## Abstract

A mud mask with real green tea leaves is described. The mud mask is made by separating a real green tea leaf batch into a first sub-batch, a second sub-batch, and a third sub-batch. The first sub-batch is ground into a fine powder, while the second sub-batch remains as whole leaves and the third sub-batch is chopped into partially chopped leaves. The fine powder and whole leaves are added to hot water for a period of time to form a brewed tea. Thereafter, the partially chopped leaves and mud components are added to the brewed tea to form a mud solution, which is mixed to form the mud product. The mud product is packaged and allowed to marinate, which allows the leaves to begin releasing their nutrients and antioxidants into the mud formula, after which the mud mask includes atypical and unusually high levels of nutrients, antioxidants and caffeine.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for making a packaged green tea mud mask product comprising:
forming a green tea mud mask product; and
packaging and sealing the green tea mud mask product in retail packaging;
wherein said forming the green tea mud mask product comprises:
separating a green tea leaf batch of whole leaves into three sub-batches, a first sub-batch, a second sub-batch, and a third sub-batch;
grinding the first sub-batch into a fine powder;
chopping the third sub-batch into partially chopped leaves;
heating water;
adding the fine powder and second sub-batch to the heated water for a period of time to form a brewed tea;
adding, after the period of time, the partially chopped leaves and mud to the brewed tea to form a mud solution; and
mixing the mud solution to form the green tea mud product.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method as set forth in claim 1, further comprising marinating the green tea mud mask product for a marinating period.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method as set forth in claim 2, wherein the green tea leaf batch has an initial mass, with the first sub-batch having a mass that is approximately one percent (1.0%) of the initial mass, while the second sub-batch has a mass that is approximately one and one quarter percent (1.25%) of the initial mass, and the third sub-batch has a mass that is approximately ninety seven and three quarters percent (97.75%) of the initial mass.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The green tea mud mask product as set forth in claim 6, wherein the green tea leaves collectively have an initial mass, such that the fine powder has a mass that is approximately one percent (1.0%) of the initial mass, while the whole green tea leaves have a mass that is approximately one and one quarter percent (1.25%) of the initial mass, and the partially chopped green tea leaves have a mass that is approximately ninety seven and three quarters percent (97.75%) of the initial mass.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The green tea mud mask product as set forth in claim 7, wherein green tea leaves comprise approximately ten percent by volume of the mud product while the mud comprise approximately ninety percent by volume of the mud product.
