Green tea has been receiving much attention lately. As a result, there are many medical reports and studies concluding that green tea has important healthful and healing properties. Drinking green tea has been shown to provide several health enhancing components, particularly catechin polyphenols that have antioxidant properties, thought to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and cancer. Green tea has levels of the polyphenols higher than other teas (oolong and black tea), because of the special way in which it is dried. This traditional drying technique protects the tea components from the effects of fermentation. Japanese green tea is steamed, which helps retain its original content. Green tea provides polysaccharides, flavonoids, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin E, and fluoride. The now widely recognized health benefits of green tea have been mentioned in many newspapers and journals including CNN (see sample report), USA Today, New York Times, China Daily News, Journal of the National Cancer Institute, and medical submissions from numerous universities and research centers.
