About Us
In Crimson Teas, we let tea be your food - as a continuation of my previous work among the mental health & kidney health populations, and study. We make our own noodles with brewed tea (currently in patent application) so that the tea tannins form insoluble complexes with gluten that is potentially gluten intolerance friendly and also with retarded starch digestion glycemic friendly. Further, black teas contain theaflavins that protect nigral dopaminergic neurons against chronic MPTP/probenecid induced Parkinson’s Disease and have been revealed in epidemiology studies in correlation with reduced risk of Parkinson’s Disease - as an indicator disease of neurodegeneration. As well, black teas especially Pu-erh’s theaflavins are able to completely neutralize bovine coronavirus and rotavirus infections, making them effective beverages that inhibit COVID!
Our special combo meals with tea are our mission in action serving food of great value and health benefits in our beloved University-Chinatown neighbourhood, downtown Toronto.

More on Pu-Erh Teas
“Pu-erh” is a derived name from the twin cities that have been for thousands of years the trading hub of the giant Camellia Sinensis tea leaf harvested in the nearby mountain ranges situated along the Tropic of Cancer that receives direct sunlight year-round, in Yunnan of China. While the dark, smooth, earthy “Ripe” fully fermented version using a 1973 developed method is the most commonly available, the most traditional is the sun-dried, naturally fermenting “Raw” that offers a complex flavour. There is also the Moon Light White (the most tender), green (oven-dried), and the “Red” (fermented with the latest method) Pu-erh are available in our store at a price of $48 (now with a COVID discount of 10%) per puck of 100g.
Pu-erh offers a range of pleasantly surprising health benefits in particular hypoglycaemic and has been demonstrated to inhibit advanced glycation end-product formation that ameliorates the progression of experimental diabetic kidney failure in a mice model. As well, the theaflavins in Pu-erh is also revealed to be able to completely inhibit COVID virus replication in cell culture.
