Japanese Twig (Kukicha/Bancha) Organic Haiku Tea 16 tea bags: K $3.95 During the fall in the Uji district, traditional center of the Japanese tea industry, the Nagata family turns to the harvest of tea twigs for Kukicha, the “peasant’s drink”, so-called because farmers drank it after selling the leaves to sophisticated urbanites as a cash crop. The Nagatas carefully select 40% medium 3-yr, 40% thick 10-yr, and 20% thin twigs and leaves aged 1 year, before gently roasting each variety separately to bring out its rich flavor. Because caffeine is concentrated in the leaves, twig tea is low in caffeine and can be drunk even at night. Haiku® Twig Tea teabags are always two full grams of 100% Nagata Japanese Organic Kukicha Tea, the finest quality in the world. Try it and you will understand why true connoisseurs of Japanese twig tea will drink nothing else. |

Japanese Roasted Green (Hojicha) Organic Haiku Tea 16 tea bags: K $3.95 By early summer in the Uji district, traditional center of the Japanese tea industry, tea leaves grow too large and coarse for the Nagata family to make into Sencha. The Nagatas steam these leaves to prevent fermentation, mix them with volcanic sand, and roast them in revolving ovens to make Hojicha. The sand, later removed, helps the leaves roast slowly and evenly. Roasting further neutralizes the leaves’ already weak astringent and stimulating qualities (tea leaves contain less caffeine as they grow older)and gives this tea its distinctive smoky or nutty flavor. The result is unparalleled taste and quality, as perfectly balanced as a poem. In order to insure the richest, most authentic flavor, Haiku Roasted Green Tea teabags are always two full grams of 100% Nagata Organic Japanese Hojicha Tea, the finest quality in the world. Try it and you will understand why true connoisseurs of Japanese roasted green tea will drink nothing else. |

”Argent” Titanium with Swarovski Crystals & Japanese Germanium – NEW & The Best Gift She will get this Year! $149 “?Argent? is the newest addition to our Titanium Wellness Collection & we hope to your Wellness Universe very soon. ?Argent? represents a stunning combination of genuine ”Swarovski” crystals accenting the exterior & 99.99% pure Japanese germanium stones embedded within the interior design. Lets begin to get acquainted a bit more with germanium and if you would like to read even more the link below will be useful to you. As you may have heard and experienced yourself our current urban lifestyle exposes the human body to harmful positive ions generated from such things as mobile phones, electronic equipment, chemicals or acid rain and ultraviolet rays to name a few of the things that can bombard us everyday. Hence, a balance between the positive ions (which are bad for us) and the negative ions (which are good for us) is the goal to achieve. The negative-charge ion from Germanium it is said can help to contribute in helping to balance the positive and negative ions within the body. Technically a germanium atom has thirty-two electrons with four of them constantly moving unsteadily along its outermost shell. These four electrons are negative-charge carriers. One of these four electrons will be ejected out of its orbit once the temperature is above 32 degrees Celsius. The remaining three electrons will seize an electron from other atoms in order to maintain balance. In essence, once in contact with the human skin, the negatively charged electrons from the millions of Germanium atoms will attract the harmful positively charged electrons from the body. There are so many interesting things going on around us that we never seem to give a second thought to and this bracelet is now one of those ?interesting new things?. About the metal used to craft this piece : As you may know titanium is factually stronger than gold or platinum and is three times stronger than steel. Titanium has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of all metals. Titanium will not irritate or discolor your skin and will not harm the body in any way. As a result titanium is used by the medical and dental fields in surgical implants, bone screws, hip replacements, heart valves and more. This all adds up to ?The Right Choice? in metal selection for ?Argent? and can only be purchased here at AceMagnetics.com (Limited Holiday Supply). Let?s take a look again at the reasons you?re considering this piece and the reasons we think it is the best buy on the market. 1) Ultra light weight Titanium 2) 99.99% Pure Japanese Germanium Stones, not powder 3) Five Designer ?Swarovski? Crystals 4) ? Argent? is clearly a winning choice when it comes to wellness therapy products 5) Only available at AceMagnetics.com Finally we urge you to save time, save gas, leave the crowds behind and let us package this one up for you and ship it out today when ordered by 11am eastern standard time. Otherwise your order will ship tomorrow via USPS Priority mail and be delivered within 2-3 days w/tracking when an e-mail |

