ORGANIC TEA AT DISCOUNT PRICES!


*GREEN TEA* is very popular in every country and culture; originally it was produced in china. Green tea is one variety that maintains the original color of the tea leaves. The starting processing of green tea includes fixation, rolling and drying. Because the tea is skipping the fermentation during processing, *chlorophyll still remains in tea leaves*, which makes the green tea green in color.

Extra Premium Gyokuro


EXTRA PREMIUM ORGANIC GYOKURO - Gyokuro (??) is a fine and expensive type of green tea from Japan. Selected from a grade of green tea known as sencha (??), gyokuro's name refers to the pale green color of the infusion. Most of sencha is made by Yabukita variety, but Gyokuro is often made by specialized variety such as Asahi, Okumidori, Yamakai and Saemidori.

Merchants selling Japanese green tea will typically recommend a unique method for brewing gyokuro: twice the weight in dry tea leaves for a given quantity of water (e.g. 6 to 10 grams for 180 ml);cooler brewing temperatures (in the range of 50ºC-60ºC instead of 65ºC-75ºC for sencha, High-end Gyokuro such as National tea jury rank-in is at 40ºC);a longer steeping duration, at least for the first infusion (90 second instead of 1 minute. Since gyokuro steeps at such a mild temperature, sources may recommend pre-heating both the pot and cup to maintain the warmth of the tea as one drinks it. Drink Gyokuro very slowly to savor its distinctive flavor.

Though it is categorized as a type of sencha according to production methods, gyokuro cultivation differs from other sencha teas. Gyokuro tea leaves are covered up to be shielded from the sun for at least two weeks before being harvested. This causes the amino acids (Theanine) and caffeine in the tea leaves to increase, while catechin (the source of bitterness in tea) decreases, giving rise to a sweet flavor. The tea also gains a distinct aroma from the covering process. This type of cultivation is also used in producting Tencha, (??) but records indicate that this process had already been developed in the Azuchi-Momoyama period.

Gyokuro is one of the most expensive types of sencha available in Japan. The name comes from the product name given to the tea by the Yamamotoyama company. The tea was first discovered by Yamamotoyama's sixth owner, Yamamoto Kahei, in 1835 (Tenpo year 6). The process was completed by another manufacturer at the start of the Meiji period. Brew160-170F.

The character of stir-fry green tea is high fragrance and strong taste. Roast green tea: Fresh tea leaves are dried in a roast basket or roast chest. Usually the common finished products of roast green teas are used as material for flower-scented teas. Green Tea has medicinal properties, which are useful in the maintenance of good health. It has been stated in China that *it is better to drink Green Tea than take medicine.*

Recently green tea has been receiving much attention. As a result, we now have several green tea medical reports and studies by accredited institutions concluding that Green Tea contains many healthful and healing properties. Studies show that* Catechins Polyphenols*, the green tea type of antioxidants, are not as readily absorbed in the body in a non-acidic environment. It comes down to simple math and chemistry: less than 20 percent remain effective after digestion. Therefore, *adding Vitamin C* increased the effective levels of green tea antioxidants up to 13 fold. To achieve the most health benefits, we recommend lemon or better yet lychee fruit!

In other words, Green Tea provides *Polysaccharides,Flavonoids, Vitamin B complex, Vitamin C* (there is more vitamins "C" in one cup of green tea than in an orange), *Vitamin E, R-Amino Butyric Acid and Fluoride*** in its natural state. The natural health substances in fresh tea leaves are provided in green tea. Since ancient times, the Chinese have known about the medicinal benefits of green tea, and *they use it as medicine to treat theillness*. The conventional drying technique used with Green Tea prevents the tea from the negative effects of fermentation.

Green tea, has flavonoids and antioxidant properties that help to *prevent cell damage* that leads to a variety of cancers. Another benefit of Green Tea is that it can help *reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes* by improving the ability of blood vessels to relax and decreasing the likelihood of life threatening blood clots."A recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that those who drank about two cups of Green tea a day *cut their risk of heart attack in half* compared to those who didn't drink any at all." Green Tea has the highest medicinal value and the least caffeine content of all Chinese tea classes, except White Tea.
