Gaia’s pure Green Tea is undoubtedly the most versatile and efficacious natural health substance and the best quality green tea found in the market today.
Our loose green tea is in its pure, unblended, and original WHOLE-LEAF form, and is not blended with any other form of tea (the commercial brands may blend with black tea which renders a very bitter taste).
The leaf will swell to its original size – you do not need a strainer, just add about 5 dried leaves (a pinch) to a cup and add boiled water and see for yourself. Our green tea is placid in flavour (in fact, it doesn’t have much flavour), so add a generous chunk of raw ginger to your cup or pot and enjoy the great benefits of this superfood beverage.
From the rolling hills of the oldest tea plantations known to man, Chinese green tea, in its authentic traditional, non-oxidized whole-leaf form, has received scientific acclaim-rendering it as a mega-potent anti-oxidant and an exceptionally diverse health optimising anti-ageing beverage.
You get 3 different grades of green tea; A-grade Chinese, B-grade Japanese, C-grade Taiwanese.
Many nutrients are found in green tea
Vitamins: relatively high levels of nutrients in quality green tea include organic forms of vitamins A, C, E & K, beta-carotene, biotin, niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid & in particular folic acid.
Minerals: calcium, magnesium, manganese phosphorus, potassium, zinc & in particular fluoride & germanium; plus polyphenols, including the antioxidant flavonols (catechins) & bioflavonoids, including kaempferol, rutin & quercetin & with biological activity superior to that of pycnogenol (pine) or grape seed proanthocyanidins, since the tea forms are performed anthocyanins, much as Vitamin A is performed, whereas beta-carotene (provitamin A) still has to be converted, both often unsuccessfully. The rare immune-modulating mineral, organic germanium, is 8 times more concentrated in green tea than in garlic, otherwise considered to be a good source.
Green Tea for Beauty:
This is testimony to Gaia’s pioneering and arguably visionary decision to use organic green tea in our personal care applications nearly 3 decades ago.
Researchers have now stated: “Green tea can be used as a natural ingredient with excellent physiological functions for the human skin through cosmetic or food composition” (An B et al, Am J Clin Med, 33(4), 2005).
Green Tea Beverage:
PREPARATION: Per cup: 3-5 rolled leaves of loose-leaf tea into a cup and pour lightly boiled water into your cup and allow to settle. For a pot: Add 1 heaped teaspoon per pot brewed, allow to steep. For taste enhancement, cut a generous slice of raw ginger to enhance flavour. For optimum health results and best taste avoid sweetening or adding milk.
There is no other natural health substance or product anywhere in the world, known to be capable of competing for safety and efficacy, even regular commercial green tea, let alone our unique special ‘peasant grown, harvested and processed optimal health grade’. No medicinal claims are implied, but rather a broad review of the tremendous health-optimizing potential.
