Green tea

Green teas

Green tea has come a long and fascinating way before it found its way onto European tables. Its beneficial effects on mood and well-being were first discovered by the Chinese. Today, an infusion of weakly fermented leaves is drunk by people all over the world. They appreciate not only the taste, but also the wonderful health-promoting properties of green tea. Green tea is made from leaves that have undergone a minimal oxidation process. As a result, it contains much more minerals than even black tea. The infusion prepared from it also has a much more delicate taste and aroma, as well as a subtle color. There are different green teas. Their grades and types are distinguished on the basis of country of origin, growing conditions or season of harvest. Attention is also paid to the appearance of the leaves, as well as the color and taste of the infusion made from them. Although green tea first began to be brewed in China, it quickly spread to other parts of the world. For many years now, it has also been grown with great saying in Japan, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Sri Lanka or Kenya.

Properties of green tea

There's a reason why the Japanese enjoy the highest longevity in the world. In addition to a healthy diet, they are certainly helped by drinking up to 8 cups of green tea a day. The wonderful properties of this drink are confirmed by scientists themselves. During the brewing process, the tiny leaves release a host of valuable micronutrients and substances, including the three most important ones: theine, caffeine and polyphenols. It is these compounds that are responsible for the health-promoting effects of this drink. What does green tea help with? Systematic drinking of the brew made from it reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, makes the walls of blood vessels more flexible, prevents the onset of atherosclerosis and lowers the level of bad LDL cholesterol. Some scientific studies also show the positive effect of green tea on the prevention of cancer, especially cancer of the breast, stomach, pancreas, colon, rectum or esophagus. Green tea also aids weight loss and the fight against swelling and cellulite. It speeds up the metabolism and fat burning process, and cleanses the body of toxins, which in excess contribute to the formation of orange peel. Green tea is also recommended for people at risk of diabetes, as it helps maintain proper blood sugar levels. Green tea infusion also aids digestive processes and soothes any inflammation - for this reason it is recommended for people struggling with acne and other skin problems. Properly brewed green tea also has a great effect on the mind and nervous system: it facilitates concentration and aids memory.

How to brew green tea?

To extract the maximum flavor, aroma and health benefits from green tea leaves, you need to follow a few basic rules when preparing the infusion. First of all, never pour boiling water over the dried tea. Then the tea loses all its valuable properties. Depending on the species, the tea should be poured with water at a temperature between 60°C and 90°C. The water should be soft, non-chlorinated and calcium-free, preferably filtered. A teaspoon of dried tea is enough to brew one cup. Brewing green tea looks different depending on what effect we care about most. If we want the drink to stimulate us, we should brew the tea for a short time - a maximum of 2-3 minutes. A brew brewed for 4 minutes or more will have a relaxing effect on us. It will also have a much deeper, even slightly bitter, taste. Green tea can be safely brewed even several times - it does not lose its valuable qualities at all.
