Green Tea with Polyphenols
The history of green tea (Camellia sinensis) dates back thousands of years to ancient China. According to legend, in 2737 BC, Emperor Shen Nong accidentally discovered this delicious, refreshing beverage when a tea leaf drifted into his pot of hot water. It quickly gained popularity throughout the country and was later introduced to Japan by Buddhist monks.
By the Tang Dynasty (618–907), green tea had become a daily beverage in China. The art of tea drinking flourished during this era, and it earned a special place in Chinese culture. In Japan, it became popular in the 8th century, particularly through tea ceremonies associated with Zen Buddhism.
Green tea reached Europe in the 1600s, where it rapidly gained favor among the aristocracy. Today, it is a globally appreciated beverage known not only for its refreshing taste but also for its valued medicinal properties.
What makes green tea different from other teas?
Green tea is particularly rich in plant compounds called polyphenols. Unlike black or oolong teas, it does not go through a fermentation process, allowing it to retain these beneficial compounds. Among green tea polyphenols, the most important is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).
