does green tea have any compound that make L-Theanine absorb faster. I want chemicals that make my have less shaky and more control n dexterity when i am playing game. Which green tea have high L-Theanine
Thx for this great video. I would be grateful if you could explsin why the green tea sold in North Africa makes a brown cup of tea and not a green cup.Is it because the green tea sold in North Africa contains some colorants or chemicals or is this brown color quite normal or maybe due to some normal agricultural process ? If you go to Google images a cup of green tea is always green not brown.
A greener color in your green tea doesn't necessarily mean it is higher quality. Green tea should be between yellow to green but never brown or orange (this is low quality). Japanese teas tend to be more yellowish green or pure green and this comes from the unique steaming process. On google images, a lot of the teas are made using dyes I believe but Japanese teas like these Fukamushi teas are really super green: nioteas.com/collections/fukamushi-sencha
@@Nioteas THX a lot for your answer. I highly appreciate your expertise and knowledge about green tea. If as you said, "on google images, a lot of the teas are made using dyes" is it possible to have the names of these dyes or chemicals and have some idea about if these dyes are totally safe for humans.
@@abdelilahbenahmed4350 Im not sure, I just know certain pictures I see on google are not what tea actually looks like! Just go for the fukamushi tea, it tastes much better
@@Nioteas Coloring teas to improve their look in the cup has become a significant problem. The most common technique is re-coloring used tea. R. Ambalavanan, Executive Director of the Tea Board of India, South Zone headquartered in Coonoor offers this simple test : “Pour a tablespoon of tea dust/leaf into a glass of cold water. If the tea is pure then there won’t be any change in the color of the water,” he told the “Deccan Chronicle” . “If it is dyed or a colorant added, then one can see the color of water change immediately to red,” said Ambalavanan. Alternately you can take blotting paper, wet it and sprinkle tea on the surface. If you see yellow, orange or red spots on the blotting paper, the tea has been treated with coal tar dye. Most adulterants are harmless but coloring tea can pose health hazards. Agents include indigo, soapstone, Prussian blue and gypsum. Eradicating the practice, which dates to the early 1800s, has become a Herculean task, Ambalavanan observed. “Most consumers generally think tea which has strong color when added with milk is good tea. To satisfy consumers by wrong means, some tea traders and tea shops add color,” he said. In some cases, roadside tea shops even add a colored mixture, what they call as beverage mix, to the cup to enhance its color,” he advised. A kilo of genuine tea brews about 400-500 cups of tea but adding artificial flavors and color can stretch that to between 800 and 1,000 cups per kilo.
Kukicha (stem tea), bancha (a later picking, mentioned in the video), genmaicha (made with bancha and toasted rice). Kukicha will have more caffeine than the latter two but less than a sencha, for example.

Thank you❤❤❤I drink green tea everyday😊😊😊
This is great to hear!
Now I am going to smoke green tea
I would not recommend this

gyokuro and matcha are very high in caffeine and l-theanine
@@Nioteas sorry i meant less caffeine with more l-thanine or should i get l thanine supplement or green have chemicals that absorb faster
@YOGA47 Gyokuro (and all other Shaded green teas such as Kabusecha) contains more l-thenaine than caffeine.
I love learning about tea
You came to the right place then!
@@Nioteas 🙂
hi how much Anti oxidants (ACE) and L theanine are in 1 cup of green tea??
the amount would vary between the different types of teas
@@Nioteas approximately?
@@NioteasIf green tea is so high in antioxidants, how does it _oxidize_ into black tea? 🤔
This video was so good helped with my chemistry project a lot👍👍

Fascinating. Thank you 🙏
I'm so glad you found it interesting
what are the low caffeine unroasted green teas ?
Kukicha (stem tea), bancha (a later picking, mentioned in the video), genmaicha (made with bancha and toasted rice). Kukicha will have more caffeine than the latter two but less than a sencha, for example.
yes exactly!
