Green Tea
Green Tea
Green tea made from unfermented leaves that is pale in colour and slightly bitter in flavour and produced mainly in China and Japan.
Green tea is a type of tea that is made from Camellia sinensis leaves that have not undergone the same withering and oxidation process used to make oolong teas and black teas. Green tea originated in China, but its production and manufacture has spread to many other countries in Asia.
There are lots of green teas that you can buy, always buy organic and spend a little more money to get good quality green tea.
Healthiest?
Purported to be one of the healthiest beverages on the planet. Full of antioxidants and nutrients that have powerful effects on the body. These include improved brain function, fat loss, a lower risk of cancer and many other impressive benefits.
Free Radicals
Green tea is also packed full of sun-fighting agents. Too much sun exposure can increase your risk for skin cancer and quickly age your skin.
Healthy Clees
Green tea’s free radical-fighting catechins, EGCG, can reduce skin damage and prevent wrinkle formation. These powerful catechins have also been shown to revive dying skin cells and promote healthy new cells.
Making green tea is easy and it often bought in teabags. But it is suggested that the loose leaf tea is best.
