Green Tea Extremely: Tamayokucha
This incredible Japanese tea is steamed as it dries, yielding a sweet, light flavor with no bitterness. Like all high quality Japanese green teas, this tea is green, not brown.”Tama” means round.”(R) yokucha” means green tea – so “round green tea.” This extremely green tea is finished in the shade – it is covered for the last few weeks of growth to preserve the chlorophyll. This gives it a full and complex flavor. It is a “Gyokuro” style tea – the most sought-after of all Japanese green teas. One Reviewer described it as follow: “Tamayokucha is a delicious green tea. I was impressed by the flavorful, yet mild vegetal taste. I have steeped and enjoyed several cups of this tea, at times adding sweetener and at times playing around with steeping times.

GREEN TEA GIVES SKIN HEALTHY GLOW
-By Robert Preidt The skin-healing properties of green tea may help scientists develop new treatments for skin disease and wounds, say researchers at the Medical College of Georgia. Green tea contains compounds called polyphenols, which help eliminate free radicals. These free radicals can cause cancer by altering DNA. Polyphenols also protect healthy cells while promoting the death of cancer cells. Cell biologist Dr. Stephen Hsu recently began studying the most abundant green tea polyphenol, called EGCG, and its effect on skin cells. Hsu and his colleagues compared the growth of normal skin cells to those exposed to EGCG. They found the EGCG reactivated dying skin cells. “Cells that migrate toward the surface of the skin normally live about 28 days, and by day 20 they basically sit on the upper layer of the skin getting ready to die. But EGCG … Continue reading
The Green Tea Diet
Another reason to buy Green Tea… On a green tea weight loss diet study – Sixty obese middle-aged women were placed on a diet of 1,800 calories per day. Some of the women took green tea diet pills with breakfast, lunch, and dinner; the others took placebo pills. After two weeks on the green tea weight loss study, the women taking the diet pill had lost twice as much weight as the placebo group. Results were even more impressive after the full month of the trial; the green tea users had three times the weight loss of the women who were simply dieting. The right amount of caffeine is the secret to the diet success. Caffeine in green tea increases the body’s basal metabolic rate (the rate at which energy is used for the basic functions of breathing, pumping blood, … Continue reading
Making the Perfect Iced Tea
Two Leaves and a Bud brings you this perfect Iced tea recipe, as reported by NPR in 2002: A Foolproof Recipe for a Cool Glass of ‘Southern House Wine’ Iced tea has been called the “house wine of the South.” It’s a beverage as simple as a black tea bag and water, and as complex and exotic as Thai iced tea with evaporated milk and subtle spices. Fred Thompson is something of a beverage expert. The author has written two books on our traditional American refreshments, Lemonade and Iced Tea. NPR’s Susan Stamberg talked with Thompson at his vacation home in Myrtle Beach, S.C., about what makes the perfect glass of iced tea. His favorite, he tells Stamberg, is the classic Southern-style iced tea. from Ice Tea: There are as many ways to brew iced tea as there are Southern … Continue reading
