The Story of Tea...

According to Chinese legend, the story of tea began in 2737 BC. Emperor Shen Nung, who was known as the "Divine Healer", always boiled his water before drinking it. He had observed that those who boiled their water had better health. One afternoon, as he knelt before his boiling water, some leaves from a nearby tree blew into the water. The Emperor noted a delightful aroma and, upon sipping the beverage, proclaimed it heaven sent. Since this first cup of green tea almost five thousand years ago, the popularity of tea has grown to the point that it is now the second most consumed beverage in the world. Only water is more popular. Shortly after Emperor Shen Nung's discovery, tea's popularity spread to Japan and the rest of the Far East. The Dutch first brought tea from China to Europe and America by 1650. In 1669, the East India Company began bringing tea leaves to England, and in 1721, the company was granted a monopoly on all tea imported into the British Empire. Initially, tea was very expensive and available only for royalty and the upper class. At the time, tea prices were $30 to $50 per pound.

Green tea 'may protect the heart'

Green tea has been linked with a series of health benefits Green tea could help protect against the damage caused by heart attacks and strokes, researchers suggest. A chemical found in the tea, which has been drunk for over 4,000 years, has been shown to reduce the amount of cell death which follows such trauma. Cell death leads to tissue death and even organ failure. Experts from the UK's Institute of Child Health carried out the study, published in the journal of the Federation of Experimental Biology. Green tea has, in the past, been associated with a reduced risk of coronary artery disease Belinda Linden, British Heart Foundation Green tea was frequently used in the past as fluid supply for patients suffering from infectious diseases, but recently researchers have begun to scientifically determine the health benefits of green tea.

Caffeine and Green tea?

Q:  How much caffeine is in a cup of green tea?

A:  An 8-oz. cup of green tea contains about 25-30 mg of caffeine. Black tea has about twice as much caffeine as green tea, weighing in at about 40mg, while drip coffee has a nerve-jangling 100-120mg. Although some people who are caffeine-sensitive may find that drinking green tea (especially in large amounts) keeps them awake at night, most people don't have this problem. That may be because green tea also contains theanine, a natural tranquilizer that counteracts the stimulating effects of caffeine.

Green Tea and Caffeine

Ever since 8th century Buddhist monks discovered that it could help them stay awake during marathon meditation sessions, tea has been used to increase energy, brighten the mood and refresh the mind. The invigorating effects of tea are due to caffeine, a central nervous system stimulant that fights sleepiness, speeds up the heart rate, increases alertness, improves athletic endurance, assists in weight loss and may even heighten intellectual activity.

What in the World is an Antioxidant?

Okay, so by now you’ve undoubtedly heard about green tea’s wonderful antioxidant abilities, and how this particular quality helps it fight dangerous diseases like cancer and heart disease. But what is an antioxidant, anyway? And why would anything that’s anti-oxygen be good for you? Despite their name, antioxidants don’t work against oxygen. They work against a chemical reaction called oxidation, the same process that turns bananas black, rusts metal and makes oil rancid. Oxidation is the interaction between oxygen molecules and the substances they come in contact with. When that substance happens to be living tissue, damage and disease can occur. Oxidative damage, the harm caused by oxidation, is primarily caused by free radicals, highly reactive, unstable molecules that travel around the body wreaking havoc. Although free radicals can be generated by exposure to UV rays, toxins, cigarette smoke, microbes and other sources, the most common source is the oxygen molecule itself.

Green tea 'may keep HIV at bay'

Drinking green tea could help in the fight against HIV, research suggests. Scientists found a component called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) prevents HIV from binding to immune system cells by getting there first. Once EGCG has bound to immune system cells there is no room for HIV to take hold in its usual fashion.
However, experts said the joint UK and US work, which appears in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, was at a very preliminary stage. We suggest that it should be used in combination with conventional medicines to improve quality of life for those infected Professor Mike WilliamsonUniversity of Sheffield Researcher Professor Mike Williamson, of the University of Sheffield, said: "Our research shows that drinking green tea could reduce the risk of becoming infected by HIV, and could also slow down the spread of HIV.
