🧪 Chemical Composition (Typical Values)

✔️ Polyphenols (Total): 24–36% - Polyphenols are powerful antioxidants that help reduce oxidative stress and support cellular health. Higher polyphenol content indicates better quality green tea with stronger protective benefits for the immune system and metabolism.

✔️ Catechins (EGCG, ECG, EGC): 8–12% - Catechins are a subgroup of polyphenols, including EGCG — the most active antioxidant in green tea. They contribute to fat oxidation, reduced inflammation, and cardiovascular support. A range of 8–12% is typical for premium minimally processed green tea.

✔️ Amino acids (L-theanine): 3–5% - L-theanine is responsible for the calming-yet-alert effect of green tea. It promotes mental clarity, reduces stress, and balances the stimulating effect of caffeine. Higher amino acid levels indicate younger, tender leaves and gentle processing.

✔️ Caffeine Content: 20–35 mg per 100 ml infusion - Caffeine in green tea provides mild, sustained energy without jitteriness. The level is significantly lower than coffee but enough to support focus and alertness. Variations depend on leaf maturity and steeping time.

✔️ Moisture Content: ≤ 6% - Low moisture ensures proper leaf preservation, prevents mold, and maintains tea quality during storage. A moisture level of ≤6% indicates good drying technique and contributes to longer shelf life and stability.

✔️ Ash Content: 4–7% - Ash content represents the total mineral concentration of the tea, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, and other trace elements. Values between 4–7% reflect balanced mineralization and healthy soil conditions in the growing region.

✔️ Essential Oils: 0.4–0.6% - Essential oils contribute to the natural aroma and flavor profile. They include aromatic compounds released during leaf processing. Higher essential oil content means a fresher, more fragrant infusion with floral and grassy notes.

✔️ Protein & minerals: 1–2% - Proteins and minerals support nutritional value and contribute to the body’s daily micronutrient intake. Minerals such as manganese, potassium, and magnesium help with enzyme function, bone health, and general metabolic processes. 🫖 Brewing Recommendations
