MEMORIAL SLOAN KETTERING CANCER CENTER SAYS…
Green tea contains substances called polyphenols, which scientists think contribute to its anticancer activity. Laboratory studies of one polyphenol, catechin epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), show that it may interfere with several processes involved in cell replication, causing tumor cell death. It also might slow the formation of blood vessels around tumors.
Epigallocatechin (ECG), another polyphenol, stops leukemic cells from multiplying in laboratory studies. As an antioxidant, green tea may repair cell damage, but whether it can prevent cancer is uncertain. It is also unknown how it might help protect the heart, but it reduces LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and increases HDL (“good”) cholesterol.
Tannins present in green tea generally have antibacterial properties.
Great jasmine fragrance and delicate jasmine taste in a pleasantly astringent tea. Over steeping beyond a few minutes will make it bitter.
Pretty good jasmine green tea. Doesn't get bitter or strong. light jasmine flavor.
It is a great jasmine flavor and very nice when iced! I usually brew the tea and then pour it over ice and its so good
Good quality leaves that provide a medium strong flavored brew. Still good on the second brew . Does get a slight bitter flavor if over brewed as with any green tea.Overall better than most with a good amount of jasmine flavor.
