Premium "Whole Leaf" Green Tea Tablets
Finally, an authentic
Japanese green tea is now available in the U.S. Although the
number of green teas introduced into the U.S. market has
increased dramatically in the last several years, their quality
varies widely and may be found wanting to those who desire the
rich dark green tea used in the traditional Japanese tea
ceremony. When comparing other teas with a cup of authentic
Japanese Shogun Imperial Green Tea one immediately notices the
pale brown color of many of these "green teas" contrasted with
the rich green color of Shogun Imperial Green Tea. The
difference is striking and is due to the difference in their
respective amounts of chlorophyll and catechins. The more
chlorophyll and catechins, the greener the tea will be. Taste is
the second difference between authentic Japanese tea and many
other green teas on the market. Shogun Imperial Green Tea, while
strong when chewed as a tablet, makes an excellent tasting cup
of rich green tea when dissolved in hot water. The taste is due
to the amount of beneficial components present in the tea,
particularly the amount of catechins.
Nature's Ancient Green
Tonic
Green tea has been enjoyed as a delicious beverage and
medicine in Asia for over 5,000 years. From ancient times to
present day, the Japanese have placed a high value on enjoying a
cup of green tea to achieve clarity of the mind, for relaxation
and to recover from the stresses of daily life, to enhance
social gatherings, and for plain taste enjoyment. Although many
health benefits of green tea consumption have been described for
millennia, a wealth of recent scientific research has revealed
many new and important potential benefits.
Eating Green Tea
Offers Even More Nutrition
More than half of the nutrients in
green tea such as beta-carotene, vitamin E, chlorophyll, dietary
fiber, are insoluble in water. Whether one consumes green tea
made by the traditional way by mixing a water-soluble powdered
extract mixed in hot water, or by brewing tea bags, many water
insoluble nutrients are not extracted into the water but remain
in the tea leaves. Shogun Imperial Green Tea is a chewable
tablet form of green tea that offers superior nutrition because
it contains a tablet form of very finely ground whole green tea
leaves tea that can be chewed or easily dissolved into hot
water. This way, all the nutrients in the original green tea
leaves are made available for absorption and utilization by the
body. For maximum effect, the tablets should be chewed for
several minutes to help clean the mouth, teeth and gums. Chewing
the tablets help clean the breath and the soft tablets allow
easy chewing even with dentures.
Highest Quality Green Tea
Shogun Green Tea is grown in the Shizuoka Province, located in
the mountainous region in central Japan where the weather is
mild year-around. The green tea plants are grown without
pesticides or herbicides, and harvested in the late summer when
catechin levels are at their highest. Soon after harvesting, the
leaves are processed with a patented method to ensure a 2-year
shelf life. Dr. Ohmura, a well-known research pharmacist in
Japan, is the developer of this special process that transforms
the whole green tea leaf into a soft chewable and nutritionally
superior green tea tablet. Most, if not all, green tea products
available in the U.S. are either tea bags or extracts. Shogun
Green Tea is a complete green tea.
