Green tea has been found to help with with all types of ailments, from depression to high cholesterol. Catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the key ingredient in green tea. EGCG is a very strong anti-oxidant. Can this stuff get any better for our health? Yes.
Many organic green tea merchants sell their product through Fair Trade, like choiceorganicteas.com. Choice Organic Teas tries to raise awareness about the benefits of using organic teas.
In 2000 Choice Organic Teas became the first tea distributor to adopt the Fair Trade practices. Fair Trade certification addresses unfair practices in traditional trade, which has been known to discriminate against low-income workers in third-world countries. Products from economically developed countries, including the United States, do not qualify for Fair Trade certification.
When shopping for your green tea check the lable and make sure that it is organic and part of Fair Trade. Simple thinks like changing the brand of tea you drink can improve the quality of your health and the quality of life for impoverished famers and their families across the world.
