Green Tea

Green tea has risen in popularity over the past decade and is now one of the most consumed types of tea in the world. It has exceptional nutritional and health benefits.

In addition to its cancer fighting properties, green tea is also thought to improve cardiovascular health, lower LDL cholesterol levels, and to be effective for weight loss, because of its ability to boost the metabolism without dangerous side effects.

All of these benefits can be traced back to the high concentration of antioxidants contained in green tea. Because green tea leaves are one of the least processed types of tea, and is unfermented, it has a higher concentration of antioxidants than others like black tea.

Antioxidants are thought to slow or prevent the growth of cancer cells in the body, so the higher level of antioxidants in green tea potentially makes it more powerful.

There are many different types of green tea made around the world, like sencha, genmaicha, and tencha. Nearly all of the tea grown in Japan is green tea.
