Sencha, the principal exported Japanese tea, naturally decaffeinated (CO2). When we cupped this tea next to the caffeine-bearing version, we actually preferred the taste of the caffeine-free version. Try it as a basic, every-day green tea. Also good when chilled.
Recommendations: Use 1 level tsp. per 6 oz. cup; heat fresh, cold water until steam rises (180° F); let steep for 1 min. Health Benefits: In traditional Chinese and Indian medicine, practitioners have used green tea as a stimulant, diuretic, digestion aid and astringent. Studies show that green tea has the ability to regulate blood glucose, density and lower risk heart disease. It is a rich source of the polyphenol EGCG, shown to provide protection against cancer, particularly colon, lung and skin cancers.
