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.
Available in tablets (150 tablets per jar).
Nature's Ancient Green Tonic
Green tea has been enjoyed as a delicious health promoting beverage 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 relax and achieve clarity of
mind, to recover from the stresses of daily life, to enhance social gatherings,
and for plain enjoyment. Although many benefits of green tea consumption have
been known for millennia, recent scientific research has revealed 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, and dietary fiber, are insoluble in water. Whether one consumes
green tea made by the traditional way by mixing a powdered extract in hot water,
or by brewing tea bags, 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. In this manner, all the nutrients in the
original green tea leaves are made available for absorption and utilization
by the body. For added benefit, the tablets may be chewed for several minutes
to help clean the mouth, teeth and gums. Chewing the tablets helps 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 green tea products available
in the U.S. are either tea bags or extracts. Shogun Green Tea is a whole leaf
green tea supplement.
