The Miracle of Green Tea

Since the first cup of green tea almost five thousand years ago, the popularity of tea has grown to the point that it is now the second most consumed beverage in the world. Only water is more popular. Is any other food or drink reported to have as many health benefits as green tea?

The Chinese have known about the medicinal benefits of green tea since ancient times, using it to treat everything from headaches to depression.
There is also research indicating that drinking green tea lowers total cholesterol levels, as well as improving the ratio of good (HDL) cholesterol to bad (LDL) cholesterol.

Why don't other Chinese teas have similar health-giving properties? Green, oolong, and black teas all come from the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant. What sets green tea apart is the way it is processed.
Green tea leaves are steamed, which prevents the EGCG compound from being oxidized. By contrast, black and oolong tea leaves are made from fermented leaves, which results in the EGCG being converted into other compounds that are not nearly as effective in preventing and fighting various diseases.

The medicinal properties of tea are attributed to flavonoid phytochemicals called polyphenols. The polyphenols found in tea mainly belong to the subtype called catechins. The main catechins in green tea include gallocatechin (GC), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin (EC), and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Green tea has about 25% more catechins than black tea.

New evidence is emerging that green tea can even help dieters. In November, 1999, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published the results of a study at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. Researchers found that men who were given a combination of caffeine and green tea extract burned more calories than those given only caffeine or a placebo.

Green Tea also can help rheumatoid arthritis treatment. According to a new study antioxidants in green tea may prevent and reduce the severity of rheumatoid arthritis. The study examined the effects of green tea leaves polyphenols on collagen-induced arthritis in mice, which is similar to rheumatoid arthritis in humans.
Polyphenols are chemicals that occur naturally in certain foods, including green tea, and many work as antioxidants to protect the body from oxidative stress that causes disease. One cup of green tea provides 10-40 mg of polyphenols and has antioxidant effects greater than a serving of broccoli, spinach, carrots, or strawberries.

Green tea can even help prevent tooth decay! Just as its bacteria-destroying abilities can help prevent food poisoning, it can also kill the bacteria that causes dental plaque. Meanwhile, skin preparations containing green tea - from deodorants to creams - are starting to appear on the market.

Main health benefits of drinking green tea

Eliminates free radicals preventing cancer development by blocking the growth of substance that causes cancer. This also arrests aging.
Connects with cholesterol, absorbs and blocks it.
Decreases cholesterol level in blood and prevents bad cholesterol caused by oxidation, which prevents narrowing of blood vessel caused by the build-up of bad cholesterol.
Prevents arterial sclerosis, thrombosis, heart attacks and brain strokes.
Effective for high blood pressure.
Blocks a function of enzyme that digests and absorbs sugar and prevents diabetes.
Suppresses aggregation of platelets and prevents thrombosis such as heart attacks and brain strokes.
Fights bacteria and viruses and prevents influenza, food poisoning and cavities including: O-157, Dysentery, Cholera, Mouth bacteria that can damage teeth, gums, and lead to periodontal disease, Piccoli, which causes gastric ulcers.
Improves conditions of intestines by blocking growth of bad bacteria and enhancing good bacteria like bifid bacteria. This regulates the function of intestines.
Detoxifies by connecting with poisonous substance and harmful heavy metals (lead, chrome, mercury, cadmium, etc.)

Gargling with green tea is believed to be an effective way to protect oneself from influenza because of tea’s anti-viral functions.
The best way to preserve all the disease fighting nutritions is to drink your tea freshly brewed. Also you can supplement your diet with green tea capsules, tablets, powder or liquid extracts.

Pu Erh Tea
8 oz $7.55
Pu Erh Tea
1 lb $13.53
Pu-erh or Puer tea is a fermented tea named after Pu'er county in Yunnan China. It is an unusual tea because unlike other teas which are consumed shortly after production it can be over 50 years old and is usually aged at least 1-4 years. Over this time it acquires an earthy flavour due to fermentation (not the oxidation used for oolong or black teas). This leads to Pu-erh having the unique trait among tea varieties of not losing its qualities after a year or two and of being classified by connoisseurs by year of production.
The flavour of Pu-erh is often under-appreciated because it actually gets better with age. Letting it aged in a cool dry closet will improve your cup of tea when the dry aged leaves are finally brewed. The Pu-erh tea has been subject of many medical studies which substantiated claims that the tea helps reduce cholesterol levels and saturated fats in humans and that it might also assist in weight loss.

Pekoe White Tea
White Flowery Pekoe Tea 1 lb $225.29

White tea is one of the most glamorous and expensive teas in the world. It is difficult to obtain, as production is extremely limited. White tea is produced in China exclusively, mainly in Fukien province.
Although similar to green tea, white tea is very different from other types of tea. White tea leaves are plucked from a special varietal tea bush called Narcissus or Chaicha bushes. The leaves are not steamed, pan-fired or fermented but only naturally withered and dried in the sun. If mechanical drying is required it is a baking process at temperatures less that 40C (104F). Only special two leaves and a bud are selected. These leaves must show a very light green almost gray white color and be ideally covered with velvet peach fuzz down.