Japanese Green Tea 1 lb: V (Special Order) $19.95 This is loose green tea, not bagged. One pound is the equivalent of approximately 200 tea bags. The phrase ‘Black Tea’ is used as a generic name for all Camelia sinensis teas. The major Black Tea types, from the traditional black tea evergeen (Camellia sinensis), classified according to processing method, include: fermented, or black, tea, producing an amber-coloured, full-flavoured beverage without bitterness; semi-fermented, or oolong, producing a slightly bitter, light brownish-green liquid; and unfermented, or green, tea, resulting in a mild, slightly bitter, pale greenish-yellow beverage. Green tea should be steeped in very hot, but not boiling, water. Boiling water will scorch the delicate flavor, rendering it bitter. Green tea comes mainly from China, Japan, Taiwan and, to a lesser degree, India. The critical difference between green and black tea is that green tea leaves are not allowed to ferment. Green tea is, instead, steamed, rolled and fired. Green tea is the natural dried leaves of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. Black tea is oxidized green tea. Green tea is not graded similar to black tea but classified according to age, style of the leaf and manufacture, e.g., Gunpowder, Pan-fired, Young Hysson, Bancha, etc. Since green tea, unlike black and oolong tea, is not fermented, the active constituents remain unaltered in the herb. Green tea is bioflavonoid-rich, proven useful for fighting free radical damage in the human body. It has a high content of polyphenols, which are a class of bioflavonoids. Green tea’s best studied polyphenol is Epigallocatechin Gallate. Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), protects against digestive and respiratory infections. A solution of 1 mcg per ml of EGCG heavily inhibited influenza virus in vitro. Green tea is beneficial in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease as it exerts antioxidant activity, lowers cholesterol and reduces platelet aggregation (stickiness). Green tea extract is very good for the arteries and heart. Additional studies have demonstrated enhanced liver function and immune system function secondary to these polyphenols. Tea contains only four calories per cup when consumed without added ingredients but is a source of several B-complex vitamins, including B2 and nicotinic acid. Caffeine is responsible for tea’s stimulating effect. Flavour is produced by volatile oils, and astringency and colour by tannin. Teas are classified according to region of origin, as in China, Ceylon, Japanese, Indonesian, and African tea, or by smaller district, as in Darjeeling, Assam, and Nilgris from India, Uva and Dimbula from Sri Lanka, Keemun from Chi-men in China’s Anhwei Province, and Enshu from Japan. Teas are also classified by the size of the processed leaf. Traditional operations result in larger leafy grades and smaller broken grades. The leafy grades are flowery pekoe (FP), orange pekoe (OP), pekoe (P), pekoe souchong (PS), and souchong (S). BOP=B |

Happy Frog Japanese Maple Organic Fertilizer 4-8-5, 4 lb Bag: J $9 Finally, a fertilizer that’s blended for the unique needs of Japanese maples. Japanese Maple Fertilizer uses a lower-nitrogen formula that supports a natural tendency to grow in cool weather environments. This means less leaf scorch in summer—even in sun—and a smooth transition to dazzling fall color. A lower pH helps the roots take up the nutrients they need, and phosphorus and potassium deliver color illumination like you’ve never seen before. You’ll get all the brilliant reds, purples, and oranges that make Japanese maples the crowning glory of the garden. Our Japanese Maple fertilizer contains premium organic ingredients like bat guano, cottonseed meal, feather meal and humic acid, a naturally occurring organic material that is formed when organic matter decomposes. Humic acid helps with seed germination and may increase the uptake of important micronutrients. Best of all, FoxFarm adds 20 species of beneficial microbes to help convert fertilizers into vital plant food and fight off disease. It’s granulated and easy to use, and it provides gentle, slow-release feedings all season long. All of our Happy Frog® organic fertilizers are specially formulated to replenish the soil, lift the human spirit, and beautify the Earth, naturally. Bring your plants to life! Garden tip: Use 1/2 cup for every two feet of plant height, and feed monthly throughout the growing season. Because Japanese maples have shallow root systems, mulch regularly with Happy Frog® Soil Conditioner and keep soil damp. |

