Good for Stomach & Digestion - Genmai-cha is often popular with elder generation in Japan as it is "milder" (less caffeine etc) than straight steamed green tea and easier for stomach.
High Catechins - Catechins are good at preventing heart disease because they appear to cause blood vessels to dilate. This promotes good blood circulation. The catechins found in green tea have been seen to lower high blood pressure. The antioxidants in tea, especially green tea, can help lower bad, or LDL, cholesterol and can help protect a woman against breast or ovarian cancer.

Our green tea farms, the Arahataen Green Tea Farms, are geographically and advantageously located in the Shizuoka prefecture in Japan, known for growing the finest of teas. This region has been the center of green tea culture in Japan for centuries. The difference in temperatures on the plateaus during night and day in this region is considered to be one of the main contributory factors to the richness in flavor of green tea. The fog and weather patterns are also considered to play an important role for the highest quality green tea plants.
