One of the best and highest quality varieties of green tea is considered to be Uzbek classic tea No. 95 - kok-choy. It has an amazing delicate aroma and a wonderful delicate taste. This drink can be safely attributed to the elite varieties of tea, which, in terms of the fullness of its taste, is in no way inferior to the best teas in the world.

In the process of making tea 95, it goes through four stages of processing:

• withering;
• drying;
• twisting;
• additional drying.

Uzbek tea 95 has large leaves that are slightly twisted along the longitudinal axis of the leaf. Dry tea leaves have a pleasant fruity aroma. It should be noted that this tea grows in China, and in Uzbekistan it is only packaged.

How tea is brewed and drunk 95

Coca tea is usually drunk without sugar, but with the addition of various aromatic spices and herbs. It is worth noting that tea, like the tea ceremony itself in general, is one of the delightful customs of the East. In any home, guests will be given a bowl of aromatic Uzbek tea, since here it is considered a drink of hospitality.

Due to the fact that tea 95 is a classic Uzbek drink, it is recommended to brew and drink it according to the canons and peculiarities of this country.

It is necessary to pour the tea leaves exclusively into a well-heated teapot. Next, fill in a small amount of boiling water and steam it a little. Then add water to half, then to ¾ of the volume, and only then completely add boiling water to the kettle for brewing tea. It is very important that a pause of two to three minutes is maintained between each approach of pouring boiling water.

Finally, it is worth adding that there is a tradition in Uzbekistan, the more respected guest, the less tea is poured into his bowl. This is necessary so that he as often as possible turns to the owner for a new portion of aromatic tea.

Tea has always been held in high esteem in Uzbekistan. The drink helps to digest fatty oriental food, saves from the heat, promotes a leisurely conversation in the teahouse. Let's figure out how it is customary to brew and drink tea in this sunny country, what unusual recipes a traditional drink has.

Uzbek tea - spicy and sunny

Uzbekistan is a colorful sunny country. Tea has been revered here since the 19th century, they are saved from the scorching heat, the drink helps the body to digest traditional fatty dishes. Once tea was quite expensive, only wealthy citizens could afford to buy it. The people of the middle class insisted on a mixture of herbs with a small addition of tea leaves, with quince, pomegranate and rose petals.

The traditional Uzbekistan container for making tea is a kumgan, a small copper jug. Russian samovars were also widely used. Across the country, green tea is more widespread - it is called "kok-choy", brewed with milk - "ok-choy". In Tashkent, they often drink black "kora-choy".

The most popular tea is Uzbek 95 - this number hides large-leaf green tea. The drink has a delicate aroma, delicate taste, not inferior to the world's elite teas. Raw materials are grown in China and packaged in Uzbekistan. In production, tea leaves are dried, dried and rolled along the longitudinal axis, then finally dried.

Uzbek tea is drunk not only with sweets, oil, salt and pepper are added to it. This drink is popular with nomads because of its satiety and calorie content.

Tea traditions

In Uzbekistan, tea is drunk in large companies, during a leisurely conversation. There is even a special place for drinking tea - a teahouse. Such popular establishments are located in residential areas, near bazaars, people come here not only for a glass of drink, but also to listen to the performance of folk musicians and poets.

Green Uzbek tea lowers cholesterol levels, activates digestion, strengthens teeth and bones, calms the nervous system, and lowers blood pressure.

Recipes

For traditional Uzbek tea, you need a porcelain teapot. Heat the container with boiling water, put the tea leaves in it. Fill the kettle with hot water a quarter full and place it in an open preheated oven for 2 minutes. Top up with boiling water up to half, cover with a thin cloth. After 3 minutes, pour in hot water to full volume, close the container with a lid, and stand for 3 minutes.

The drink is poured into wide bowls, no more than half of its volume - it will cool down faster, and the guest will not burn his fingers. In order not to offend the owner, it is customary to drink everything at once, to the bottom. If the bowl is filled to the brim, the guest is not very welcome in this house.

• Milk infusion ok-choy: take 2.5 liters of milk, 2 tsp. tea leaves, 1/2 tsp. salt and butter (butter or ghee). Pour 0.5 liters of water into a saucepan, boil and add tea leaves. Wait 3 minutes, add milk, boil the mixture for 8-10 minutes, salt. The finished drink is poured into bowls and seasoned with oil. They drink with Uzbek pastries.
• Black pepper tea: put 1 tsp into the kettle. tea leaves and a pinch of ground pepper, pour in 2 cups of boiling water. Such a drink is drunk in the winter after a heavy meal, with a cold for warming.