Although its use as a sex-drug is dubious to a high degree, it does produce chemical compounds that are antiseptic, analgesic, & known to be nervous system stimulants, & like stronger hallucinogens can temporarily alter perception…. One of the more intriguing uses of Japanese Sweetflag is for the manufacture of a Korean alcoholic beverage called Liquor of the Immortals, having effects similar to those of absinthe.” The whole plant is anodyne, antiperiodic, antispasmodic, digestive, diaphoretic, diuretic, expectorant, sedative, stimulant, stomachic, sudorific, tonic, vermifuge.

Sulfites are used to give herbs the appearance of freshness. As with dried fruit, unsulfured herbs look different than those that are adulterated with preservatives. Herbs that are preservative free are more natural looking and are generally darker. The brightness of the herbs may be appealing, but it indicates the presence of harmful additives. Despite their appearance, unsulfured herbs are more fresh and safer than regular commercially available products. The use of sulfur, chlorine and aluminum phosphate was made unnecessary through the establishment of Plum Flower processing stations in China. Herb harvesters slice and process the herbs fresh, avoiding the need to rehydrate dried herbs later to process. This first step is crucial, as rehydration leads to decomposition and thus the need for preservatives. The herbs are then packed and the packages vacuum-packed, injected with nitrogen, and sealed. The nitrogen process combined with the lack of sulfur treatment inhibits the growth of anaerobic organisms, resulting in safer, higher quality herbs. After opening, store in a cool dry place. The facilities in Lanzhou and Guang Zhou, China, scientifically test each batch of herbs before, during and after the processing to make sure that all the active ingredients are present. Herbs |

Foojoy Japanese Green Tea (Lu Cha) 100 teabags (7 oz / 200 gram): V (Special Order) $14.96 Foojoy is a famous Chinese gourmet brand of individually wrapped tea bags. Green tea should be steeped in very hot, but not boiling, water. Boiling water will scorch the delicate flavor, rendering it bitter. Green tea comes mainly from China, Japan, Taiwan and, to a lesser degree, India. The critical difference between green and black tea is that green tea leaves are not allowed to ferment. Green tea is, instead, steamed, rolled and fired. Green tea is the natural dried leaves of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. Black tea is oxidized green tea. The phrase ‘Black Tea’ is also used as a generic name for all Camelia sinensis teas. The major Black Tea types, from the traditional black tea evergeen (Camellia sinensis), classified according to processing method, include: fermented, or black, tea, producing an amber-coloured, full-flavoured beverage without bitterness; semi-fermented, or oolong, producing a slightly bitter, light brownish-green liquid; and unfermented, or green, tea, resulting in a mild, slightly bitter, pale greenish-yellow beverage. Tea contains only four calories per cup when consumed without added ingredients but is a source of several B-complex vitamins, including B2 and nicotinic acid. Caffeine is responsible for tea’s stimulating effect. Flavor is produced by volatile oils, and astringency and color by tannin. Black teas are classified by geographical origin and the size of the processed leaf. Traditional operations result in larger leafy grades and smaller broken grades. The leafy grades are flowery pekoe (FP), orange pekoe (OP), pekoe (P), pekoe souchong (PS), and souchong (S). BOP=Broken Orange pekoe; FOP=Flowery Orange Pekoe; TGFOP-Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe; FTGFOP=Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe. Green tea is not graded similar to black tea but classified according to age, style of the leaf and manufacture, e.g., Gunpowder, Pan-fired, Young Hysson, Bancha, etc. Since green tea, unlike black and oolong tea, is not fermented, the active constituents remain unaltered in the herb. Green tea is bioflavonoid-rich, proven useful for fighting free radical damage in the human body. It has a high content of polyphenols, which are a class of bioflavonoids. Green tea’s best studied polyphenol is Epigallocatechin Gallate. Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), protects against digestive and respiratory infections. A solution of 1 mcg per ml of EGCG heavily inhibited influenza virus in vitro. Green tea is beneficial in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease as it exerts antioxidant activity, lowers cholesterol and reduces platelet aggregation (stickiness). Green tea extract is very good for the arteries and heart. Additional studies have demonstrated enhanced liver function and immune system function secondary to these polyphenols. EGCG helps block the cancer-promoting actions of carcinogens, ultraviolet light, and metastasis from an original site in the skin, stomach, smal |

