The traditional Asian drink has won for a long time popularity all over the world. Green tea so ancient, as well as black tea, according to some information to green tea almost 3000 years. In essence, black and Green teas are children of the same tea bush. The technology of processing distinguishes them only. Them dry, braid, sort and dry, but Green tea, unlike black, do not ferment, and subject to steam influence. Such processing allows to keep more caffeine, tannins, vitamins, a chlorophyll...
Caffeine which in green tea much more, than in coffee, is appreciated the stimulating and toning up action on an organism. Improves working capacity of a brain, reflexes become aggravated. However in tea collateral action of caffeine on an organism (tachycardia, vascular infringements) is softened with a significant amount of tannins.
