Question

Which readily available brand of green tea has the most antioxidants?

Answer 1

I would choose quality Japanese Green Tea and loose leaf over tea bags. The best Green Teas to look out for are:



Sencha – Green Tea most commonly drunk at home, famous and popular tea due to the perfect balance of sweet and bitter flavours.



Hojicha – Roasted Bancha Green Tea. This tea has a roasted rice aroma and contains less caffeine compared to other green teas. It has a mild taste with much less bitterness and is very easy to drink.



Gyokuro - This tea is an expensive type of tea which is grown in the shade of the sun to give it a naturally sweet aftertaste and soft aroma.

Answer 2

Buying sweetened Green Tea isn't really good . Aside from it containing to much sugar in it ,it has a lot of additives and other junk that takes away from the Green Tea itself . Making it less effective. I like to drink Gun Powder Green Tea its a little stronger but it's good. Also buying the Loose Leaf Green Tea is good too because you can make it as strong as you want. The Green Tea we buy in the U.S. is a lot weaker then it should be ,so buying loose leaf enables you to get that stronger effect that you want.

As for brand I like ZHEJIANG Green Tea .

Add veggies to baked merchandise. You'll never even taste this zucchini in these brownies or the sweet potato in these cookies.

Answer 6

Black, green and red teas derive their leaves from a warm-weather evergreen tree known as Camellia sinensis. The leaves from this tree contains polyphenols. Herbal tea is not derived from this leaf and so does not have this particular health-promoting properties. Indeed, most herbal teas in the market are NOT tea at all. They are only infusions made with herbs, flowers, roots, spices or other parts of some plants. The proper term for this type of beverage is "tisane". Therefore, read the labels properly. Although tisane does not contain as much polyphenols, it does promote other various health qualities such as relaxation and calming effects. another plus about herbal tea is that you can even use your own spices to make tea you dont have to go to the store and buy fancy tea bags i love making cinnamon tea or all spice tea!!! and remember guys NO sugar in your tea INSTEAD put honey in the tea honey is better for you and your body digest it better/ faster!!!

RE:

Which readily available brand of green tea has the most antioxidants?

I have Lipton Green Tea bags in the house and I have bottles of Sweet Leaf Organic Mint & Honey Green Tea. Of all the brands available at your local grocery store, which green tea has the most antioxidants?

Answer 10

Several pieces of advice:



(1) If you want the most antioxidants and the greatest health benefits, make sure to drink fresh-brewed tea, and not bottled tea. I run a tea website, and we have a page that explains why bottled tea is not as healthy...it's not just the added sugar, the antioxidants actually start breaking down after the tea is brewed, so fresh brewed tea (from a tea bag or loose-leaf tea) is much better:

(2) Some brands are better than others but it's pretty random. And there are few studies that have compared this. Also, it varies hugely from one tea to the next. This said, there is one particular study that I know of in which Stash teas tended to rank more highly than teas from other brands. Stash teas, in my opinion, also tend to be a notch up in quality from some of the other more mainstream brands (Lipton, Tetley, etc.) so I suspect that it's mainly just a function of slightly higher-quality tea. But like I said, it's just one study. You may find the section "Are some teas healthier than others" in this article useful:

The study cited which included the Stash teas is here:

(3) Honestly, consider loose-leaf tea. Really. It's hard to buy at the supermarket but it's soooo much better, fresher, and you're paying for the quality of the tea, not the packaging, so it's inexpensive relative to the quality. I like both Chinese and Japanese green teas. One company that's very inexpensive and has a big selections, among the first that I had loose-leaf green tea from, is Upton Tea Imports, and I'd recommend them. If you want to learn more about green tea and read reviews of different companies, I'd encourage you to visit my tea site:

I hope this answers your question. There is no quick and easy question because there haven't been that many studies. But you'd do well to let your taste buds guide you. The freshest and best-tasting tea is generally going to be healthier for you. And try ordering online so you can get loose-leaf tea.



=) Good luck!
