THE GOLDEN OIL
Camellia oil, also known as tea oil, is China's most ancient and time-honored ligneous plant-oil. It is obtained from the seeds of the Camellia oleifela, the flowering Oil-seed Camellia tree native to China.
THE BEST OIL FOR HEALTH
Oil pressed from these tea-oil seeds contains camellia glycosides, tea polyphenols, and flavonoids, all compounds beneficial to healthy cell function. The oil has a bidirectional regulation effect on the body’s blood fat and cholesterol by removing harmful lipids (fatty acids and low-density cholesterol) while retaining beneficial blood lipids (HDL cholesterol). It plays a significant role in maintaining general health by regulating body circulation, and also prevents cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
GROWING CAMELLIA TEA SEEDS
Camellia trees require the unique environmental combination of high altitude, mountainous terrain, and pollution-free air in order to grow and thrive. The progression of the camellia flower to oil-producing seed requires over 15 months. In early autumn, lush flowers bloom from the plant, and mature, in late autumn the following year, into dry pods containing tea oil-seeds.
