About Green Tea

Green Tea Benefits

Green tea contains the powerful anti oxidant epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is said to kill cancer cells without harming healthy tissue, lowers cholesterol and helps to prevent heart attacks and strokes. Green tea can stop tooth decay because it has bacteria destroying properties and help prevent food poisoning.

Green Tea Diet

Many studies also show that green tea enhances fat oxidation and increases thermogenesis (the rate your body burns calories). This is great news for people wanting to shed a few pounds. Green tea alone will not make you lose weight but a healthy diet and regular exercises added to the green tea should do the job. Green tea extract is added to many products in order to put the benefits of green tea to the product.

As with any product, be sure to do your homework. There are many imitations out there and you may be getting a far less quality of tea when you purchase it. Products with added green tea nutrients may not be what they seem either. The FDA recently cited Canada Dry Ginger Ale and Lipton Green Tea for falsely stating that the drink is enhanced with 200 mg of antioxidants from green tea and vitamin C. According to FDA regulations, the ingredients in Canada Dry's product are not nutrients with recognized antioxidant activity. (Source: mercurynews.com)

Dragon Well Green Tea or Longjing tea is considered to be the best green tea of the highest quality. There are many varieties of Dragon Well Tea including Xi Hu Longjing, Bird's Tongue Longjing, Pre-Qingming Longjing, Mei Jia Wu Longjing, and Bai Longjing. The Xi Hu Longjing is the most famous and it is grown in the Zhejiang Province near Xi Hu Lake.
