More on Gyokuro Tea

Gyokuro Tea - Japanese Gyokuro Asahi Green Tea was first created in 1835 by the Yamamotoyama Tea Company. It was the establishment’s sixth owner, Kahei Yamamoto VI, who led efforts to produce a beverage known for its dense, rich, sweet yet astringent taste.

He succeeded in his endeavours, with Gyokuro Tea now popular around the world.

Benefits of Japanese Gyokuro Asahi Green Tea

As a result, Gyokuro Tea - Japanese Gyokuro Asahi Green Tea can support the immune system while aiding digestion. However, that’s not all.

Studies suggest that habitual Tea drinking (at least three times a week, no matter the type) supports a longer, healthier life. This is according to a study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, which saw 100,902 participants split into two groups.

The first group was comprised of volunteers who drank three or more cups of Tea a week. The second group, meanwhile, included those who drank less than three brews a week.

Both sets of test subjects were followed-up for a median of 7.3 years, the results ultimately establishing that 50-year-old habitual Tea drinkers had a 20% lower risk of developing coronary heart disease. Additionally, scientists noted that these same brew lovers could live up to 1.26 years longer than someone who never or seldom drank Tea.

  2. I have tasted a lot of Japanese green tea and this very much hits the mark. I managed to brew this just right but I imagine it could be over brewed if not careful. Second infusion tasted quite good also but the first was better.
