Health 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.

Beneficial Effects of Green Tea:

1. Catechins in green tea fights off influenza virus.
Add green tea to your diet to prevent flu. Studies show that green tea prevents flu, when consumed regularly. Green tea catechins do two things: prevent infection and inhibit growth and reproduction of viruses. And, green tea catechins protect against any type of flu virus. The flu vaccine each year just protects against that year's most prevalent flu type. In addition, many studies show green tea catechins have the ability to kill or prevent other viruses and bacteria, for example, Salmonella, food poisoning, Candida, etc.

2. Neutralize Free radicals
3. Prevent cancers

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 do you know about the source and quality of 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.

5. Is it true that milk negates green tea's antioxidants? Yes, it is true.

Scientific studies show that milk protein binds with Catechin molecules and make the antioxidants unavailable for the human body, when green tea is consumed with milk. However, plant protein doesn't cause this negative effect so soy milk/rice milk/almond milk are good choices to mix with green tea.

6. How much caffeine is there in Edible Green? About 1/10 of a cup of regular coffee.

Caffeine amount in 8 oz of tea and coffee:
Edible Green 9mg / Decaffeinated Edible Green <0.1mg /
Matcha 16-50 mg / Black Tea 40-60 mg /
Coffee 80-140 mg / Decaf Coffee 3-4 mg

Fact 1: The caffeine in 8 oz drink of regular Edible Green tea is about the same as in 1 bar of Hershey Chocolate (1.55oz), which also has 9 mg of caffeine.

Fact 2: Edible Green contains L-theanine, a relaxant. So it doesn't cause caffeine jitters; instead, Edible Green gives you alertness and relaxation at the same time, providing you steady energy.

Fact 3: Water processed decaffeinated Edible Green is available for those who shouldn't take caffeine for various reasons. Although the antioxidant power in decaf is about 1/3 of regular Edible Green, the flavor is as good and comforting as regular Edible Green. And you are still getting much more antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals than you would from brewed tea. Caffeine in decaf Edible Green is guaranteed lower than 1% of regular Edible Green.

Testimonials

"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!"