Fortunately, we have an excellent remedy for fall spleen and its accompanying physiological problems like a permanent cold - hot tea. Since we drink it until next summer, it makes sense to diversify the taste with aromatic (and healthy) additives.

Thyme

Everyone knows a genius Caucasian invention. Thyme tea is good not only for its taste, but also for its ability to pacify various unpleasant processes, such as coughing and nasopharyngeal congestion. Like any wonderful invention, they love to counterfeit tea with thyme or simply spoil it out of ignorance. Here are the rules that must be followed.

Take a suitable tea for this mixture - black Indian or Ceylon, of good quality, of course. The sour taste of Chinese black tea or the flowery, light spirit of high-altitude Indian varieties like Darjeeling are not very suitable for thyme.

Thyme, of course, must be special - tea. Culinary spice or, God forbid, pharmacy bags are only suitable for bad cafes. Look for tea thyme in the markets. The more carefully it is selected - all branches, sticks and dry inflorescences are removed, the cleaner and brighter the aroma (which should not have any earthy aftertaste), the tastier the infusion and, of course, the higher the price. Thyme for tea is sold in stores of Armenian goods, which are in bulk in Moscow, for example, in the same "Armenia" store on Pushkin Square.

Sagan Daila

The Siberian name of the plant, botanically referred to as Adams' rhododendron. Little is known outside Altai and Western Siberia, which, of course, is a terrible omission. Because tea with it (besides being very good at warming, relieving pain and generally invigorating) - has some fantastically ideal taste. You can try properly brewed tea with sagan-daila only in some very special teahouses with a particularly advanced assortment or with friends from Siberia. Or - which is easiest - by cooking it yourself.

You can buy sagan-dailu in stores and on sites selling pharmaceutical herbs.

It should be brewed together with a powerful, strong Ceylon tea, not too bright, so as not to interrupt the aroma, green, for example, "gunpowder", or with Chinese red tea, an analogue of our black.

The aroma of sagan-dili is very strong, so you should be stingy and do not put more than 4-5 leaves on the teapot, they will be enough to radically change the taste and aroma of tea.

Uzbek mountain tea

A mixture of thyme, saffron and cardamom is one of the varieties of tea drink that is drunk throughout the Central Asian highlands, from northern India to Turkmenistan. The original drink is called "kava" and it comes from Kashmir. Kavu do it like that.

Pour two or three cardamom pods, a pinch of saffron, a cinnamon stick, a piece of a vanilla pod, a few cloves, a couple of black peppercorns with cold water - the set and amount of spices, of course, are different in each house. Sugar is added there and heated to a boil. Green tea is poured with this sweet spicy boiling water and boiled for 5-10 minutes over low heat. You can add more sugar or honey, crushed walnuts to the finished tea. This recipe with variations was sold to the surrounding regions, and in Uzbekistan it was reduced to three ingredients. You can look for this mixture in the markets, in the rows where they sell spices, Uzbek red rice, yellow carrots, dishes, cauldrons and other Central Asian goods. Or you can do it yourself by mixing about five parts thyme with two parts cardamom and one part saffron. This mixture warms and clears the nasopharynx perfectly, especially if you add some good tea to it. Ideal - Uzbek green tea or its analogs, that is, simple varieties of twisted Chinese green tea, or high-altitude Indian varieties such as Darjeeling.

Bay leaf

An excellent addition to green tea, very common, for example, in Kalmykia. Tea with bay leaves turns out to be thicker, more solid, spicy, which, of course, is important in autumn. Option - either just put 1-2 leaves together with the tea leaves in the teapot, or brew full-fledged Kalmyk tea:

Boil a mixture of equal parts water and milk, adding a little salt to it. Pour tiled green tea with bay leaf with this mixture and cook for five minutes over medium heat. For maximum authenticity, add a little butter to the tea.

Juniper

A great addition to aged Chinese black tea, such as pu-erh tea. Pu-erh itself is an ideal drink for cold and chilly weather, very invigorating and warming. Juniper berries further enhance the smoky, smoky note of tea, recalling the unrealizable, alas, for most townspeople pleasure - to listen to the elements raging outside the window, sitting by the fireplace. The technology is simple - add 5-6 dried juniper berries to the teapot. These berries can be bought at a pharmacy or on a website that sells pharmaceutical herbs.

