Aware of the harmful effects of chemical fertilizers and
pesticides, organic green tea has come to popularity, the world is
taking the natural ways of nourishment without any chemicals. Green tea
is widely produced and mainly consumed in China and Japan and is
recently gaining popularity in the U.S. where traditionally black tea is
taken. Green Tea has long been valued in China for its medicinal
properties useful in the maintenance of good health.
Green tea
undergoes minimum oxidation during processing, to preserve the quality
and natural elements of the fresh leaves. Green teas are plucked and
handmade during early spring seasons, after picking, the bright green
leaves are baked in the oven or steamed to preserve their freshness and
somewhat resembles the original tea leaf; the resulting green tea is
very rich in nutrients and minerals.
Organic Green tea refreshes
the body with its high Vitamin B content that helps the human body
better deal with stress, and release more energy and can help restrain
the growth of various bacteria that can cause diseases. It is not only
rich in Vitamin C but also low in caffeine. Green tea has a lively,
herbaceous flavor. Chinese Green Teas are prized for their sweet,
herbaceous and refreshing taste. Japanese green teas more have a
vegetable flavor, like freshly cut grass. Most Japanese green teas are
fragrant, with a deep green color and beautifully shaped leaves. A
special processing style contributes to the distinctiveness of Japanese
teas: after picking, the leaves are immediately steamed and then air
dried, to preserve their fragrance, color and flavor. These processing
techniques are sufficiently extraordinary for any pesticides to be
present in the end product.
Organic green tea can help reduce the
risks of Cancer, mainly by its highly significant antioxidant
properties. Antioxidants protect the cells from a natural process called
"oxidative stress". Although oxygen is vital for life, oxidation
produces free radicals that damage human cells. Antioxidants help our
body eliminate these harmful free radicals.
In fact a decrease in
the level of antioxidants is proportional to the increased risk from
cancer, heart attacks and other health disorders. Research shows that
antioxidants in tea may actually help fight cataract - one of the
primary causes of blindness globally.
Green tea contains
polyphenols which are powerful antioxidants. They favor those bacteria
that are beneficial to the human body while killing those that are
harmful.
Organic tea is subjected to the same intensive processing
methods as its non-organic counterparts. Consumers usually decide to
buy because production is carried out using sustainable farming
practices, specifically not allowing deforestation and also manufactured
using highly specialized techniques. Some consumers go by trust and
fair trade route, which gives them further benefits in terms of
assurance and quality that the workers working on the tea plantations
give. The tea plantation workers have been working with more improved
conditions, giving the tea leaves a better quality of aroma and reducing
any unhygienic non-organic procedures.
If you are looking for
alternatives to conventional teas, there are many varieties of organic
herbal teas now available also. Some of these have the added benefit of
possessing medicinal properties for example, peppermint teas to aid
indigestion, chamomile to soothe and relax.
Green Tea has been
receiving much attention lately. As a result, we now have many medical
reports and studies saying that Green Tea does contain many healthy and
healing properties and drinking Green Tea has been shown to provide the
human body with numerous health enhancing components. Green Tea contains
a very high value of "polyphenols" that have antioxidant properties
that are known to fight against cancer. Green tea has higher values of
medicinal properties than other teas, because of the special way in
which it is dried. Green Tea is organically grown and the traditional
drying techniques used prevent the tea from the negative effects of
fermentation.
