green tea. Region of Origin Japan.

This tea is one of the finest shaded varieties. Only the most delicate leaves of the first days of spring are used.

Gyokuro is one of the most sought after leaf teas in Japan.

The reason Gyokuro is so high in caffeine is because of its long shading process. The tea plant produces caffeine as a defense mechanism to ward off insects, and when the tea plant is shaded it actually produces more.

One of the key nutrients in gyokuro is EGCG or Epigallocatechin gallate. This antioxidant can help to improve the metabolic process. A faster metabolism leads to the quicker consumption of energy and calories, which can lead to fat loss overtime.

As a result, gyokuro tea can be a great addition to a balanced healthy diet and exercise, and help you achieve your fat loss and muscle gain goals faster.

The polyphenols within gyokuro, and other types of green teas, can improve dental health by preventing things like cavities and bad breath.

In addition to the polyphenols, gyokuro also contains flouride and minerals which appear to prevent tooth decay and other infections of the mouth. Studies on gyokuro tea health benefits have also shown a decrease in the development of gum disease and gingivitus for those who drink green tea.

As we mentioned before, there have been some impressive studies on the health benefits of gyokuro when it comes to dental hygiene, but this appears to apply even to the prevention of oral cancer. Not only do the benefits of gyokuro extend to oral cancer, but also other types of cancer such as bladder cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, ovary cancer and pancreatic cancer.

Like other benefits of gyokuro, this comes down to the presence of EGCG, the main antioxidant in Gyokuro. These antioxidants can have many benefits to the body, this is simply one of them.

It reduces the inflammation in the digestional tract, but this reduction in inflammation applies throughout the body as well.

According to a study out of the tea science center at the university of Shizuoka, the Epigallocatechin gallate in green tea has been demonstrated to have anti inflammatory effects. The findings indicate that green tea and EGCG can suppress the gene/protein expression of inflammatory cytokines and inflammation-related enzymes.

Among the gyokuro green tea health benefits most talked about, the vitamin C and polyphenols are some of the most talked about. These of course also have implications on the immune system.

According to a study at Harvard medical school that is pertinent to gyokuro green tea health benefits, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), has been shown consistently to benefit the healthy functioning of several body systems. Apparently, green tea can not only strengthen the immune response, but also modulate it. The study goes on to state that In the immune system specifically, accumulating evidence has revealed an immunomodulating effect of green tea/EGCG.

It is hard to overstress the benefits of the antioxidant EGCG. This seems to be the culprit behind a lot of the promising research on gyokuro green tea health benefits. Antioxidants are something health nuts can’t get enough of, and rather than eating handfuls of pomegranate seeds, why not drink a few cups of Gyokuro in the morning? In addition to creating a nice calming morning routine, it can also be a good source of antioxidants to your diet.