Japanese Raisin Tree Seed (Hovenia dulcis; Zhi Ju Zi) 5:1 Extract Powder 100 gm: V (Special Order) $23.4 The fruit can be dried when they have the sweet flavour and texture of raisins and can be used similarly. A sweet extract of the seed, boughs and young leaves is used as a substitute for honey. The seed contains 15% protein and 7.8% fat. The fruit is antispasmodic, febrifuge, laxative and diuretic. The seeds are diuretic and are used in the treatment of alcohol overdose. The seeds are used to relieve intoxication due to wine. This is a potent 5 to 1 powdered extract, meaning that one gram of extract is equal in potency to 5 grams of herb. This extract is packed in Plum Flower Brand’s nitrogen-flushed, safety-sealed dispenser bottle, a sample of which is pictured above. Plum Flower is one of the most distinguished herb houses in the world. This is a pure herbal product with no additives. Extracted from sulfur-free and chlorine-free herbs for superior quality. Manufactured in a low-temperature water extraction process to preserve herb integrity. Extracted essential oils are replenished for proper potency. Strict quality control testing to ensure microbiological and heavy metal safety. Only powdered herb added to maintain purity (no artificial fillers such as lactose, cellulose or starch used). TLC (Thin-layer Chromatography) tested to guarantee product quality. Plum Flower takes great care to preserve delicate herbal oils, which are first evaporated using either a water or water-alcohol base in a process that never exceeds 100° centigrade. Sealed vacuum chargers precisely control the temperature, ensuring that none of the oils are lost. Cheaper, high-temperature methods are common industry practice, but these tend to burn off the vital oils. The facilities in Lanzhou and Guang Zhou, China, scientifically test each batch of herbs before, during and after the processing to make sure that all the active ingredients are present. Herbs are also tested to ensure that the formulas surpass all FDA guidelines regarding heavy metals. Those herbs exported to the U.S. are voluntarily submitted to the FDA for approval. Finally, batches are regularly sent out for quality control testing in third-party labs to double-ensure that Plum Flower products are 100% free of pharmaceuticals, preservatives and dyes. The Lanzhou and Guang Zhou factories are so clean, they are certified by the Australian Government’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (GMP). These standards surpass any of the FDA, and are considered the highest for any government agency in the world. |

Pyrrosia Leaf (Pyrrosia Lingua; Japanese Felt Fern; Shi Wei) Whole: 500 gm (1.17 lb): V (Special Order) $11.25 This is Plum Flower brand’s nitrogen-flushed vacuum pack. Plum Flower is one of the most distinguished herb houses in the world. Sulfur Free, Chlorine Free, Aluminum Phosphate Free. Sulfites are used to give herbs the appearance of freshness. As with dried fruit, unsulfured herbs look different than those that are adulterated with preservatives. Herbs that are preservative free are more natural looking and are generally darker. The brightness of the herbs may be appealing, but it indicates the presence of harmful additives. Despite their appearance, unsulfured herbs are more fresh and safer than regular commercially available products. The use of sulfur, chlorine and aluminum phosphate was made unnecessary through the establishment of Plum Flower processing stations in China. Herb harvesters slice and process the herbs fresh, avoiding the need to rehydrate dried herbs later to process. This first step is crucial, as rehydration leads to decomposition and thus the need for preservatives. The herbs are then packed and the packages vacuum-packed, injected with nitrogen, and sealed. The nitrogen process combined with the lack of sulfur treatment inhibits the growth of anaerobic organisms, resulting in safer, higher quality herbs. After opening, store in a cool dry place. The facilities in Lanzhou and Guang Zhou, China, scientifically test each batch of herbs before, during and after the processing to make sure that all the active ingredients are present. Herbs are also tested to ensure that the formulas surpass all FDA guidelines regarding heavy metals. Those herbs exported to the U.S. are voluntarily submitted to the FDA for approval.
