Green Tea Powder And Its Health Benefits
Green tea powder is produced in Japan where it is used in the tea ceremony. This is a special and very significant social custom there.
Green tea powder is made by steaming and subsequently drying the leaves of a unique tea bush called gyokuro.
It is generally agreed that the best green tea in the world is produced in the Uji Tawara area of Japan.
Scientific studies have shown that those who regularly partake of green tea or green tea powder are calmer, have no digestive problems and experience improvement in memory power.
The Japanese Custom of Serving Green Tea
Serving tea in Japan is considered a very special custom which is done to honor important guests.
Great care is taken in the preparation of the green tea for this custom, any mistake would mean disrespect to the guest and shame on the hosts.
Initially only being used to make tea, the Japanese green tea industry now produces varieties that are used to make flavoring ingredients in many sweets.
These are found in Japanese as well as Western sweets.
Probably the most famous confectionary where green tea powder is used is in green tea ice cream, this is considered a delicacy all over the world.
Green tea powder is slightly bitter and it is best consumed with sweets or as sweetened tea.
Green tea powder is actually the source of many health benefits, it reduces free radicals in the body, reduces blood pressure, relaxes blood vessels and prevents heart attacks.
But the last and greatest benefit to many is the fact that this wonderful green tea powder also helps in reducing weight.
There are a lot of research studies conducted on the miraculous properties of the green tea powder and every day there are new findings in this regard.
It was already known that regular use of green tea (both in powder form and as tea) can help preventing cancer and inhibiting its progress.
A great additional discovery was that green tea powder was also found to be extremely potent against HIV.
However, it is too early now to say exactly how much it can help, but the studies are conclusively pointing towards a possible cure.
So if you don’t like the taste of green tea then there is always green tea powder to consider.
