Green Tea - Scam or expensive elixir of longer life

Have you ever wondered why green tea costs about $ 2 for a pack of 25 tea bags, but with good old common or garden black tea, you can get three bags for under $ 200!

See, like most of the tea) comes from the same tea plant (Camellia sinensis, is there a good reason or is it some scam dreamed only of a marketing genius in a back room somewhere (wearing a fat big smile!).

But green tea is one of thesewide and powerful range of interpretation of health-inducing properties, and indeed the reputation of a cure for cancer, heart disease, high cholesterol and many other adverse symptoms. Thus, as is the variety of black tea seems to have none of that property, and also has a high caffeine content, although all the tea) is (sic on the same plant?

Now, after Sri Lanka and the cost almost directly from the plant to a tea plantation, I am awarethat the content and flavor of the tea directly to the health treatment takes place, which, in the first cup.

Well, the answer is in the process to be used to produce tea. Black tea is fermented before it is processed first, while green tea is not. It is harvested and then dried, a process that is much shorter, which is equivalent to Green tea, a flavor of lighter black. More importantly, many of the beneficial chemicals tendremain intact, which gives green tea its amazing health actions.

Well, green tea is usually drunk alone, without milk and sugar, and for the uninitiated, the taste is nothing like black tea I think. That green tea is nice in itself, but burnt "taste", and must be acquired. Again, if you have or coffee on the search for healthy substitute for regular tea, may be included in the sample only hot water or hot water with a slice of lemonbrew as a "wake up". Green tea, the first few bites the first time try to have a stronger, more pleasant flavor.

With specialty drinks like green tea, the method of brewing, extract the most consistent and best taste, needs a little tea bag 'that better controlled by the common garden or black. It is advisable to boil the kettle, wait a few minutes before pouring the water over the tea bag (one for each cup of china), then bring widespreadfor another three minutes.

How many cups of green tea per day are needed health care services to get all these magical day seems to be a little black 'art, with so-called "experts", all recommended 20-20 cups of tea per person.

My advice is that if you want to switch to a healthy beverage drinks instead of regular coffee or tea, go green tea, cups and drink only the same number as the old one. It does not hurt, andmay well know a force for good for your health well-being.
