Green tea contains the following nutrients beneficial for your health.

Various effects of important substances contained in green tea
| Catechin | causes the astringency/bitterness of green tea. It has sterilizing power and regulates the intestinal action. Reduces the risks of food poisoning, cancer and other life-style related diseases. | Amino Acid (Theanine) | gives mellowness of the tea. Theanine is an amino acid found only in the leaves of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis). It moderates the effects of caffeine and reduces mental and physical stress to produce feelings of relaxation. Highest grade teas contain more amounts of this amino acid. | Caffeine | stimulates the central nervous system. It temporarily wards off fatigue and drowsines and restores alertness. Furthermore, it has a diuretic effect which leads to a constant elimination of toxic substances from the body. | Vitamin C | prevents colds and is effective in clearing the skin. Green tea contains about three times as much vitamin C as spinach. Moreover, vitamin C found in tea can tolerate more heat. | Vitamin A | moistens the skin and strengthens the respiratory and digestive systems. Tea contains ten times as much carotene (also called provitamin of vitamin A) found in carrots. | Vitamin E | anti-aging | Fluorine | also ingredient of toothpastes, prevents cavity. | Minerals | regulates metabolism. | Catechin | causes the astringency/bitterness of green tea.

The healthier the better!
Some of the health-beneficial nutrients found in tea leaves remain in the leaves after infusions as several of these substances are water insoluble.
The best way to enjoy the health benefits of green tea is to consume the used up leaves after the infusions, or to drink matcha.

Té verde, todos los días.
