 Tea without exaggeration be called the most popular drink in the world. In ancient China, tea is called "fire of life", which strengthens the body and spirit. Its leaves contain more than 300 different mineral components such as caffeine, tannin, essential oils, vitamins, macro- and microelements.
Useful and black and green and red teas, though they operate in different ways. The color of the tea does not depend on his grades, and from the fermentation process (processing) of tea leaves, and this is what determines the ultimate way of brewing tea, and, and composition, and its impact on our body.
High-quality green tea is almost exclusively produced in China and Japan. He was much inferior to green teas grown in Ceylon, Java, India. And, behold, a black tea is the opposite - the best grown in India and Ceylon.
Black tea has a pronounced warming, tonic effect. The caffeine content in it is quite large, but it is extracted into the drink last longer than from coffee and also lasts longer than its stimulating effect.
Green tea has become a popular relatively recently in our country, and now increases the number of its adherents, especially among the ladies, because this amazing drink can rightly be called the elixir of health and youth. A process of manufacturing a green tea chain saves natural therapeutic biologically active agents fresh leaves so that they can be released into the cup of tea during brewing.
Judge for yourself: in one gram of dry leaf green tea contains an average of 17, 8 mg of potassium, 4, 7 mg of calcium; 0, 3 mg of iron; 2 mg magnesium. A more vitamins - C, B, P and PP. By the way, the entire daily intake of these vitamins (P and PP) contains just three cups of green tea. More useful remark - if you leave the brewed green tea for a few days, the vitamins, of course, because it will disappear, but it will acquire useful antibacterial properties - in such a good tea to wash the inflamed eye, use it as a lotion.
Five years have been researching and Chinese scientists have proved that intuitively already knew many fans of green tea - it actually promotes weight loss. Traditionally it is believed that green tea reduces appetite. Indeed, cup of green tea can give the feeling of satiety, and after a light salad and a cup of green drink you will not want to supplements in the form of burgers or sweet cake.
But the effect of weight loss is due not only to a decrease in appetite.
In any grade of green tea contain polyphenols, and they contribute to the breakdown of fat. Most of these substances in grade oolong. The properties it occupies a middle position between red and green tea. A few cups of this drink per day - about a month and a few kilograms were missing! Well, if you spend a couple of weeks at a moderate diet, supplying the body and protein and all the necessary vitamins, a variety of menu fruits and vegetables, and at least 5 times a day enjoying a classic green tea, the pleasant flexibility in the body and the harmony of the spring provided to you .
A method of brewing green tea is somewhat different from our usual ritual with black tea. A boiling water, let stand for one minute and then just pour the tea it: because the water is a little cool, it opens a subtle flavor to the full. Water for brewing should be clean and soft, or taste can be completely distorted. After brewing, the color of a drink can take colors ranging from light green to dark is quite rich green or yellow-green. The quality of the tea bags in single paper is significantly lower than in bursts. The reason is that during grinding of dry leaves and packing them in breathable paper bags of the vitamins and minerals evaporates.
Green tea is not only fragrant and useful drink - and it is widely used for cosmetic purposes. For example, for tired eyes perfect packs or trays of tea with chamomile, mint, parsley.
Good soothing and anti-inflammatory effects have packs with parsley: mix chopped parsley with remaining after brewing tea, put this mush on the eyelids and under the eyes, cover with a damp gauze pad for 10-15 minutes. The mixture may add a teaspoon of sour cream. Then wash your face with lukewarm water.
A great refreshing effect and give the pieces of ice from green tea and mint. Wrapping them in gauze, gently rub the skin under the eyes in the direction from the outer to the inner corner.
Green tea is useful for our hair. Greasy hair rinse well the following composition: 2 tsp green tea brew 1 cup of boiling water, leave for 5-7 minutes, strain, add 30 grams. vodka and 1 teaspoon lemon juice, pour warm water to 1 liter and rinse hair after washing. Already two weeks of regular use of the rinse, you will notice that your hair silky and shiny.

Currently, the market appeared a lot of different varieties of tea, especially in specialized stores and departments - once it's hard to sort out all these romantic names, and they are not cheap. However, if you decided to grasp the complex science of tea, I would suggest to start with the most simple - ask for help from a consultant, and to start to buy very small amounts you liked to look at the variety.
Brew it by all the rules, that is well-heated porcelain and faience teapot, but in any case not a metal, observing the welding time is of that class. But there is a general rule: if large leaf tea, it is best not to insist less than five minutes, and small enough for four. And drink it fresh, slowly, enjoying and delving into its taste and aroma. It is not necessary to make tea for the future, for the whole day, and top up tea leaves with boiling water, and even more so - with cold water. The next time you select a different tea, and so gradually you will gain experience, knowledge, build up your own collection of favorite varieties, well, at the same time, as an additional result, you will improve your health and appearance.
