What is Green Tea |
 |
Green Tea is a tea that has undergone
minimal oxidation during processing. Green
Tea is popular in China, Uzbekistan,
Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Japan, Taiwan, Hong
Kong, Morocco, and the Middle East.
Recently, it has become more widespread in
the West where, traditionally, black tea is
consumed.
Green Tea is graded depending on the quality and the
parts of the plant used. There are large
variations in both price and quality within
these broad categories, and there are many
specialty green teas that fall outside this
spectrum.

50% of the catechism in green tea is EGCG (epigallocatechin
gallate) which has especially high
anti-oxidant properties.
ECGC removes oxidised free radicals from our body thus preventing
damage to cells and DNA. The anti-oxidant
properties of EGCG are believed to be 100

Green tea contains flavonoids. Flavonoids

chemical constituents found in most fresh
fruits & vegetables. Flavonoids are
essential for processing vitamin C, know to
help maintain a healthy immune system. A

pressure |
|
Tea is rich in polyphenols, which have
activities consistent with blood
pressure–lowering potential. Green tea also
contains Gamma Amino Butyric Acid which is
thought to lower blood pressure. A study
done on a human population in China
suggested that habitual tea drinking was
related to reduced instances of hypertension
(high blood pressure). Another and
significant cause of hypertension is
angiotension-converting enzyme (ACE), ACE is
an enzyme secreted by the kidneys; Green Tea
is a natural ACE inhibitor
