The health benefits of green tea is widely know today. But how it became known in public is not so well known.
It was started when the researchers in Japan working on stomach cancer (which was one of the leading causes of death among Japanese at the time) noticed the significant low numbers of cancer patients in the area of Shizuoka where famous for the green tea production.
After decades of more researchs and lab tests following that lead, it was confirmed that a polyphenol antioxidant in green tea does help cancer prevention.
So now you know.

Perhaps that is why I feel so good whenever I drink a cup of Sencha and Matcha. It gives me a feeling of well being.
Theanine (glutamylethylamide) accounts for major part of amino acids in green tea that makes umami taste. Studies indicat that theanine generates alpha-waves in the brin.
The relaxed feeling after a cup of good green tea may be linked with the presence of theanine.
