However, catechins not only provide flavour but are also attributed numerous positive effects and antioxidant properties.\u003cbr\u003eThe most well-known catechin is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), which is present in particularly large quantities in our Japan Benifuuki Catechin Tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eYou can find more information about the effects of Japanese green teas on the human body on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/unternehmen.focus.de\/welche-wirkung-hat-japanischer-gruentee.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003efocus.de\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInfluence of cultivation\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe concentration of catechins is highly dependent on plenty of sunshine, the use of the youngest possible shoots, and the shrub variety. Our Catechin Tea comes from the Benifuuki shrub variety, which is known for its exceptionally high catechin content.\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInfluence of processing\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eProcessing determines the form in which the ingredients are present in the finished tea. In green tea, catechins are almost completely preserved by brief heating, while in black tea, they are converted into colourants and aromas through oxidation with oxygen. Studies conducted by TeeGschwendner itself confirm that the higher catechin content in green tea is primarily due to its gentle production.\u003cbr\u003eIn the production of our Japan Benifuuki Catechin Tea, the freshly harvested leaves are not heated as usual, but merely superheated (i.e., at very high temperatures) steamed (irimushi). This allows the aroma of the tea to unfold particularly well in the infusion, while simultaneously preserving the highest possible content of active ingredients.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInfluence of preparation\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eDuring preparation, temperature and steeping time are the decisive factors for how many substances transfer from the leaf to the water. A maximum yield of catechins is achieved at water temperatures between 85 °C and 95 °C and a steeping time of up to 10 minutes. The longer the tea leaves steep, the more ingredients, and thus catechins, dissolve and transfer into the infusion. However, after more than 10 minutes, no further increase in dissolved ingredients can be expected.\u003cbr\u003eFor Japan Benifuuki Catechin Tea, we recommend a water temperature of 80°C and a steeping time of 2 minutes. This tip is a recommendation for optimal enjoyment, while hotter water and a longer steeping time release the full abundance of valuable ingredients.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"TeeGschwendner CH","offers":[{"title":"1 x 100 g","offer_id":55839894503809,"sku":"100721-1","price":28.1,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 x 100 g","offer_id":55839894569345,"sku":"100721-10","price":253.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/0318\/7439\/files\/721_Preview_Bio.jpg?v=1782381214","url":"https:\/\/teegschwendner.ch\/en\/products\/japan-benifuuki-catechin-bio","provider":"TeeGschwendner CH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
