Tea & Coffee 06/01 - Tea Drinkers Go Green (#)

„Lipton says that it is due to “worldwide consumer trends in health and stress awareness, and the desire for a more balanced lifestyle.” Whittard of Chelsea, who offer six varieties of green teas, tells customers that “green tea is the most natural of all teas, and still contains many of the natural ‘compounds’ which make tea such a healthy drink.” Twinings, whose range includes Pure Green Tea, Jasmine, Lotus, Green Earl Grey, and Gunpowder, says, “The appeal lies not only in their light, delicate and refreshing taste, but also because of the health benefits offered. Green teas are a natural source of antioxidants which help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals and are naturally lower in caffeine than most black teas.” Fiona Hunter of Taylors told me, “We are slowly waking up to the idea in Britain that tea - especially green tea - doesn’t just refresh and revive, but offers lots of health benefits too. The real increase in the popularity of green tea has been largely fuelled by reports that it’s incredibly good for you. Not only does green tea contain vitamins A, B, and C, it also contains polyphenols which are thought to boost the body’s immunity to disease.”“

„Mitscher and Dolby's main point is that scientific investigations, particularly during the past 10 to 15 years, support the healthful and medicinal value attributed to green tea. Studies specifically corroborating the book's arguments that green tea can help prevent certain types of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and dental caries appear among the 17 pages of references, many of them to topflight scientific and medical journals. That green tea helps mitigate the unpleasant effects of radiation and chemotherapy in the treatment of cancer is another revelation. A general history of tea offers enlivening relief from the large amount of hard information, and tables clarify such things as the amounts of caffeine and theophylline in various drinks (note to the chronically anxious: 125 cups of tea at one sitting constitutes a fatal dosage).“

Amazon.com: Books: The Book of Green Tea (#)

„I picked up this book because I was looking for a source of "recipes" for soaps and other bad items using green tea, and was pleasantly surprised to find it's a veritable encyclopedia of information on green tea. I was already fairly well-versed in the various "cultures" of green tea in China and Japan, and the author does a nice job of summarizing this for the reader, including not just various ways to prepare it, but also giving a quick primer on the needed utensils. Finally, the green tea ice cream recipe is a keeper (though I cut the number of egg yolks from 3 to 5, and leave out the lemon rind, nutmeg, and half the vanilla which overpower the delicate green tea flavor). Great all-around book on a product that's as healthy as it is enjoyable.“

„Unlike other kinds of tea, green teas do not take well to boiling water, but do best with water in the range of 175°-190°F. Japanese green teas tend to take water best 175°-180°F; China green teas tend to taste best at 185°-190°F. To brew green tea without a thermometer, pour the water just at the moment that bubbles begin to rise from the bottom of your kettle, or bring it to a boil first and then let it cool for two to three minutes before pouring. It's important to have a dedicated teapot for green teas, so as not to cloud the flavor with residue from steeping black tea.“

„The total antioxidant activities of different plant phenol- containing beverages have been compared. Using a method based on the ex vivo oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL), it has been shown that coffee has significantly more total antioxidant activity than either cocoa, green tea, black tea or herbal tea (10). Using the ABTS•+ method, it has been confirmed that coffee has a significantly greater total antioxidant activity in vitro than cola, beer, a variety of fruit juices, lemon ice tea or black tea (11). A study conducted in 2004 looked at dietary sources of antioxidants and found that the single greatest contributor to total antioxidant intake was coffee (12).“

„With the enzymes neutralized, rolling can proceed without developing black tea color and flavor. For many types of green tea, rolling is accomplished using the same type of machinery as is used with black tea, although with less pressure applied. For many of the finest green teas, rolling is done entirely by hand as an extension of the initial pan-heating, and can result in flat-leaf green teas, ball shapes, curled shapes, etc. The resulting shape is a part of the visual appreciation of the tea, and the methods used to achieve that shape in large part determine flavor.“

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.“

„In continuing studies of potential cancer-preventing compounds in green tea, researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio, examined the effect of epigallocatechin-3-gallate on cancerous skin, lymph, and prostate gland cells from humans and mice and on normal human skin cells. "We found that this particular compound, which is present in the amount of about 2 mg in a cup of green tea, can kill a variety of cancer cells through apoptosis without affecting the normal cells," said Hasan Mukhtar, PhD, professor of dermatology and senior author of the study in the December 17 Journal of the National Cancer Institute.“

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.“

Green Tea and Breast Cancer (#)

„When it comes to cancer treatment and prevention, it's the polyphenols that are important. Green tea has higher amounts of these chemicals than black tea because the fermentation process alters their composition. Of all the different polyphenols, one seems to stand out above the rest. EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) is a very powerful antioxidant and is believed to be an important player in the therapeutic qualities of green tea.“
