green tea

For over 4,000 years the people in the East have looked on Green Tea as a miracle drink due to it’s countless medicinal and health benefits.
Green tea is heat-treated and rapidly dried and then rolled. It is not fermented. This different process is said to preserve all the antioxidant and other properties in the green tea.

Green tea contains catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which is said to be the reason why green tea has so many health benefits. Green tea also contains the amino acid theanine, chlorophyll, and lignin. Research has shown that these excellent properties help to: increase metabolism and optimize weight loss, inhibit growth of cancer cells without harming healthy cells, lower cholesterol levels, stops abnormal clots forming and therefore helps prevent strokes and heart attacks, and promote cell regeneration. Green tea also has bacteria destroying properties.

Green tea is best brewed with hot, not boiling, water for 1-2 minutes and has a shelf life of 1 ½ years.
