BBC News | Europe | Green tea beneficial in fight against cancer (#)
„Scientists in Sweden say they have discovered why green tea, a popular drink in China and Japan, has a protective effect against some forms of cancer. A report by researchers in Stockholm, published in the scientific journal 'Nature', says that a substance in green tea slows down or stops the growth of new blood vessels. A BBC science correspondent says that as cancer tumours are dependent on a constantly growing network of blood vessels to supply them with food and oxygen, they will shrink and may even disappear, if the network stops growing. He says its now clear why moderate consumption of green tea can be beneficial.“

An Introduction to the World of Tea (INeedCoffee.com)
„Green teas are not oxidized, but are formed into different shapes either by pan firing by hand (China) or by steaming (Japan). They are then sorted by size and quality into different grades, the higher grades having a fuller and more complex flavor, and often are able to be steeped more times than the lower grades. China produces the greatest number of these, including the chestnutty Long Ching (Dragon Well), the fruity and fragrant Pi Lo Chun (Green Snail Spring-- much better than it sounds, one of my favorites), the mild, lightly sweet Chun Mei (Precious Eyebrows), and the strong and smoky gunpowder, among hundreds of others.“

Transfair USA | Fair Trade News
„When a consumer in any of 17 countries--in Europe, North America, and Japan--buys a product with the fair-trade label, it means that the item was purchased from farmers in the developing world at an above-average price and in accordance with specific criteria set forth by Fairtrade Labeling Organizations International (FLO), a nongovernmental organization in Bonn, Germany. The consumer thus sometimes pays more for his product in the knowledge that the premium is improving living conditions in the Third World.“
