Green Tea 2oz

Camellia sinensis | Cognitive Focus · Cardiovascular Health · Metabolism · Antioxidant Protection

4,700 years ago, according to Chinese legend, Emperor Shen Nong was boiling water under a tree when leaves fell into his pot. He drank it. What followed was the longest-running human experiment in botanical medicine in history.

Today green tea is the most consumed beverage on earth after water. The science has finally caught up to what billions of people intuitively understood. The answer is EGCG — one of the most studied polyphenols in biomedical science, with antioxidant activity up to 100 times more powerful than vitamins C and E.*

Then there's L-theanine — an amino acid found almost exclusively in tea plants — that promotes alpha brain wave activity and relaxed alertness without drowsiness. The L-theanine and caffeine combination produces a cognitive state that no other beverage or supplement achieves — focused, calm, alert, and clear.*

Why Green Tea?

• Meta-analysis of 856,000+ participants: each additional cup per day associated with reduced cardiovascular mortality*
• EGCG antioxidant activity up to 100x more powerful than vitamins C and E for DNA protection*
• Meta-analysis of 17 RCTs: may support healthy fasting blood glucose, insulin, and insulin resistance markers*
• Multiple meta-analyses: may support healthy total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels*
• Cochrane review: may support healthy systolic and diastolic blood pressure*
• L-theanine + caffeine combination produces focused, calm alertness — clinically superior to caffeine alone*
• EGCG crosses the blood-brain barrier and supports neuroprotective processes*
• May support healthy metabolism and fat oxidation through thermogenic activity*
• May support oral health and healthy oral microbiome*
• May support healthy bone density*

How to Brew

1. Use water at 70–80°C (160–175°F) — NOT boiling. Boiling water destroys catechins and creates bitterness
2. Steep 2–3 minutes
3. Add lemon — vitamin C significantly enhances catechin absorption
4. Drink 2–3 cups daily; multiple infusions from the same leaves are encouraged

Traditional tip: The reason most people think they don't like green tea is that they've been brewing it wrong — in boiling water for too long. Proper temperature and time transforms the experience completely. Try it once properly.
