat fast foods or greasy salty fatty foods or foods that are high in carbohydrates. My breath is always fresh and my sleep is regular and peaceful, despite all of the performance stresses and deadlines I have in my work life. Tea Man, Xia`xia! ( thank you) Hung hao hung hao!
Please feel free to email me if you want to - I am curious about what temperature and time you find to be ideal for green tea sprout brew. I currently love it luke warm and brewed for about 3-4 minutes. The leaves taste soo good! The first time I tried it I brewed it for 3-5 minutes at 165 deg. and it was a bit bitter- then I read the packaging and discovered your tea’s true secret.

Brian,
So nice to know that you had been living in Beijing and noticed that people who drink green tea are different from other people.
First, the temperature for making green tea.
If you purchased Tea Bag, then the cold the water, the better. Use 2-4 oz cold water to begin with, drink after 5 minutes, when finish half of the tea (2 oz), refill cold water. Keep refilling till there is no any taste.
You may also rip the tea bag and spinkle the tea on food to eat it raw.
IF you have loose tea, you may use cold to warm water (6 oz). Cold water will make it taste really good — but you must have the patience of a Taoist master — it take 8-15 minutes to get it out. Use lukewarm to warm water is also good. Drink and eat the leaves. Remember, the cooler the water, the better. Consume the tea quickier, the better.
Also, you can sprinkle the tea on food to eat it raw. It goes really good with juicy fish! Or you just eat a few pieces to refresh yourself.
Drinking green tea is not only drinkin green tea, but a way of life! I hope everyone in the US can have the habit of drinking real green tea! If everyone drinks truely good green tea, the world will be far better! Less people will have cancer, heart disease, diabetes, overweight and etc! People will be happier and the burden of medical care of the society will be far less!
Unfortunately, only a few people are drinking the real green tea — most green tea available in the US are such a low quality that I doubt that it can really help people; the worst thing is the ready-to-drink green tea. I feel so sorry for that and want to do something about it — not selling tea, but try to tell people how to judge green tea and how to enjoy it.
I am very pleased to find one more true green tea lover!
Green tea is amazing! It can change people’s life so dramatically. Whenever I successfully persuade people begin to drink green tea, I am so happy and when people inform me that how much better they feel after they consume Tai Chi Green Tea, I am so happy.
Keep enjoying. Hope we can meet someday — I occasionally go Health Hut to do demo.

Hey there Tea Man,
I saw video, Asian Health Secrets. Where the woman. Took you around China town, I think in New York or LA. The the Chinese herbalist and how to buy healthy vegetable according to a Red tongue–Pale tongue theory. She said Chinese mothers would look at their children’s tongue and determine what vegetable the family needed. That this would be a good thing for American’s to use to monitor our health. Which symtom is best to use green tea for, and why?
She also said to my surprise that carrots and sweet potatoes were bad for diabetic and should be avoided, like ginseng is bad for hypertention. Does green tea have any neagtive effects.?

Al, thanks.
“She also said to my surprise that carrots and sweet potatoes were bad for diabetic and should be avoided, like ginseng is bad for hypertention. Does green tea have any neagtive effects.? ”
Green tea is not good for people that is too thin, too weak, people has a constant lower blood sugar and lower blood pressure. Chinese doctors do not allow those thin, weak people to drink green tea.
Green tea is a daily consumption to keep blood pressure lower and often used as a supplemental drug for people with high blood sugar — see the documents:
http://www.taichigreentea.com/Enjoy_Green_Tea.html
Diabetes
• Only making the tea with cold water.
• Only consume green tea with food or after eating something because green tea lowers blood sugar. Limit
consumption amount.
• If taking medicine, take medicine and green tea separately. Do not take green tea and medicine at the same time.
High Blood Pressure
• Drink and eat green tea.
• Consume as much as one can take. Do not consume too much to let the tea interrupt sleep.
• Many people think that people with high blood pressure cannot consume green tea because it contains caffeine.
Actually, green tea is very helpful in lowering blood pressure.
