PHYSIOLOGICAL BENEFITS OF GREEN TEA
In Japan, Green tea is offered to guests and is used in tea ceremonies but at the same time, it is a daily drink at home and in the office. It is suspected that Green tea was used in the ancient times. Today, green tea is the focus of scientific and clinical research, being noted as one of the most beneficial teas one could consume.

Protects Against Metabolic Syndrome
Obesity, high blood pressure, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia are risk factors for arteriosclerosis and heart attack, and occur together in metabolic syndrome. It is now known that green tea catechins reduce fat and fat around the internal organs.
Anti-Aging
A presentation at scientific conference showed that the catechins and vitamins found in green tea suppress free radicals and lipoperoxidation (which are considered factors in human aging) and therefore have anti-aging properties.
Protects Against Dementia
Memory-related neurons display reduced activity in persons suffering from Alzheimer-type cognitive impairment. Theanin contained in tea has been shown to promote secretion of nerve growth factor (NGF) and stimulate neuronal activity. In addition, research suggests that persons drinking two or more cups of green tea per day develop cognitive impairment at approximately half the rate of those who drink less.
Supplying Safe, Reliable Green Tea
All green tea produced in Japan meets the highest reliability standards through such measures as street adherence to proper labeling a product trace-ability system, and hygiene control.
