A good variety of green tea

Probably, green tea is the richest in varieties. If oolong, for example, were clustered in only two provinces in the south of China, and pu-erh is produced only in Yunnan, then green tea ranks first in terms of prevalence. And of course, when they say "Chinese tea", the first thing that comes to mind is green tea. What varieties of green tea are there today and which are the best?

Green tea varieties and non-varieties

Let's separate marketing first. Probably, for a person who is not immersed in tea, there is no difference between "Emerald spirals of spring" and "Dreams of a Geisha" in terms of the creativity of the name. At the same time, Bi Lo Chun "Emerald Spirals of Spring" is a varietal tea, and the dreams of sultans and geishas are marketing.

What does varietal tea mean? This is a tea grown from a special type of bush, in a certain region and produced according to its own technology. Everything is like with wine and vineyards. If one of these parameters does not correspond to the standard, then the tea does not have the right to be called by that name. So, tea Long Jing "Dragon Well" can be called only the tea that is obtained from the leaves from certain bushes grown in the province of Zhejiang. Tea grown from the same bushes, made in the same way, but not in another province.

Moreover, the state protects the names of teas on a geographical basis - Xi Hu Long Jing can only be tea that is grown on plantations near Lake Xi Hu. Long Jing grown elsewhere cannot be called Xi Hu. Why is everything so difficult? Because the climate and geography greatly affect the quality of tea, its taste. On the shore of the lake there are some conditions, in the mountains they are different, and on the plains there are still others, and all this creates different types of tea. Xi Hu is the tastiest and most expensive Long Jing, and therefore, under this name, a dishonest producer can sell tea for more than it costs.

And when you take ordinary sencha, which is harvested by hundreds of tons from industrial plantations and diluted with pieces of fruit and flavors, you get all the creative splendor that can be observed in some tea shops - the dreams and dreams of sultans, geishas, ​​dragons, monkeys, samurai, phoenixes and others. eastern fauna. Who exactly comes up with these names, we do not know.

Teas rolled into rings and balls are not varieties either. Usually this is all a way of increasing the cost of raw materials, marketers call it "improving consumer properties." The so-called "blooming" teas, when a flower appears from a ball in a glass, are not for drinking at all, but for admiring the process. I put it on the table like flowers - and you admire it. Initially, this was exactly the point, and drinking this tea is like taking a sip of water from a vase.

Green tea: tonic natural drink contains a huge amount of nutrients and helps to lose weight (the calorie content of unsweetened green tea is only 3-5 kcal per 100 grams)

Application of green tea

If green tea is not contraindicated for you, use it with pleasure for health improvement and weight loss. Next, we will tell you about the topics that interest you.

Slimming green tea

First, the drink helps to reduce the percentage of sugar in the blood, which means suppressing excessive hunger, which helps to stop overeating. Undoubtedly, this circumstance will create conditions for losing weight. For example, you can take a cup of unsweetened quality green tea half an hour before a meal. With this approach, you will eat much less and feel full from consuming small portions.

Secondly, due to the large amount of polyphenols in the composition of the drink, intense heat exchange is activated in the human body and fatty deposits are intensively burned. Scientists claim that consuming 3-6 cups of good green tea per day can burn 45% more fat than without the product.

Thirdly, the drink has a diuretic effect, so with regular and reasonable consumption of it, excess fluid is removed from the body. Traditionally, green tea is not combined with milk, but milk tea is often found in diets. If you dilute the drink with skim milk or add milk with 0.5% fat, then the diuretic effect is enhanced. By the way, this fact is important for women who want to protect themselves from leg edema.

Despite the indisputable benefits of green tea for health and weight loss, it should be clarified that the process of body shaping must be approached comprehensively, that is, one product alone cannot provide the desired effect. You need to adhere to the correct diet, not have bad habits and live an active life.

Green tea for nursing mothers

Women who have breastfed babies ask if green tea affects the quality and quantity of breast milk. Let's open this interesting question. Experts recommend taking a drink if you have a problem with poor milk production. Different types of tea are welcome, including green tea. It should be noted that we have before us a product that does not belong to lactogonic agents. In fact, green tea helps to relax the ducts of the mammary glands, which promotes more active movement of fluid through them. By the way, this effect can be achieved from other types of warm drinks.

Some breastfeeding moms like to add milk to green tea and this drink does not harm them, but it so happens that children prone to allergies develop digestive upsets.

