It's green tea.
The origin of tea is said to have been around 2700 B.C., when Shennong in China discovered it as a medicine.
At first, it was taken for medicinal purposes, but it gradually spread as a drink.
It was 5000 years ago in China.
In Suishu, Hubei Province, in the middle of the Yangtze River, a boy was born, later called Shenongen Emperor.
The child's mother, Meto, became pregnant after being touched by the spirit of the dragon god while traveling.
The boy grew up fast. He spoke at 3 days old, walked at 5 days old, and had teeth at 7 days old.
He grew to be 2m 60cm tall, strong, inquisitive and thoughtful.
Shinno, who became the leader of a hamlet called Kang, devoted himself to the lives and health of his people.
In the days when hunting and fishing were the main activities, he developed the know-how of grain cultivation.
He also invented agricultural equipment, which was the prototype of hoes and spades, to stabilize people's lives through farming.
This is the origin of the name Shinno.
He is also said to have invented torches made by bundling oily wood.
by bringing light and heat to the people, and by virtue of fire
He was also called "Entei."
They began to exchange goods on a fixed day, and they also established the prototype of markets and trade.
This is why they are called the god of business.
People in those days had stomach problems from raw water and raw food.
Even when they got sick or injured, they suffered without any way to heal.
So the Emperor Jinno Enshi went into the mountain himself and examined all the plants and trees he saw.
what is good and what is harmful,
He taught people about what could be medicine and its benefits.
The method of investigation of Shinno Entei is unique.
Crush the plants with the red whip in your hand, and try it yourself.
Surprisingly, Shinno's body was crystal clear and his internal organs were visible from the outside.
When you eat harmful grasses, your internal organs turn black, and you can tell immediately that they are poisonous.
One day, he suffers terribly from 72 poisons in one day.
He took a young leaf with white flowers and a fresh fragrance which was near him.
The leaves moved all over my belly, the poison in my body disappeared, and my condition recovered.
The leaf looked like an examination of the intestines;
The Emperor Jinno Entei called the leaves “kaku, ” meaning“ grass to be examined. ”.
It is said that it changed to "tea" without realizing it.
Since then, Emperor Jinno Entei used tea to eliminate poison and collected more medicinal herbs.
One day, however, when he took a small piece of grass with yellow flowers in his mouth, he suffered a severe pain that made his intestines twist.
That was the only time he could not eat tea in time, and his intestines were cut into pieces by the deadly poison, and he died.
Green tea in Japan is green because tea leaves are used as they are. You can get medicinal ingredients originally contained in tea.
Green tea is made by picking the new shoots of the tea tree and drying them. If you put it in hot water, it will return to the original sprouts, so you can use it for cooking.
Tea shoots are also edible. After drinking green tea, you should put the remaining tea leaves into fried rice.
And "Matcha" is more effective because it is powdered tea ground with a stone mill. They drink the tea leaves themselves.
Drinking all the tea leaves has the greatest health benefits.