Research from Queen Maharet University in Edinburgh looked at the effects of short-term consumption of green tea by a group of students aged 19 to 37 years. The participants were offered a diet and 4 cups of green tea a day for 14 days. The results showed that such consumption of green tea reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, fat, and body weight. These results suggest a role for green tea in reducing the potential for cardiovascular risk factors. This research focused primarily on the problem of overweight and reducing the high risk of cardiovascular disease Green tea is one of the oldest drinks on the planet. Its homeland and main producer is China. The main feature of its production is the processing technology in which fermentation (oxidation) of the tea leaf does not occur. To obtain green tea, fermentation is stopped - "killing greens" - immediately after harvesting. This allows the tea to retain the green color of the leaves and infusion, and a hint of fresh greens prevails in its taste and aroma. Green teas are distinguished by the types of tea bush, by the technology of collection and processing, by the shape of the tea leaf, by the place of growth, and, undoubtedly, by the quality. Spring teas obtained as a result of processing young leaves and buds are of great value. As a rule, they have an elongated or twisted shape. In addition to external factors, the quality of the tea bush itself plays an important role, depending on how well it was looked after, the collection criteria and manufacturing technology were observed. The skill of people, occupation in production, also affects the quality of tea. Hand-picked from antiquity is still the only way to harvest high quality green tea. From ancient times in the East, long before the chemical composition of tea became known, people discovered through observations its amazing healing and nutritional properties. In China, the homeland of tea, the drink was glorified as a healing potion: green tea stimulates the body's vital functions, enhances efficiency and eliminates fatigue, because it preserves the beneficial substances contained in the tea leaf to a greater extent. For example, the vitamin riboflavin has a great effect on the skin of the face: it makes it elastic, prevents dryness and flaking. It is not for nothing that green tea extract is included in numerous cosmetics of the most famous brands. Green tea is also a godsend for those who want to control their appetite: in addition to quenching their thirst, tea also quenches the feeling of hunger. Not replacing food, it nevertheless helps to withstand a long time without the usual diet. Tea cleanses the body, removes toxins and harmful substances. Probably green tea is worthy of the title of a panacea, because it has been proven that most diseases of the human body appear as a result of nervous tension and stress. And the thiamine contained in tea leaves helps to normalize the functioning of the entire nervous system, but the most unusual property of green tea is to slow down and reduce wear and tear of the body as a whole. Tea was included in the obligatory diet of travelers, sailors, geologists and representatives of other professions who are forced to work in the field, often change the environment, and experience physical and nervous overload. A drink that allows you to return to Youth. Eternal youth is an unrealizable and carefully hidden dream of almost every person. Whether you are a man or a woman, but at some point in your life you realize that that light, kind and carefree is slowly leaving you, when, sincerely laughing, you don’t think about the number of new wrinkles; when sleepless nights give incentive to new achievements, and not to bags under the eyes; when the sun's rays delight and inspire, and do not spoil the complexion. And, if the mental nostalgia for childhood lends itself to at least some control, then the external signs of farewell to him, unfortunately, have recently been subject only to plastic surgery. But, there is a fairly simple, affordable, completely safe and, most importantly, an effective way to keep yourself in shape without all sorts of modern technologies of rejuvenation. You probably thought about magic elixirs, extrasensory perception and hypnosis? No, everything is much more prosaic, but it has been tested and proven for centuries. THIS IS A CLASSIC GREEN TEA !!!

It would be more correct to say that it normalizes blood pressure, but more on that below.

Despite the indisputable usefulness, it is difficult to unequivocally answer the question whether green tea lowers or increases blood pressure. It all depends on the individual nuances of a particular person's body: the state of his vessels, the degree of disruption of the cardiovascular and nervous systems, etc.

Different experts think differently. Some are sure that this drink lowers blood pressure, others that it increases. Moreover, each of them supports their opinion with arguments and evidence. One thing can be said for sure: green tea is much healthier than black. To obtain such tea, the leaves of the tea bush undergo a shorter fermentation time, not exceeding 2–3 days, with enzymatic oxidation of the leaves by 12%. The enzymatic process of black tea lasts about a month, while the oxidation reaches 80%. In the latter case, the feedstock loses much more useful properties than in the first. This proves that black tea is less beneficial.

