Green Tea

What is Green Tea?

Green tea is a tea made from fresh unfermented green tea leaves from the Camellia Sinensis plant. Green tea undergoes less processing than black and oolong teas. Immediately after harvesting, the leaves are either lightly pan-roasted or steamed to maintain their nutritious qualities, delicate flavor, and natural green color. With its mild grassy and refreshing flavor, green tea, which originated in China more than 3,000 years ago, is currently one of the most popular teas drunk worldwide.

How is Green Tea Produced?

Enzymes like peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase are removed from the product by steaming or mild roasting as soon as it is harvested. Unlike other teas, our green tea leaves are slowly heated to a regulated temperature of 65°C during pan-frying, limiting oxidation while maintaining freshness and flavor.

Green Tea Benefits

Antioxidant Power

Green tea is packed with antioxidants like catechins (especially EGCG) which protect against cell damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals.

Supports Heart Health

Regular consumption can help lower blood pressure, reduce bad LDL cholesterol, and improve good HDL cholesterol, thus significantly decreasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Blood Sugar Regulation

Green tea may improve insulin sensitivity and help stabilize blood sugar levels, making it beneficial for preventing or managing type 2 diabetes.

Enhances Brain Function

The combination of caffeine and amino acids in green tea boosts cognitive function, improving memory, focus, alertness, and mental clarity.

Boosts Immune System

Its antioxidants and nutrients help strengthen your immune system, reducing the risk of infections.

Promotes Skin Health

The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of green tea help reduce skin inflammation, prevent UV damage, and keep your skin youthful and radiant.

Does Green Tea Have Caffeine?

Compared to black tea or coffee, green tea contains caffeine but not as much. This reduced caffeine level offers a mild, long-lasting energy boost that improves alertness without causing the jitters or anxiety that coffee use is known to produce.

Green Tea and Weight Loss

Regular use of green tea may help with weight loss according to research. Its active components, particularly the catechins, may increase calorie expenditure, speed up your metabolism, and improve the way your body burns fat. Although green tea by itself won't help you lose a lot of weight, it will assist you in reaching your weight loss goals when combined with a healthy diet and consistent exercise.

Green Tea with Lemon Benefits

Adding lemon to your green tea greatly increases its health benefits. Green tea's antioxidant absorption is improved by lemon, increasing its effectiveness. For those who find regular green tea harsh, this delightful mix also helps with digestion, provides a refreshing and pleasant flavor, and strengthens your immune system with additional Vitamin C.
