Certified Organic Imperial Green Tea Complex

Green tea has been well-known to be helpful in the treatment of cancer due to its natural antioxidant epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which is the ester of epigallocatechin and gallic acid and a type of catechin.  Researches on green tea also show that the tea helps in the treatment of other diseases such as atherosclerosis, LDL cholesterol, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, liver disease, weight loss, neurodegenerative diseases, and even halitosis.  Furthermore, researches investigating the benefit of EGCG from green tea in the treatment of HIV infection are currently underway.

The Certified Organic Imperial Green Tea Complex or “Midori-No-Kogen” green tea powder is the highest grade of the green tea in Japan because a patented technique (Japan Patent # 1864713) is used to process the tea, which preserve all its nutraceuticals such as catechin, polyphenols, vitamins, antioxidants, and dietary fibers.

Comparing to other preparation methods that only extract about 15% of beneficial nutraceuticals since the tea is exposed to high temperature for a long time and chemical solvents are used to concentrate the tea, “Midori-No-Kogen” uses a unique technique that exposes the tea to a 120°C temperature for less than 1 second so as to evaporate 90% of the water and to inactivate the enzyme.  Subsequently, all beneficial nutraceuticals are preserved.

The tea has been tested by Nagoya Agricultural Technical Center for Organic Qualities and certified to exceed the European and United States standards for Organic Certification by the Tsukigase Municipal Government of Nara Prefecture Japan.  It should be noted that the Japan Royal Family has been using and consuming “Midori-No-Kogen” until today and hence it is named as “Imperial” Green Tea Complex.

Pre-boiled lukewarm water of 60 to 70°C temperature is required to “brew” a perfect cup of tea.  Add an adequate amount of “Midori-No-Kogen” as per your preference.  It is strongly recommended not to use boiling water to prepare the tea so as to consume all the preserved nutraceuticals of the tea.   Store the tea in a container and in a cool dry place such as refrigerator.  The tea can be used to flavour and dye foods such as mochi and soba noodles, green tea ice cream and a variety of wagashi (Japanese confectionery).
