Overview on Tea Leaf Family and Its Flavors
A cup of tea is just more than a refreshment drink. It is a companion that accompanies us right from the daybreak and helps us breathe an air of relief in the midst of daily chores. Gourmet tea forms an inevitable part of chatting sessions with friends and dear ones and adds flavor in our leisure hours.
It is interesting to note that gourmet loose tea leaf is available in variety of tea types. Some of the most popular gourmet tea leaf includes Black tea, Green tea, Oolong tea, Matcha tea and more. Each of these widely differs in their origin, processing and taste. Among those mentioned above, green tea happens to be a widely popular gourmet tea variety and is an accredited in many countries and regions. The tea originated mainly in China and Japan. Due to minimal oxidation process, green tea is capable of retaining most of its essential ingredients. The tea is rich in Vitamin C and smells like fresh cut grass. It exhibits anti-oxidant properties and is highly recommended for individuals affected by obesity. Very often the tea has been subjected to research by scholars and some researchers advocate the fact that green tea is capable of preventing certain types of cancer and neurological diseases.
The features and properties of green tea are strikingly similar to that of Oolong tea leaf. Mostly found in valleys of China and Taiwan, the amber colored tea leaves are generally long and emit a rosy aroma. However unlike its counter parts, it goes through a shorter oxidation process and hence is able to retain most of its natural properties. The tea is handpicked in early spring and then process manually by using traditional techniques. In some cases, the tea is rolled to produce long curly varieties and again sometimes it is grinded to form ball like structure. When the tea is put into shape of long curls, it is often referred as black dragon tea.
Matcha is yet another loose tea variety composed of antioxidant properties. The tea was first brought into Japan by monk Eisai. The tea was consumed in monasteries and slowly became a part of Japanese heritage. The specialty of this tea type is that it significantly boosts one’s energy level immediately after consumption. The processing techniques are very similar to that of other gourmet tea leaf. During the phase of early plantation, the leaves are protected from sunlight so as to increase its chlorophyll content. This makes the leaves darker and increases the content of amino acids that makes it sweeter in taste. However, when consumed, the leaves are not removed when brewed but whisked with water and consumed entirely. Sometimes, the leaves are also mixed with orange juice or cold soy milk to spice up the connoisseur.
Apart from the mentioned types, other varieties of gourmet tea leaf include Black tea, Rooibos, Pu-Erh, organic and herbal tea. Each has its own unique flavor and contributes to maintain sound health of its consumer. Tea addicts find gourmet leaf a sound health product and also a rejuvenating drink that would spice up their mood after every afternoon siesta.

Endometriosis Part 134 - Endometriosis and Raspberry Leaf
As we mentioned in previous articles, endometriosis growing somewhere else other than the endometrium also reacts to hormonal signals of the monthly menstrual cycle by building up tissue, breaking it, and eliminating it through the menstrual period. As we know, herbs play a very important role in some cultures in treating all kinds of diseases. In this article, we will discuss how red raspberry leaf helps to treat endometriosis.
I. Definition
Red raspberry leaf (rubus idaeus) is a pale-green leaf of a raspberry plant with an upright shrub with perennial roots and prickly canes. It contains high amounts of vitamins and minerals that can help in treating women with endometriosis. Traditionally, it has been used as tea to give immediate relief to mouth and stomach problems.
II. How red raspberry leaves effect endometriosis
1. Beta carotene and vitamin A
Beta carotene is water-soluble and it can be converted to vitamin A. It is a powerful antioxidant that helps our immune system in fighting against the forming of free radicals, and endometrial implants and adhesion caused by inflammation of endometrial cells growing in some other parts of the body.
2. Vitamin C
Red raspberry leaf has an abundant amount of vitamin C. Besides helping to protect our body from bacteria, virus and abnormal cells development, it also helps to improve the digestive absorption of other essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B complex, zinc, iron, and magnesium.
3. Vitamin E
Besides helping to protect the fatty acid against degradation in the human body and to prevent the cell membranes' oxidation, it also helps to nourish the brain cells which reduces symptoms of endometriosis such as mood swings, anxiety, and depression.
4. Vitamin B complex
Vitamin B complex in the plant is vital for women with endometriosis. It not only reduces tension of the nervous system resulting in converting carbohydrates to energy which is necessary for the proper functions of the nervous system, but it also helps the liver in fat and protein metabolism in which it inhibits the bad estrogen produced by our body that causes menstrual camps and abnormal cell growth.
5. Potassium
Deficiency of potassium reduces the liver fat and protein metabolism causing the imbalance of fatty acids in the body leading to overactive uterine muscles as a result of over-production of certain hormones in the protagslandins family.
6. Calcium
Calcium is needed to relax our body's muscles. Deficiency of calcium causes hyperactive muscles including the uterine muscles that control the abdominal cramps during menstrual cycle.
