| Product Description |
| Finally, an authentic Japanese green tea is now available in the U.S. Although the number of green teas introduced into the U.S. market has increased dramatically in the last several years, their quality varies widely and may be found wanting to those who desire the rich dark green tea used in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. When comparing other teas with a cup of authentic Japanese Shogun Imperial Green Tea one immediately notices the pale brown color of many of these "green teas" contrasted with the rich green color of Shogun Imperial Green Tea. The difference is striking and is due to the difference in their respective amounts of chlorophyll and catechins. The more chlorophyll and catechins, the greener the tea will be. Taste is the second difference between authentic Japanese tea and many other green teas on the market. Shogun Imperial Green Tea, while strong when chewed as a tablet, makes an excellent tasting cup of rich green tea when dissolved in hot water. The taste is due to the amount of beneficial components present in the tea, particularly the amount of catechins. |

 What does Blue-Green Algae do?Blue-green algae, of which spirulina is a well-known example, is a group of 1,500 species of microscopic aquatic plants. The two most common species used for human consumption are Spirulina maxima and Spirulina platensis. Spirulina is particularly rich in protein and also contains carotenoids, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids.1 Spirulina’s vitamin B12 content does not appear to be readily usable by people.2 Most health benefits to humans claimed for spirulina and other blue-green algae supplementation are supported by anecdotes rather than scientific research. Test tube and animal studies have demonstrated several properties of large amounts of spirulina or spirulina extracts, including antioxidant,3 antiviral,4 5 anticancer,6 7 8 9 anti-allergy,10 11 immune-enhancing,12 13 14 liver-protecting,15 16 17 blood vessel-relaxing,18 and blood lipid-lowering19 20 effects. A small, controlled study found that overweight people taking 8.4 grams per day of spirulina lost an average of three pounds in four weeks compared with one and a half pounds when taking placebo, though this difference was not statistically significant and no effects on blood pressure or serum cholesterol were observed.21 A later, controlled trial found a small cholesterol-lowering effect when 4.2 grams of spirulina per day were taken for eight weeks, but serum triglycerides, blood pressure, and body weight were unchanged.22 Read more on Blue-Green Algae > View References |
