History of Green Tea:

Green tea
has become a thirty-year "overnight success," and is now taking the scientific community by storm. With well over 1,500 studies in print in the scientific literature since 1963, the pace of discovery has been heating up over even the last couple of years, with dozens of groundbreaking studies appearing in the journals.
This popular beverage, second in consumption only to water around the globe, is potent medicine. The herb, Camellia sinensis, is a relative of the common flowering garden camellia. When the leaves are picked, lightly steamed, and allowed to dry naturally, green tea is the result. The more flavorful black tea, popular in this country, is made by allowing the leaves to ferment before drying. This fermentation (oxidation) destroys some of the leaf's beneficial chemicals, so green tea is richer in the health giving nutrients that are making this herb famous.
This herb has a wide range of applications in food and medicine. First and foremost, green tea fights free radicals, the chemicals now thought to be the most important cause of cell damage and aging.
