- General Information: Green tea is made from Camellia sinensis leaves and buds that have not undergone the same withering and oxidation process used to make oolong teas and black teas. It originated in China but has become popular worldwide due to its health benefits and refreshing taste.
- Medicinal Use: Green tea is rich in antioxidants, particularly catechins such as EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which have been linked to various health benefits. These include improved brain function, fat loss, a lower risk of cancer, and improved dental health. Drinking green tea regularly may also help reduce the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
- How to Use: To prepare green tea, heat water to around 175°F (80°C) - 185°F (85°C) (not boiling). Pour the hot water over green tea leaves or a tea bag in a cup or teapot. Let it steep for 1 to 3 minutes, depending on your preference and the type of green tea. Then, remove the leaves or bag and enjoy your tea plain or with a slice of lemon or a bit of honey.
Shelf Life: Store in a cool dry place for up to 24 months. It is ok to refrigerate.
Origin: E.U.
