Green tea Sencha

Green tea is made from the same plant (Camellia sinensis) as black tea. However, in green tea the tea leaves are not fermented, but gently steamed and dried.

Particularly interesting ingredients in green tea are catechins, a group of polyphenols that give the tea its bitter taste. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is particularly valued.

Not only coffee, but also green tea contains caffeine. A cup of green tea contains around 50mg of caffeine, more than enough to get you through the day with enough energy. The special thing about the caffeine in green tea is that it is bound by so-called tannins and therefore takes effect more slowly than in coffee. Green tea powder is therefore not only useful in everyday life, but is also an ideal supplement for more energy during sport.

For centuries, it has been believed that the hot drink from Asia is beneficial for humans. The tannins, vitamin A and B vitamins, as well as the flavonoids it contains are particularly noteworthy.

Drinking 1-2 cups of green tea daily is certainly a step in the right direction. The advantage of the powder is its high concentration and the ease of regular consumption.
