Green Tea (decaffeinated)
Origins: Asia
(Camellia sinensis)
Originating in China, the amazing health benefits
from green tea have been known for centuries. One
of the reasons for such amazing health benefits is a
result of the way it is processed.
• Unlike other tea’s, during processing green tea is
not oxidized. The leaves are withered and steamed
immediately after harvesting. Once steamed, the
leaves are then rolled and dried allowing the leaves
to remain green in color. This process allows green
tea’s unique antioxidants to be more concentrated
• Green tea leaves are rich in antioxidants, in particular
for their epigallocatechin gallate (ECGC)
content. These critical nutrients play key roles in
healthy aging by sustaining cardiovascular health
and cognitive function
• The polypheholic catechins found in green tea are
known to be stronger than vitamin E fighting free
radicals
