Regular Retail: $20.60Finally, 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.