Let's try to figure out how green tea affects the body, what properties it has and in which cases it increases and in which it lowers blood pressure.

Does green tea raise or lower blood pressure?

For each person, the degree of usefulness of tea is determined based on the individual characteristics of the body and the presence of diseases. This drink activates certain processes that are desirable for some people, but not for others.

Interesting fact: Japanese scientists have proven that regular consumption of green tea by hypertensive patients led to a decrease in blood pressure by an average of 5-10%. They made these conclusions after the end of an experiment in which people suffering from hypertension had to drink green tea daily for several months. With a single or irregular use of the drink, the indicators of the cardiovascular system did not change.

Drinking green tea in healthy people can reduce the likelihood of developing hypertension by 60-65% and reduce the risk of heart attack by 40%.

When green tea can lower blood pressure

If you drink the drink irregularly, after eating, with milk, then it, most often, will not affect the blood pressure indicators in any way (abbreviated A / D). Although it all depends on the characteristics of the body of a particular person. Tea can lower blood pressure due to its diuretic effect: the elimination of fluid from the body and the bloodstream leads to a decrease in A / D.

With asthenia, vascular dystonia of the hypotonic type or other dysfunctions of the autonomic nervous system, the pressure in some people may slightly decrease. To obtain a tangible hypotensive effect, it is necessary to systematically drink the drink for a long time, and half an hour or an hour before meals and without milk. It is worth considering that tea leaves must be of very good quality without aromatic additives, impurities, dyes. The price of this tea is very high and, more often than not, it cannot be found in regular stores.

When Green Tea May Raise Blood Pressure

Does green tea increase blood pressure? Yes, this effect is possible. The increase in A / D after drinking the drink is associated with a large amount of caffeine. Green tea competes with natural coffee in terms of caffeine content. Moreover, the preponderance goes towards the former. Everyone believes that coffee contains the largest amount of caffeine, but this is not correct - green tea has 4 times more of it.

Caffeine, tannin, xanthine, theobromine, and other substances stimulate the nervous system and heart function, thereby speeding up the heart rate and may slightly increase A / D. But this effect is short-term, unstable, compensated by vasodilation due to the activation of the vasomotor center of the brain, which is responsible for the state of the blood vessels. Therefore, there is no need to talk about a tangible increase in pressure.

If the increase in blood pressure is associated with autonomic dysfunction, then the drink is likely to increase A / D due to the stimulation of the nervous system by caffeine. At the same time, the headache that appeared against the background of reduced pressure will be relieved.

Green tea normalizes blood pressure

• increase the elasticity of the walls of blood vessels and prevent the deposition of atherosclerotic plaques on them;
• maintain normal blood clotting, preventing the formation of blood clots;
• promote weight loss;
• remove excess fluid from the body;
• improve blood supply of brain cells with oxygen;
• have vasodilating properties.

Caffeine stimulates the work of the heart and, together with kakhetin, simultaneously dilates blood vessels. Therefore, even if A / D first increased, then it will return to normal. Thanks to this, green tea is excellent for daily use by both healthy people and hypertensive or hypotensive patients.

Rules for brewing and drinking green tea

How this drink affects blood pressure depends on the method of brewing it, the amount and frequency of use:

• Loosely brewed cool green tea lowers blood pressure due to its diuretic effect. It is suitable for hypertensive patients, people with heart failure or with increased intracranial pressure. In this case, you need to brew tea leaves no longer than 2 minutes.
• A strong hot drink can first raise blood pressure and then normalize it. Well suited for people with low A / D scores. To saturate the drink with caffeine, let the brew brew for at least 7 minutes.
• To get the desired effect from a cup of green tea, you need to drink it in 30-60 minutes. before meals. Regularity is also important.
• Do not add sugar or milk to the drink, since the beneficial properties are lost. For taste, you can put a spoon or two honey.
• Drink only freshly brewed tea.
• Do not brew green tea with boiling water. The filtered water should cool slightly after boiling. In China, brewing and drinking tea is a whole ritual that is performed slowly and in strict sequence.
• Drink in moderation (1-3 cups a day) rather than liters in the hopes of achieving an immediate effect.

