ReplyDeleteI didn’t know the name of the plant which produces these kinds of tea, really, or maybe I had forgotten it. But, I know this plant, Camellia Sinensis, started to be cultivated in other tropical regions of the world in order to expand the traffic of tea; so, China is not the only country that produces tea anymore.
It happened because of tea worldwide spread,then many other countries have cultivated the plant. From camellia sinensis tea is born itself, and from there are taken the varieties mentioned above.
DeleteI read somewhere that green tea also increase your metabolism, which means that makes your body gets nutrients in a better way. I always like it because after drink it, I can feel myself a little bit relax.
ReplyDeleteI'm lactose intolerant and almost all the time I have troubles with my stomach, green tea had helped me to stop abdominal paint almost all the time. After reading your article I'm going to encourage my mom to drink it too, because she has arthritis problems.
And maybe that's the reason why asian people stay alive for so many time and in good conditions.
A cup of hot green tea is relaxing; a glass of ice green tea, with lemon, is refreshing, but to drink too much tea can be risky. A cup of green tea has as much as cafeine as a cup of coffee, and for people with high-blood-pressure desease can be dangerous. Doctors recomend to drink no more than 6 cups of tea per day. On the other hand, tea in general prevents the absortion of iron, that may cause anaemia. However, if you drink it moderately, I agree with you that it is a great berverage.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that you were such a devoted fan of green tea, just kidding. It's amazing how a beverage can change people's health and attitude towards life. I have the incorrect thought that green tea is for women only, but well after reading your explanations, maybe I'll give it a try one of these days.
