Next to water, tea is presently the most widely consumed beverage in the world. The three forms of tea, which are differentiated by processing method, are green, oolong, and black tea. Of these, green tea undergoes the least amount of processing, and it has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years. Green tea has become well known for its antioxidant, antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic effects. Other possible benefits include treatment of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, dermatological problems, obesity, and oral health problems.

Green Tea has been drunk by the Chinese for thousands of years in the belief that it provides a variety of health benefits. Over the last decades there has been a sizeable amount of evidence accumulated by western scientists to corroborate this tried and tested belief. Green Tea contains powerful anti-oxidants, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). This anti-oxidant inhibits the growth of cancerous cells and also kills them without damaging the healthy cells around them. EGCG has also been proven to be effective in lowering cholestral, as well as in preventing blood clots from forming. It has been found to be over twice as effective an anti-oxident as the molecularly similar Resveratrol.
To sum up, Green Tea has been linked by research to having properties which combat the following medical conditions :
• cancer
• rheumatoid arthritis
• high cholesterol levels
• cariovascular disease
• infection
• impaired immune function

Green Tea Leaves in Bulk – $7.51
Bulk Gunpowder Green Tea is the highest quality air-tight wrapped green tea leaves you can buy. The tea leaves are specially rolled which not only gives the tea its name (an English clerk once mistook the leaves for gunpowder) but also helps ensure the leaves retain their freshness, as well as bringing flavour to the surface.