Rules for drinking green tea for a healing effect

Conclusion

If you have a tendency to increase or decrease arterial A / D, then it is better to check your condition yourself after drinking tea. Average brewing time for dry leaves is 3-5 minutes. Make tea, but don't rush to drink it. Listen to your body, measure A / D yourself and monitor your feelings before and after drinking. This is the only way to understand how it will affect your body.

"Drink 2-3 cups of quality green tea a day to lower your blood pressure."

“The most effective blood pressure products are caffeine containing:

black and green tea "

"Despite the indisputable usefulness, it is difficult to unequivocally answer the question whether green tea lowers or raises blood pressure."

you at least decide, the heart is not a joke to trust the writing of articles to shit writers with etcht.

Hello! There are no unambiguous answers to some questions (there are such ambiguous questions in any area).

In this article, it is highlighted in bold: "It is difficult to unequivocally answer the question whether green tea lowers or increases blood pressure."

And it is also stated further: “Different experts think differently. Some are sure that this drink lowers blood pressure, others that it increases. Moreover, each of them supports their opinion with arguments and evidence. " This is exactly what you noticed.

You have cited quotes from articles on my site: "Products that increase pressure" and "Products that lower pressure". Yes, in this case, green tea was on both lists. The articles were written by different specialists.

But in the same way, if you interview doctors visually, there is no "one truth on all issues", which all experts say unanimously. I think many of us have experienced this when we were treated.

And in any case, the information on the site is for informational purposes only, it is not a recommendation for treatment.

You write that green tea should be of good quality and you won't find it in a store, but where do our regulatory authorities look if they sell solid manure in stores? In all supermarkets in Belgorod, in the vegetable departments, there are a lot of rotten vegetables and pieces of dirt, and often fruits. I don’t want to come up.

Yes, the food in supermarkets is far from the best. You can find good tea in specialized stores (if you have one in the city) or order online with delivery (but you also need to find a good place). We have to get out.

Green tea under pressure - how does the drink affect blood pressure?

Most of the world's population suffers from violations of blood pressure. Therefore, many green tea lovers are interested in the question of how this drink affects the level of pressure.

Even specialists cannot answer this question. Green tea under pressure can have both a reducing and an increasing effect - it all depends on the method of brewing, the personal characteristics of each person and the additives contained in the tea.

Green tea is a natural storehouse of antioxidants, trace elements and vitamins. With its help, you can quench your thirst, carry out the prevention of cancer, and also normalize blood pressure.

How does green tea affect blood pressure?

The effect of green tea on blood pressure has long been controversial among specialists - some argue that the drink increases blood pressure, others - which lowers it. Moreover, both sides confirm their opinion with research and arguments.

One can only answer unequivocally that green tea is much more useful than black tea - it contains a lot of natural antioxidants that have a beneficial effect on the walls of blood vessels, preventing the formation of blood clots. These properties suggest that, in general, green tea has a very beneficial effect on the functionality of the cardiovascular system as a whole.

But how does green tea affect blood pressure?

For each individual person, the degree of influence on the pressure of green tea depends on the characteristics of his own body, the presence of diseases and some other related factors. A drink in the body triggers certain processes - they will have a beneficial effect on some people, and negatively on others.

Scientists from Japan conducted an interesting experiment - people with high blood pressure drank green tea daily for a certain period of time. This led to the fact that the pressure readings decreased by an average of 5-10%. But for those who drank green tea irregularly, the pressure standards did not change.

This suggests that the frequency, duration and regularity of drinking the green drink also has an impact on the ability of tea to increase or decrease blood pressure.

For a healthy person, drinking green tea on a regular basis significantly helps to reduce the risk of hypertension by almost 65%, as well as significantly prevent the development of heart attacks.

If there is any doubt about how this drink affects blood pressure, a person should be preliminarily examined so that a specialist gives a clear answer about his health condition, so that he can safely add green tea to his daily diet.

Caffeine, which is found in large quantities in tea, stimulates the heart. And the heart increases the volume of the pumped blood. Also, under the influence of caffeine, the vasomotor center in the brain is activated, which is responsible for the state of the blood vessels.

When green tea lowers blood pressure

It is possible to note whether green tea lowers blood pressure only with prolonged and daily use of the drink. An instant drop in blood pressure after drinking tea is usually not observed, although everything depends on the body of each person specifically.

