Benefits about Edible Green®
Ground Green Tea
|
Tea and Catechins:
Tea, both Green Tea and Black Tea, is produced
from the leaves of Camellia Sinensis. The fermentation
and finishing process makes the unique flavor
and nutrition in each type of tea. Green Tea
is not fermented at all. Black Tea is nearly
completely fermented. “Catechins” are the most
prominent antioxidants and the reason Green
Tea has been in the center of scientists’ attention.

| Frequently
Asked Questions
|
|
| 1.
Is Edible Green® the same as Matcha / Macha?
No.
|
Matcha
/ Macha is also green tea powder, which is traditionally
used in the tea ceremony. It is made by grinding
Tencha-leaves, which are grown under cover.
This process increases caffeine and decreases
Catechins in the leaves. Although Edible Green
has a very similar appearance to Matcha / Macha,
Edible Green is made from Sencha, which is the
most popular type of tea in Japan, and has less
caffeine and more Catechins than Matcha / Macha.
|
| 2.
The first cup tasted so good. I want another
cup. How much and how often can I enjoy?
Feel free to enjoy Edible Green anytime, anywhere,
at snack time, meal time, as well as tea time.
|
For
example, Edible Green sprinkled on cereal
is a good way to start the day. Enjoy a cup
or two of heart warming flavorful tea for a
break. Sprinkle Edible Green over popcorn for
a light snack. Mix up Edible Green in your baked
potato at dinner time.
Regualr Edible Green contains caffeine—the amount
of caffeine in green tea is about 1/10 of coffee.
The powerful antioxidants in Edible Green,
like all beneficial substances, should be used
in moderation as a part of a balanced diet.
|
| 3.
Would it be the same if I grind loose tea or
tea leaves from tea bags?
Probably not. |
| What

the tea leaves you would grind? Note that Edible
Green is grown exclusively by a certified farmer
and processed by certified experts. Edible Green
is organic certified by the Ministry of Agriculture,
Forestry and Fisheries of Japan. It is packed
in a safe, clean environment under strict quality
control in Japan, and imported by Sei Mee Tea
LLC. Please note: Edible Green Decaffeinated
is not certified organic, but it is decaffeinated
by water method and ground from 100% genuine
"Sencha" green tea leaves grown in
Japan. |
| 4.
It doesn’t dissolve. Is it supposed to be dissolved?
No, it doesn’t completely dissolve like a sugar.
|
Edible
Green is 100% whole leaf. No chemical treatment.
It is natural Edible Green doesn’t completely
dissolve. However, the leaves are ground to
a very fine powder—like flour. Gently sway the
cup to maintain suspension and enjoy the smooth,
rich flavor of Edible Green to the last drop.

"I
have comments about your tea which is that it
is awesome! I found your product at a Holiday
Bazaar in Oregon at the Convention Center. I
was visiting a friend in November and we went
there. It was the very last booth that I stopped
at for the day and I was sold! I drink tea everyday
of my life before bed and I enjoy going to high
tea at different resorts in my area. Just open
my tea cabinet and there are thirty different
ones ready to fall out at you!
What I love about your tea is that I have a
very stressful management position with my comapny
and a cup of green tea in the afternoon really
helps me out with overall feeling better. I
will add your green tea to any flavor of tea
I already have as well. I keep a canister at
the office and one at home. Not only do I drink
it hot and or with other flavored teas, but
I just put it in bottled water, shake and go!
I have also shared your tea with many friends
and family. I will be giving the gift of green
tea from now on!
Lastly, I am forty three years young and I hope
that the benefits from your tea shines through
in giving me a more youthful feeling and appearance.
:) It sure feels like it!"
Pamela,
Cave Creek, AZ
"I
tried your tea at the holiday gift show at the
expo center. I can't stop thinking about it
whenever I drink my tea bag tea. Please send
me some. Thanks."
J. Harriosn, Portland, OR
"Thanks! I love the tea. It's so EASY to put
a scoop here and a scoop there! :-)"
L. Christopher, Hobart, WA
"Just wanted to let you know that I received
the tea on Monday! Thanks so much for getting
it out so quickly. Love it...it is very tasty!
Thanks again!"

Edible Green changed my life. I feel so
good.
Sharon
N., Joseph, Oregon
I drink Edible
Green at least a cup a day. I make a bunch
of muffin batter with Edible Green and keep
it ready to bake. The taste is so subtle, and
my husband doesn’t notice.

When my throat
starts to get itchy, I take Edible Green,