Women should not use boiling water for brewing, its temperature should be around 80 degrees. It is better not to drink the drink on an empty stomach. In the absence of health problems, the daily allowance is 6 cups. Those nursing mothers who are diagnosed with gastritis, problems with the esophagus or stomach ulcers will have to give up green tea.

In some cases, due to the mother's consumption of a large amount of green tea, the child has increased excitability and sleep disturbances. In this case, you can resort to an alternative - drinking white tea, which contains much less caffeine.

Tea with high and low pressure

The effect of the drink on blood pressure is often discussed on the Internet. Some sources say green tea can help lower blood pressure. We believe that this effect is so insignificant that it is not worth positioning the drink as a remedy for hypertension. Here it is necessary to mention the fact that drinking quality green tea in a healthy person helps to reduce the risk of heart attack by as much as 40% and reduce the risk of hypertension by 65% ​​- this is assumed, but not yet proven by scientists.

So that you will not be bothered by the question anymore, green tea lowers or increases blood pressure and how it works, we will give a little explanation. To increase and stabilize pressure, a person should engage in an acceptable sport, often walk in the fresh air, regularly take a contrast shower, eat only healthy food, sleep for a long time, and consume very high-quality coffee and green tea.

It is believed that with the help of green tea it is possible to improve the quality of life of hypotonic patients, since caffeine normalizes the condition of the blood vessels and accelerates the heart rate. Thus, a person notes a short-term effect of a moderate increase in blood pressure. This method should not be used all the time, despite its effectiveness. Too much caffeine can have the opposite effect.

We believe that green tea itself should not be expected to normalize blood pressure. The product works under the condition of an integrated approach, coupled with other means. This is the only way green tea helps to strengthen blood vessels and the body as a whole, to normalize blood pressure and levels of bad cholesterol.

If you like green tea, then by all means purchase it in elite retail outlets and proven online stores, where quality is guaranteed. The fact is that today there are many fakes. A drink with moderate use and the absence of contraindications will certainly benefit the body. If you feel unwell, you need to see a doctor and find out if you can drink green tea and what can replace it.

In short, green tea is tea that undergoes slight fragmentation, or oxidation. That is, from one plant, or rather from its leaves and buds, during processing, you can get different types of drink.

Different types of manufacturing give the tea leaves a completely unique color, aroma and taste. The quality of tea is also influenced by factors such as the growing conditions of the bushes and the peculiarities of the assembly process.

Initially, in the culture of the countries of the East, green tea was in the first place in terms of consumption; it came to the West at the beginning of the twentieth century and gradually gained widespread use and popularity.

When brewing, you can observe how tea leaves "explode" under the influence of hot water, and this is a very interesting sight. The shape of the leaves of this tea allows it to be stored longer than all other varieties. In Asia, it is used daily, adding honey, sugar, lemon or mint to taste.

Bilochun translated means "Spring of the green snail". "Spring" - denotes the time at which tea leaves are harvested, green is the tea itself, and a snail is a type of tea leaves, originally twisted like a snail shell.

If this is not observed, it becomes unnecessarily tart and very bitter.

Huangshan Maofeng the first word in the name of this elite drink comes from the mountains where it is grown. Their peaks, covered with forest, resemble fluff, hence the second part of the name, which means "Fluffy Peaks" when translated.

Gyokuro. The literal translation means "Pearl Drop". This is a rather expensive type of tea that is harvested in early spring. A feature of its cultivation is that the bush is shaded twenty days before collection with the help of special devices. This allows you to reduce the amount of tannin in the tea, which gives it a bitter taste. Therefore, real gourmets in this tea will immediately appreciate the softness and sweetness with a fresh aroma.

By their appearance, tea leaves are like needles. It should be brewed correctly, with boiling water cooled to 60 degrees.

When collecting, shading is used, as well as for gekuro, but during manufacture the leaf is left in a straightened form, after which the veins and stems are removed and ground into the smallest powder. This processing method produces a highly concentrated beverage.

Georgian green tea

The first material for planting green tea was brought to Georgia in the 16th century.

There are about twenty trade varieties of the drink in this country. In terms of their taste, they can easily compete with their Chinese and Japanese counterparts. The most elite varieties of green Georgian tea are recognized as “Bouquet of Georgia», «Extra», №115 and №125.

Pressed tea in the form of bricks is also produced in Georgia. This form allows it to be stored and transported for a long time without losing its taste.
