~ Japanese Proverb
 
As One Ancient Herbalist said...
"Drink Motherwort Tea and live to be a source of grief to waiting heirs"
 

 
A+ For Tea
 
A little trivia first...
 
The oldest tea leaf...black tea dates back to china where it was first discovered almost 5,000 years ago!! 
During the years 618-906 AD ( the Tang Dynasty) tea became the national drink in China.

which are high in antioxidants.
Antioxidants protect your body from free radicals that damage your body...
Free radicals can lead to diseases, such as cancer, heart disease and other ailments that plaqe your body.
Antioxidants fight those bad nasty free radicals!!
 
Some Teas have more Antioxidants than other teas...

Next is oolong,
followed by black teas.

They will kill the bacteria that causes one to have bad breath...
 
Green Tea
 
Green Tea contains more catechin than other tea's...
Catechin is somewhat bitter in taste...which is why green tea is slightly more bitter than regular tea...
 
Green Tea is famous for being loaded with important antioxidants...
Green Tea is rich with Vitamin E and Vitamin C...
Vitamin E and C are great antioxidants!!!
Green Tea provides as much antioxidants as broccoli, tomatoes and spinach.
It is said that just 2 cups of Green Tea provides as much vitamins as 1 cup of orange juice....Not bad!!
 
Green Tea also has natural fluorine...
with this...it will help prevent cavities....

more likely to survive a heart attack...

If you are going through menopause....you need more vitamins and minerals..
Green tea will provide some of those essential nutrients for you....
 
To get the most out of green tea..drink several cups a day...4 or more....
 
You can also take green tea supplements...One is suppose to be equivalent to four cups of tea.
 
Quality Tea should have tea leaves that is more intact, with less breakage.
Fresh Green Tea should be a light green/light yellow. If green tea is more brownish...
the tea is probably not fresh and also not as healthy.
 
Be sure to read the ingredients when purchasing green tea...
Some companies may mix other tea leaves in with their green tea....
which will leave you with less green tea than you thought...
 
Many companies offer green tea with flavors....be sure to check them out!!
 
Always store your teas in a container or canister that is airtight...
 
Just a Note:
Green Tea has more caffeine than regular black tea...
So you may want to look for decaffeinated green tea and decaffeinated regular tea,
if you are cutting out the caffeine in your diet.
Yet it has much less caffeine than coffee....
Coffee averages 110 mg of caffeine per cup, compared to just
averaging just 50mg of caffeine in Teas...
 
Decaffeinated Tea contains less antioxidants for health...but it is still worth drinking!
 
Be Sure to visit the back issue...
 
 
Herbal Teas
 
Herbal Teas does not always contain actual tea leaves....
Commercially packaged ones may...check ingredients...
but often when one makes homemade herbal teas...
it is made from herbs alone...
 
Be Sure to look for Part 2 of this issue...
For more on Herbal Teas and the benefits of different herbs that go into herbal teas..
 

 
How to Brew Teas:
 
To reap all the benefits of Green Tea...Be sure to brew it properly!!
 
_________
 
Loose Green Tea:
 
Add 1 teaspoon of fresh green tea into a tea-ball steeper...
Add it to freshly-boiled water and let it steep for 5 minutes before you are ready to drink it...
Timing is very important when steeping!
Too short or long of a time will affect it's antioxidant properties....
_________
 
Green Tea is at its most potent when just brewed...So drink it up...
_________
 
Never re-use tea leaves or teabags...since it looses much of it's properties!!=
_________
 
Follow directions for steeping store brought Teabags
Directions are found on the package it was packaged in....
