Jun 25th, 2010 Posted in Green Tea | No Comments »

The green tea offered by Gevalia is known to be the “emerald of the Orient” because of its uniquely light and delicate taste. It is very hard for other teas to equal the quality of Gevalia green tea, which is complemented by its natural refreshing characteristics and the health benefits confirmed to be offered by consuming green tea on a regular basis.

Green tea is not just for soothing the taste; scientific studies have proven green tea to be a good source of antioxidants. Antioxidants are supplements the body needs to nuetralize free radicals. In fact, green tea is prized so highly in the West because medical studies have proven that their high level of antioxidants can have a beneficial effect on the human body. And Gevalia is very careful not to destroy these properties the process it uses to make its green tea.

Unlike the production process for black teas, green tea leaves are not allowed to oxidize. This preserves the pale green color, the distinctive flavor and the natural antioxidant properties. Gevalia always makes sure that the processing of this tea is all natural and no other substances are added. This delicate procedure preserves freshness and does not alter the tea’s unique characteristics.

Gevalia handpicks their tea leaves from the finest tea bushes. The leaves are carefully carried using woven twine carriers to preserve their delicacy and green color. After being weighed, the leaves are taken to the factory for drying in the sun. This is done as quickly as possible to minimize the time spent in sunlight, which can diminish its natural properties.

It is because of these details that Gevalia Green Teas are the number one green teas the world over. You can easily sample Gevalia green tea – and receive free gifts like coffee makers, mugs, and more, by joining the Gevalia coffee club.
