antioxidants

A study published in the Society of Chemical Industry found Greek mountain tea as potent as the highly revered Green tea at inducing cellular antioxidant defenses and reducing oxidative stress.  And we think it tastes a whole lot better!

In this study the antioxidant effects of a Greek mountain tea extract were investigated in a biological system (HepG2 cells) in basal condition after the induction of an oxidative stress, and compared to those of a Green Tea extract.

Many of our teas are known for having high levels of antioxidants. We have had our Greek Mountain Tea tested by Brunswick Labs (www.brunswicklabs.com), the premier antioxidant test lab. And will test others as we offer them. Brunswick utilizes the most advanced antioxidant testing technology, called ORAC 5.0, which provides measurements of the antioxidant capacity against the five most common Radical Oxygen Species found in humans. Standard ORAC testing only measures one.