With some disorders in the nervous system (for example, with vegetative-vascular dystonia, asthenia), after green tea, pressure may decrease with a combination of certain factors.

What tea lowers blood pressure and under what conditions:

• You need to drink at least 1-2 cups of days for a long time;
• Take the drink no earlier than an hour before meals;
• Tea should not be diluted with milk or cream;
• Tea must be of good quality (usually, these are expensive varieties);
• Tea should be free of flavored additives, dyes, and other impurities.

Lowering blood pressure when drinking green tea is associated with the diuretic effect of the drink - a decrease in arterial parameters occurs due to the removal of excess fluid from the bloodstream and the whole body.

It has been noticed that green tea lowers blood pressure in combination with jasmine, mint, ginger, lemon, lemon balm. For hypotonic people, such teas are completely contraindicated, because can significantly worsen the condition.

It is due to catechins that green tea gently lowers blood pressure and therefore can be an effective remedy in the treatment of hypertension.

When green tea raises blood pressure

Green tea contains a large amount of caffeine - significantly more than regular natural coffee. Along with xanthine, tannin, theobromine, the caffeine contained in tea causes the heart muscle to contract intensively, as a result of which the vessels dilate, and the work of the nervous system stabilizes.

Does green tea increase blood pressure? If you measure blood pressure, there will be no significant changes - the effect of exposure to tea components is short-lived and unstable. But the general condition may improve - for example, the headaches that people so often suffer with low blood pressure will disappear.

If a person has disorders of autonomic function, then tea can significantly increase blood pressure, because the nerve endings will be stimulated by caffeine.

Regular consumption of green tea significantly improves vascular elasticity and lowers blood cholesterol levels. All this reduces the likelihood of heart attack and stroke.

How to drink green tea for pressure surges

The dual action of green tea suggests that in order to reduce or increase blood pressure, you need to know how to drink the drink correctly and in what quantities, how to brew it, and who is allowed or forbidden to drink it.

What you need to know:

• Cold green tea, not steeply brewed (brew for no more than two minutes), can reduce pressure. This drink is suitable for high blood pressure, as well as for people suffering from heart failure.
• Hot green tea brewed tightly (at least 7-8 minutes of the brewing process) is recommended for people with low pressure. Such a drink at first slightly raises the pressure, and then normalizes the indicators.
• To achieve the desired effect in pressure stability, you need to drink tea regularly and daily, before meals for 30 or 60 minutes.
• Do not dilute the tea with milk, sugar or other additives, as this can reduce the desired effect. If necessary, it is better to add a little honey to it.
• Drink only high quality and freshly brewed tea.
• Do not overuse the amount of tea you drink - no more than 3-5 cups a day, but in no case in liters in anticipation of an instant effect.

In severe forms of chronic hypertension, it is better to completely refuse such a drink (it does not matter if black or green tea). It is also better to refrain from using it during an exacerbation of any chronic disease, because the effect of tea can unpredictably affect the development of the pathological process.

You should not experiment with the effect of green tea on blood pressure for people with peptic ulcer disease, chronic gastritis, arthrosis, rheumatism and arthritis, as well as for people with sleep disorders, tachycardia and nervous irritability.

It is common knowledge that green tea can contain more caffeine than coffee. In general, it leads to excitement of the nervous system, in connection with which people with a depleted nervous system may have problems with sleep and loss of energy for no apparent reason. Before going to bed, it is better not to drink green tea at all - you run the risk of experiencing insomnia

Answering the question, green tea raises or lowers blood pressure, we can safely say that it normalizes blood pressure, adjusting the work of all human systems and organs:

• Increases the elasticity of the vascular walls;
• Promotes weight regulation;
• Prevents the formation of atherosclerotic plaques;
• Removes excess fluid;
• Normalizes blood clotting processes, prevents thrombus formation;
• Has a vasodilator effect;
• Improves the supply of oxygen to brain cells through the bloodstream.

Green tea can be drunk both for healthy people and for hypotonic patients with hypertensive patients, if concomitant pathologies and conditions are not observed. If there is no time to visit doctors, then you need to independently monitor your condition: before drinking tea and after drinking tea, you need to measure blood pressure, and then carefully monitor your feelings.

In case of sudden surges in pressure, green tea should not be used as a medicine, only based on the reviews of other people - it is better to seek advice and recommendations from a doctor.

