What’s in your cuppa green tea?
The Dutch call out, “thee”, Polish “herbata”, Greek “tsai” Indians simply say “chai”, Can you guess who they all miss?
It’s me, “Camellia sinensis”.
Confused why Camella is not in her senses?
To clear this, my identity I must explain,
In words simple and plain.
My history is as old as 2700 BC,
A shrub, I grew in China, from times you cannot even forsee.
To bring fame to my health potential,
Jumping into the hot water cup became quintessential. Startled, the Chinese King peered into his cup
Thank God, my aroma is providential!
Tempted, he sipped.
And gushed, “how delicious”, thanking his divine luck. But, let me remind you, my arrival is not circumstantial!
Legend has it that I was known
For my powers of the unknown.
Catechins are the most important type of flavonoids I contain
But, from using too much scientific jargon, I will refrain.
Flavonoids are present in wine and apples and berries too
But, no one tops me; “whoo hoo”!
While you dip dip dip your little bag of green tea in a hot water cup, I silently infuse the goodness of catechins in your magic cup!
What magic is in my cup you may ask,
90mg of the different catechins is waiting; but, listing them, is a task.
Catechins are classified into 4 tongue twisters,
But believe me, they are all sisters!
Hold your breath, I will not list them all,
Just remember the major one, not all! Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the most beneficial one,
It protects you from damage caused by harmful things,
Relax! My green tea gives you 65mg of EGCG- all said and done. My green tea helps your inner processes run smoothly aflow Which in turn, helps you stay healthy and age with glow.
While you sip your magic cuppa good health
Don’t forget- more the dips, higher the benefits to your health!
