Well, the wonderful season of spring has finally starting to show itself through little signs of nature – some flowers poking through here, some birds fluttering there, warmer days, later sunsets and it feels incredibly re-invigorating! It’s been a long winter but we made it through and our reward is right around the corner!
To help break up the long winter I went back to Japan in March & April for 4 weeks to see my family and friends. While there I took some courses to brush up my skills and to get some new techniques. I’ll mention them in my next newsletter.
While in Japan I also bought some matcha green tea, a tea bowl and a tea whisk. For the month of May I’ll serve my guests matcha tea with some fruit chocolate from Japan after each treatment at Serenity Salon. Matcha tea has lots of nutrients, vitamins, catechins, fiber and many other powerful ingredients. Amongst its many health benefits, matcha…
- Is packed with antioxidants including the powerful EGCg
- Boosts metabolism and burns calories
- Detoxifies effectively and naturally
- Calms the mind and relaxes the body
- Is rich in fiber, chlorophyll and vitamins
- Enhances mood and aids in concentration
- Provides vitamin C, selenium, chromium, zinc and magnesium
- Prevents disease
- Lowers cholesterol and blood sugar
This special, complimentary tea ceremony is being offered until the end of May (my apologies, this cannot be done for mobile service).
Enjoy the warming spring weather.
