Tea has many forms, but the most common variant of tea is "green tea" is one of the least processed options that provide a healthier drinks.
Although green tea is most common in Western cultures adapted one called "black tea" After tea was introduced in the West in the 1800s.
Black tea
Black tea (at the same time, a very popular drink) is the most refined, and this is generally a lower quality.
Black tea can benefit health, but in reality, almost all the benefits that can be found in green tea are available in black tea, only in small quantities, which promotes decreases with the addition of milk.
In fact the last survey was completed this year has shown that (depending on the sample size is more than 4800 men and women over 65 years over 14 years) People who regularly consume tea is a smaller decrease of the functions cognitive (tea drinkers for a healthy brain in old age) compared with no consumption of tea.
As one of the most important comparison of the health differences between black and green tea, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) currently lists black tea as a category 3 carcinogen.
These days most people are aware that smoke and decaying organic particles may have a negative effect on cancer, but many people do not realize that black tea is produced by oxidation of tea leaves ( that is allowing them to rot for a period of time).
Although it has not been demonstrated in humans, black tea (in the form of injection concentrate) has been shown to cause cancer tumors in mice.
This is nothing to worry about, because the amount would have to spend it would be unreasonable compared to the injection of mice, but personal preference is important to me - if there is no risk of absconding.
Green tea, you do not always get what you pay at the supermarket.
Now what you should be aware that although a couple of pounds / dollars for 20 bags of green tea pieces can be expensive when compared with standard '160 black tea bags a few pounds / dollars ", you are mostly paying, and inferior product.
Some people may argue against that, but the most familiar brands of black tea that sell "green" tea bag form is to sell you an inferior product at an exorbitant price.
Many tea brand in supermarkets buy their Chinese green tea and minimize the price the quality is older and less used.
To add to this, black tea is mixed with a bulking agent, resulting in a tea coffee / yellow, sometimes with just a hint of green, or in other cases, a hint of what you expect " green "tea.
To get an idea of the quality difference trying to buy a pack of this stuff supermarket quality and how it is - it's like old grass mixed with the right of ordinary black tea?
Ok, now go ahead and buy a proper tea, preferably from a brand you can not find in stores. For a guarantee for higher grades, you want to search a Japanese tea shop and pay a price at least £ 4 * 100g (that's true, but even then you are more likely to pay £ 7 * 100 or more g higher grades with more flavor). * Or the equivalent in your currency.
Sencha is the most common type of tea in Japan and the personal experience I can vouch for the quality you get.
If you think you could buy green tea online (instead of buying at the store), then you should investigate Japanese Sencha.
Products of high quality green tea should result in a murky dark green color, fresh flavor and sweet aroma. If the result is a taste of yellow / brown / black, or too bitter to one of two things has happened:
Is the quality of tea is not good, or if you tried to brew green tea, as if it was black tea.
What is the difference? Of course, if both tea beer, then they would have the same right?
No, the taste of black tea that you can not really derive "ruin" If beer incorrectly, while green tea can easily ruin.
Differences in the brewery.
Brewing black tea would normally like this:
Boil the kettle
Put the tea bag in a cup
Pour boiling water over the bag
Serve with milk / sugar
Sencha is a good example of this session brewing green tea are:
Boil the kettle and leave for 30 seconds
Pour the water into your cup and let in 30 seconds
Remove the cups into the pot and leave for 30 seconds
Pour back into cup
Out of the water in the cups of 1 minute 30 seconds (up to 2 minutes and 30 seconds), add a teaspoon of Sencha tea in a cup
Add water to the cup and let stand for 1 minute to 3 minutes (premium Sencha can take as little as 40 seconds)
This does the following:
Preheat teapot and two cups of tea before starting a steep, that there are changes in temperature that would otherwise spoil the taste.
Cool the water temperature of boiling water blanch the leaves and cause yellow bitter tea.
In the first discovery of green tea bags (to be precise - Sencha tea bags) in a closet in my parents several years I have made many mistakes and false assumptions I mentioned that.
Although I would not recommend the store brand green tea is a good starting point for someone who has an interest, or someone that can not jump fast and need a "transition" to the taste of dark green.
Tea is one of the best drinks you can consume, especially if it is green tea, why you think this is the second most consumed beverage after water itself?
Why not give your body a treat and try a good Japanese green tea instead of gorging on soda and coffee.
