A specially produced health blend for those who need to maximize their intake of the active ingredient in green tea: Catechin and/or to deal with specific health conditions. Green Tea contains four main catechin substances: EC, ECg, EGC and EGCg. Tannin in green tea is mostly catechin and forms a key component of its actual astringent taste. This is a strong tea. A 40g bag should make 80 cups (e.g half a gram per cup). Research shows Catechin and polyphenols to be powerful anti-allergens.

This tea is produced under ISO 14001 Certified Environmental Management Standards. Japanese steamed green tea's have traditionally high antioxidant levels.

Hot Tea:
- Boil water, let cool to 200F
- Use approx. 2/3 - 1 tsp of powder per cup
- Pour water directly on powder
- To re-infuse use higher temperature/less time

Warning: In a minority of individuals, high doses of catechin may cause allergic reactions. Consult a physician before drinking if you have allergies to catechin-rich foods like red wine, dark chocolate (cocoa), cherries, apples & cranberries. This is a concentrated fresh catechin product.
