• Mega-potent antioxidant
• Health optimising and anti-aging
• Pure and unblended whole-leaf form, Gaia Green Tea is undoubtedly the most versatile and efficacious natural health substance yet discovered.

From the rolling hills of the oldest tea plantations known to man, Chinese green tea, in its authentic traditional, non-oxidized whole-leaf form, has received scientific acclaim, rendering it a mega-potent anti-oxidant and an exceptionally diverse health-optimising and anti-aging beverage.

There are 3 different grades of green tea;  A-grade – Chinese, B-grade – Japanese,  and C-grade – Taiwanese.

Many nutrients are found in green tea

Vitamins: Quality green tea contains relatively high levels of nutrients, including organic forms of vitamins A, C, E, and K, beta-carotene, biotin, niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, and folic acid.

Minerals: calcium, magnesium, manganese phosphorus, potassium, zinc & in particular fluoride & germanium; plus polyphenols, including the antioxidant flavonols (catechins) & bioflavonoids, including kaempferol, rutin & quercetin & with biological activity superior to that of pycnogenol (pine) or grape seed proanthocyanidins, since the tea forms are performed anthocyanins, much as Vitamin A is performed, whereas beta-carotene (provitamin A) still has to be converted, both often unsuccessfully. The rare immune-modulating mineral, organic germanium, is 8 times more concentrated in green tea than in garlic, otherwise considered to be a good source.

Green Tea for Beauty:

This is testimony to Gaia’s pioneering and arguably visionary decision to use organic green tea in our personal care applications nearly 3 decades ago.

Researchers have now stated: “Green tea can be used as a natural ingredient with excellent physiological functions for the human skin through cosmetic or food composition” (An B et al, Am J Clin Med, 33(4), 2005).

Green Tea Beverage:

PREPARATION: Per cup: place one tea bag per cup and allow to steep.  Preferably, leave the bag in your cup.  Add two tea bags per pot of tea. For taste enhancement, cut a generous slice of raw ginger to enhance flavour.

For optimum health results and best taste, avoid sweetening or adding milk. The tea bags are plastic-free, oxygen bleached (as opposed to chlorine bleached),  as is the case with most commercial brands.

For an authentic experience, always use our whole-leaf green tea. There’s no need for a strainer, as each rolled leaf will expand to its full size when steeped in hot or boiling water. Don’t waste the spent leaves—utilize them in your garden or incorporate them into your cooking.

There is no other natural health substance or product anywhere in the world, known to be capable of competing for safety and efficacy, even regular commercial green tea, let alone our unique special ‘peasant-grown’, harvested and processed optimal health grade’. No medicinal claims are implied, but rather a broad review of the tremendous health-optimizing potential.