Does green tea lower or increase blood pressure?

Green tea is a healthy and tasty drink that replenishes the human body with a large amount of essential vitamins, minerals and complex organic compounds. Its leaves are harvested from evergreen tea trees that grow en masse in China, Japan, Africa, India and South America. The difference between green tea and black varieties lies in the fermentation period, which is significantly reduced and, due to this, allows maximum preservation of its beneficial properties in the leaves.

How does green tea affect blood pressure?

If the described properties of tea have been proven by practice and time, then the leading luminaries of medicine do not stop debating about its effect on blood pressure. The controversy arises over the main components of tea, which have a multifaceted effect on the blood pressure.

Opinion: green tea lowers blood pressure

The claim that green tea drink lowers blood pressure is based on the presence of catechin in the composition, which promotes vascular elasticity and neutralizes excess cholesterol in the blood. Also, green tea is credited with a diuretic property that allows you to slightly reduce blood pressure. However, do not forget about the action of one of the main components of green tea - caffeine, which accumulates in the drink during prolonged brewing, excites the nervous system and can aggravate the state of hypertensive patients at the time of a crisis.

Opinion: green tea raises blood pressure

The opinion that green tea can increase blood pressure is also controversial. Caffeine, the amount of which in tea is 4 times higher than in coffee, can indeed slightly increase arterial parameters and relieve head pain, however, frequent intake of green tea is contraindicated for chronic hypotension. The reason for this is the likelihood of quick addiction to the tea drink and an increase in the number of receptions. This entails the opposite effect of caffeine, as a result of which, instead of the expected tone and vigor, there is a decrease in activity, mental inhibition, loss of strength and a decrease in pressure as a result.

Truth in the middle?

Talking about the effect of green tea on blood pressure, one can say with certainty one thing - with the help of a tea drink, you can normalize arterial parameters if it is properly prepared and consumed in a certain amount, in combination with other means of treating pathology. For example, hypertensive patients can drink a weak drink several times a day, brewed for 1.5 minutes. For chronic hypotensive patients, on the contrary, the brewing time should be increased to 7 minutes, and the number of doses per day should be reduced to once.

How to brew and drink green tea properly?

When brewing a healthy and tasty drink, you need to consider factors such as the type of green tea, the size of the leaves or granules, and personal taste preferences.

To experience the health-improving effect of drinking a tea drink, you must adhere to the following criteria in its preparation:

1. Choose natural high-quality tea without dyes and synthetic aromatic additives.
2. To brew tea, use spring, filtered or settled tap water, which must be heated to 90 ° C. It is not recommended to use boiling water to make a drink from green tea, as it removes its beneficial properties. Also, do not boil the water again.
3. The amount of tea for brewing is selected taking into account the size of the leaves of the tea leaves and the desired strength of the drink. The optimal ratio of tea with water to obtain a tasty drink is considered to be 1 tsp. tea leaves on a glass of water.
4. For the preparation of a drink, it is preferable to use dishes that retain heat for a long time. For these purposes, teapots made of clay or porcelain are suitable.
5. The brewing time of the tea depends on preference and the expected health benefits. In the first minute of brewing, the tea is saturated with theine, which has a fast-acting tonic effect. With high blood pressure, the tea leaves should be removed from the teapot after this time, while the drink is still not saturated with caffeine. With a longer brewing (up to 7 minutes), tannins are activated in the tea, which provide vigor, a surge of strength, and also contribute to an increase in pressure in case of hypotension.

The procedure for brewing a green tea drink involves the following steps:

• Warm up the teapot by first placing it on the heater or holding it over the fire.
• Pour the required amount of tea leaves into the teapot with a dry spoon, then wrap it in a towel or cover with a special felt heating pad for a few minutes.
• Pour no more than 1/3 hot water into the dry-brew kettle, wrap it up again for 3 minutes and then add the water to the top of the teapot.

It is not enough to be able to brew green tea, it must be consumed correctly. It is advisable to drink it before meals, at least half an hour, you can combine it with honey and dried fruits. It is not recommended to use a drink brewed more than 2 times, combine it with sweets, add sugar and milk to it, which neutralizes the effect of green tea nutrients.

Green tea drink should not be overused as it can negatively affect your overall well-being. The recommended dosage, taking into account individual tolerance and needs, is from 1 to 3 cups per day.
