Green Tea is an unfermented variety and has the most natural flavors, closely matching the leaf in an unprocessed state. Green teas have a subtle, more astringent flavor than black teas. Green tea’s flavor ranges from floral to grassy. Green teas are often used as an aid with weight loss, being that they are known to increase metabolism.The addition of jasmine or other scents can help round out the flavors.
Steady Your Blood Pressure
Having healthy blood pressure - meaning below 120/80 - is one thing. Keeping it that way is quite another. But people who sip just half a cup a day are almost 50 percent less likely to wind up with hypertension than non-drinkers. Credit goes to the polyphenols again (especially one known as ECGC). They help keep blood vessels from contracting and raising blood pressure.
Lose Weight
Oh yeah, one more thing. Turns out that loose leaf green tea speeds up your body's calorie-burning process. In the every-little-bit-counts department, this is good news!
Cut Your Cancer Risk
Several polyphenols - the potent antioxidants loose leaf green tea is famous for - seem to help keep cancer cells from gaining a foothold in the body, by discouraging their growth and then squelching the creation of new blood vessels that tumors need to thrive. Study after study has found that people who regularly drink green tea reduce their risk of breast, stomach, esophagus, colon, and/or prostate cancer.
Soothe Your Skin
Got a cut, scrape, or bite, and a little leftover loose leaf green tea? Soak a cotton pad in it. Green tea is a natural antiseptic that relieves itching and swelling. Try it on inflamed breakouts and blemishes, sunburns, even puffy eyelids. And that's not all. In the lab, green tea helps block sun-triggered skin cancer, whether you drink it or apply it directly to the skin - which is why you're seeing green tea in more and more sunscreens and moisturizers.
Protect Your Memory
Loose leaf green tea may also keep the brain from turning fuzzy. Getting-up-there adults who drink at least two cups a day are half as likely to develop cognitive problems as those who drink less. Why? It appears that the tea's big dose of antioxidants fights the free-radical damage to brain nerves seen in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Stay Young
The younger and healthier your arteries are, the younger and healthier you are. So fight plaque build-up in your blood vessels, which ups the risk of heart disease and stroke, adds years to your biological age (or RealAge), and saps your energy too. How much green tea does this vital job take? About 10 ounces a day, which also deters your body from absorbing artery-clogging fat and cholesterol.
