Green Tea Leaf Cut
Green Tea or Camellia sinensis, Theaceae, has been under long term study. This herb when made into a tea is one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world, second only to water. Most (over two thirds) of the Chinese population consumes it daily. In various parts of Asia, mainly China, India, and Japan, tea drinking has become a central part of the culture. Tea ceremonies are oftentimes considered sacred. Furthermore, many Americans consume this beverage. Green, Black and oolong teas all originate from the same plant, Camellia sinensis. The difference between the three exists in the way in which the herb is processed. Green tea is simply the dried leaves of the plant. Black and oolong teas are fermented or processed. The more any food or herb is processed the more of a detrimental effect it has on our health. With this knowledge, you can choose for yourselves, which is healthier for the body. UPC: 084783006145.
