Sencha green tea: a concentrate of antioxidants to boost your immune system?
Our immune system is an internal army that fights against external diseases. Taking care of it on a daily basis is therefore essential. If there are several solutions to boost your natural defenses such as physical activity and a healthy and varied diet, certain hot drinks such as Sencha green tea can also be beneficial for your health. For what ? Because Sencha green tea has interesting virtues, particularly thanks to its recognized antioxidant powers.
Its polyphenol (catechins) content gives it antioxidant properties but also a beneficial effect on our immune system. It is these polyphenols that would effectively promote immunity against foreign pathogens and fight against the action of free radicals and premature aging of cells.
Good for the immune system? But still? The benefits of japanese green tea leaves are multiple and could well surprise you...
Organic sencha green tea is a natural stimulant
In addition to its antioxidant properties beneficial for our immune system, Sencha green tea (organic, if you choose Sencha Kusmi) is known to be particularly stimulating due to its caffeine/theine content.
Organic Sencha green tea would therefore be useful to all those who lack energy on a daily basis. Unlike coffee, which is a stimulant, this Japanese green tea is a stimulant, meaning that it has much less caffeine than coffee and would therefore be better tolerated by certain profiles. This is a great alternative for people who want to reduce their coffee consumption.
The energizing benefits of Sencha green tea are more gentle but last longer. Released gradually into the body over 6 hours, theine stimulates concentration and boosts our memory skills. Sencha green tea would therefore be excellent for awakening the senses, while respecting the body.
DOES SENCHA GREEN TEA PREVENT SLEEP?
At Kusmi, we tend to say that everyone has a different resistance to caffeine. To avoid having difficulty falling asleep, we still advise you to drink your Sencha green tea before 5 p.m. in order to benefit from its stimulating benefits at the right time of your day.
Evening, noon or morning: when to drink Sencha tea?
Depending on your tastes and desires, it can be drunk in the morning, at midday or as a snack. But to fully benefit from all the properties of this Japanese green tea, we recommend drinking it after a meal. Indeed, like its peers, Sencha green tea has beneficial effects on digestion and is particularly suitable after a slightly rich meal.
THEIR BETA-SISTEROL LEVEL
Goji berry infusions also provide β-sitosterol. In humans, it notably reduces the level of cholesterol in the blood. It would also have anti-inflammatory properties.
Sencha green tea is good for digestion
Considered our second brain, our intestine must be pampered. What if Sencha green tea had beneficial effects on digestion? Indeed, Sencha is a very good source of tannins, flavonoids, amino acids and vitamins. So many nutrients that contribute to the good balance of the microbiota!
Thus, regular consumption of quality green tea combined with a balanced lifestyle could contribute to digestive well-being. Good news, this is particularly the case with Goji berry infusions which make it possible to Japanese green teas, like Sencha tea or Matcha which are rich in nutrients. In short, consuming your Sencha green tea after a meal cannot harm you... especially after a rich meal.
Does Sencha green tea help you lose weight?
At Kusmi, we take a grain of salt regarding the link that exists between green tea and weight loss (slimming). Quite simply because it has never really been scientifically proven.
Far from being a magical product, Sencha green tea alone will not make you melt in one of the positive properties for our skin and hair. Their cup of tea. However, associated with a balanced and varied diet and sporting activity, Sencha would have slimming properties. Indeed, being rich in antioxidants (polyphenols), it supports our metabolism. At the same time, it would effectively hydrate and be a natural diuretic. It could thus help to drain you naturally while having beneficial effects on the joints of the body.
In short, Sencha has well-known detoxifying and antioxidant benefits. Kusmi, however, advises you to consume it as part of a healthy and balanced diet to maximize its benefits.
Which Sencha green tea to choose?
We recommend that you opt for organic Sencha tea because of the numerous quality controls that are carried out during the production and development of the product. The organic designation guarantees you good quality, pesticide-free green tea.
How to properly prepare your Sencha tea to make the most of its benefits?
The way you prepare your Sencha tea (dosage, water temperature and infusion time) will directly influence the taste it will have when tasting it. Tea gets a stronger, bitter taste at higher temperatures and longer steeping times. At a lower temperature and with a shorter infusion time, Sencha obtains a softer, even slightly sweet flavor. At Kusmi, we recommend 2g of Sencha tea for 60ml of water, to heat for 2 minutes at 70°C. This way, you can make the most of the health benefits of Sencha tea!
