Green tea: properties and benefits
Green tea is one of the most appreciated varieties by all conneseurs of this drink. It is not just a trend, but a consumption habit destined to become part of tradition given the numerous beneficial properties it contains in the leaves of this tea.
BENEFITS OF GREEN TEA
There are many reasons why green tea should not be missing from our diet. First of all, it is a real mine of antioxidants, which counteract cellular aging and help prevent degenerative diseases and strengthen the immune system.
Among the other benefits of green tea, there is also the ability to control sugar and bad cholesterol levels in the blood, therefore effective in combating diabetes and protecting the heart.
GREEN TEA FOR WEIGHT LOSS
Green tea is often included in dietary diets, as it is able to activate the metabolism and reduce body weight. The slimming properties of green tea seem proven, but like any substance it should not be abused, one to two cups of green tea a day are enough to benefit from it!
BANCHA GREEN TEA
The Bancha variety of green tea, very widespread in Japan, is particularly valuable as it contains very little theine and a high quantity of polyphenols and vitamins: this makes it particularly energizing and remineralising, as well as well tolerated by everyone.
• Leighton offers pure Bancha tea to be tasted in infusion in the leaf format, so as not to lose the organoleptic properties, or in combination with cornflower petals and rose petals to savor it with the fresh scent of the flowers.
SENCHA GREEN TEA
Sencha tea, another Japanese variety, is considered by orientals to be one of the finest qualities of green tea, with a sweet taste. It is rich in beneficial properties thanks to the high concentration of vitamin C present in its leaves.
• Leighton offers Sencha green tea from organic farming to be tasted in a pyramidal or leaf filter, advising to consume it pure, without the addition of sugar because it is already naturally sweet.
GREEN TEA GUNPOWDER
Gunpowder Chinese green tea (literally "gunpowder", due to the shape taken by the rolled tea leaves) is the most widespread quality in China. The best known is Jasmine tea, a blend in which Gunpowder green tea is combined with jasmine flowers creating a particularly aromatic flavour.
• Green tea is also known for its detoxifying and diuretic properties. Green Detox by Leighton is a blend of green tea combined with Melissa, Verbena and Yerba Mate which, in addition to purifying the body, have anti-inflammatory and purifying properties.
Oasi's, always in step with the times, offers in its tea selections, filter and leaf, different qualities of green tea to be able to enjoy it pure or flavored with herbs or floral combinations.
