SOTA Instant Japanese Green Tea is the next step in the evolution of this centuries old drink. With regular brewed teas, you throw away nutrients with the tea leaves or in the tea bag. The finely ground leaves in SOTA Instant Japanese Green Tea mix into the drink, and you get all the benefits. I think the most promising areas of green tea research right now is in treating arthritis. The antioxidant power of the green tea's polyphenols blocks the pathway of the Cox-2 enzyme, which is a major cause of the inflammation and pain of arthritis.
Tea also has a strong antibacterial effect.
Drinking a cup of tea after a meal helps prevent cavities and gum disease because the polyphenols kill the bacteria that cause these diseases. We know from other research that there's a high correlation between gum disease and heart disease. I'm not a fan of these drinks. Heat water to almost boiling. Shake contents of one SOTA Instant Japanese Green Tea foil package into your cup.
