Once we have read on the internet or on television that green tea or white tea in particular can help in preventing cancer and other diseases, we run our supermarket to buy a box of colors with the name "Green tea" and believe we are protected against cancer ... but the reality is not that.

  Are you really an anticancer properties?

  Not all green teas are recognized by the NCI as a preventative against cancer, depending on the amount of EGCG containing. A cup of tea should contain 710 micrograms / ml (approximately 7%) of EGCG for that you have the same effects as those used in the studies. Teas of low quality, poorly preserved or dried usually contain very low amounts of EGCG.

  Are you making a safe purchase?

 

It is important when buying a product, especially Internet, in this case green tea, white or otherwise, must inform us of where you come from, if you have international quality certificates (as the European regulation is more stringent than the china ) and if an organically grown without pesticides or fertilizers, must be explicitly stated on the website. Ing all of our production and meet all international quality standards: ISO 14001, CERES-CE, ISO 9001 and HACCP.

  Is this cool or dry the tea shop?

  The purchase of green tea is especially sensitive because it is a process without you (unlike the red you tea or black), and since they are short, you start to lose the properties and oxidation, the same way that makes a block split in half. Thus, you should buy the freshest possible and keep it completely closed in a bag without air.

  With a little more experience is easy to distinguish when green tea is brittle or flexible to check its freshness.

  Green tea highest quality because they can differentiate their leaves are young, thick and consistent. We can distinguish you from a green low quality teas because they are ill leaves many sizes, open, old, broken .. etc. In the event that these characteristics are evident, and we will talk about a very poor quality.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Distinguishing high-quality green tea

As we can see in the image, the green tea on the left of you is a very poor quality. Most of the leaves have different shapes, are broken, dry, brittle and with an off color. Ultimately you an old and dry.
When you have green leaves of many sizes indicates that comprises the remnants and leftovers from the last harvest of the plant (the cheaper, lower quality and very few properties).

In green tea on the right we see the opposite color of the leaf much alive, indicating the freshness of tea. A fleshy leaf, test its freshness. Denotes a uniform product selection to it.
If we could touch it, it would be much more soft that you on the left (dry).

  Obviously you like the one on the left is quite common to find in Europe or America, even at a good price, but you a green of such low quality in China, could not even sell. Ignoring of course, teas packed in bags, which we could not talk because we do not know even what is inside (...).
