Here at Tea Culture of the World, we not only talk about the flavor of tea, but its potential to make life much better in several ways.

A Steep in Skincare: Why Green Tea Works

The magic of the best green tea lies in its potent antioxidants, which are known to fight free radicals and reduce inflammation. Add to this its antibacterial and astringent properties, and you’ve got a companion for healthier skin. 

Using loose leaf green tea from Tea Culture of the World, like our delicate Green Tea or aromatic Kashmiri Kahwa, ensures you’re drinking only the best to your skin. These blends are rich in nutrients, ethically sourced, and crafted with purity in mind.

DIY Face Mist for Midday Freshness

Imagine a green tea face mist as your skin's mini-boost. It moisturizes, calms, and refreshes tired skin, particularly on sweltering, humid days. 

Here’s how you can make it:

• Simply steep a cup of the best green tea bags. Try our  Flowery Bouquet that blends rose and hibiscus flowers and earthy liquorice roots with the mild flavour of green tea.
• Allow it to cool, then pour into a small spray bottle.
• Refrigerate and use within three days.

Spritz it on your face during the mid-day, after cleansing, or prior to your moisturiser.
