Discover the Health Benefits of Nama, Japan's Fermented Tea

Nama is a type of fermented tea that originated in Japan. It is made by allowing the tea leaves to undergo a process of microbial fermentation, which gives the tea its distinctive taste and aroma. The fermentation process involves the action of lactic acid bacteria and yeast, which break down the tea's catechins and tannins, producing a beverage with a slightly sour and fruity flavor.
Nama is considered to be a healthy drink due to its high levels of antioxidants and probiotics, which can help support digestive health and boost the immune system. It is also believed to have anti-inflammatory properties and may help reduce the risk of certain diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Nama is typically served in small cups and is often enjoyed as a refreshing beverage during the summer months. It is also used as an ingredient in various Japanese dishes, such as miso soup and takikomi gohan (a type of rice porridge).
