How Much Tea Leaves To Use For Maximum Health?

by Matt
(Italy)

When several studies suggest that to reach health benefits we should drink more than four cups of green tea every day, does it mean that for each cup we have to use new leaves or is it enough a multiple infusion of the same leaves?

Thank you again.

Answer:

Matt, a lot of health benefits studies were conducted in Asia, where the people drink loose green tea and makes 3 infusion out of the same leaves.

The most important consumers can rely on for health benefits are their taste buds. If the tea tastes rich and flavourful, chances are there are nutrients.

This is because caffeine tastes bitter, catechins taste astringent, and theanine - the most prized chemicals of green tea that is the most closely correlated with its quality - tastes unami, which may be described as along the line of brothy, fresh, sweet and lively.

Hope this helps.
