Green Tea
Green
Tea has a light and refreshing taste, is the perfect addition to any diet. Like
white teas they experience very little processing, therefore the nutrients are
unaltered and the high levels of antioxidants are preserved. The final drying
techniques finish the 
leaf to create
its ultimate appearance when dry. Green teas are a natural and delicious way to
include antioxidants in your diet.
The
popularity of green tea has created a field of research which lead to the
discovery of Polyphenols; a compound that neutralized free radicals. According
to the April 2005 issue of the Mayo Clinic Health Letter. “Evidence suggests it could be beneficial in
preventing some cancers.”
Tea polyphenols may be 100 times more
effective than Vitamin C and 25 times more effective than Vitamin E. Green tea
has been shown to help control cholesterol. There is also evidence that green
tea increases metabolism that can promote weight loss, combined with exercise
and a healthy diet. As more studies of the benefits of green tea are conducted,
science will further confirm what many tea-drinking cultures already know about
the positive effects of regular tea consumption. On the April 2005 Mayo Clinic Health Letter
Green tea was on of the 10 gotta-have foods.
