GROVER BEACH, Calif.--()--If you think green tea doesn't have much caffeine, think again. Dragon Pearl Tea claims they have the strongest green tea in the world, and that it's loaded with caffeine as well as antioxidants.
“As Lu Yu, the First Sage of Tea, said over a thousand years ago: 'Tea harmonizes the mind and awakens thought.'”
"Caffeine in tea is technically called theine," explains scientist Judah Sanders, co-founder and CEO of Dragon Pearl Tea. "We routinely test different teas for purity and potency, and the Mao Feng green tea from the Fujian Mountains is by far the most powerful tea we've seen, not just in theine, but also in the levels of EGCG." EGCG is the cancer-fighting polyphenol naturally present in tea.
Dragon Pearl's new Super Natural Energy tea shots are produced in California from fresh-brewed organic green tea concentrate using pure whole-leaf tea. A single 2-ounce shot is equal to drinking three cups of strong green tea.
The highly-concentrated tea is then mixed with Concord grape, pomegranate, blueberry and acai berry juices for a flavorful, powerful green tea shot. The result? "It makes you feel great," says Sanders. "Instead of using mood-altering chemicals that can cause long-term damage to your body, you can drink a delicious super green tea shot with natural antioxidants." The juices provide a healthy dose of resveratrol and fruit nutrients.
According to nutritionist Aaron Snyder, author of The New Diabetes Prescription, Dragon Pearl's antioxidant assertions are valid. In an interview with San Diego 6 anchorman Marc Bailey, he said that green tea has anti-carcinogenic properties, is good for weight loss, and is especially good for diabetics. He recommends drinking three cups of green tea for an energy lift.
"There's nothing like this," said tea maker and co-founder Dave Dahl. "Almost all green tea drinks and supplements in America use stale powdered tea. We're brewing the freshest, most potent green tea, as strong as possible... for a smooth lift, without weird or jittery feelings.
"As Lu Yu, the First Sage of Tea, said over a thousand years ago: 'Tea harmonizes the mind and awakens thought.'"
Dragon Pearl's Super Natural Energy tea shots launch in Southern California this month, and are also available online at supernaturaltea.com.
Dragon Pearl Tea is a California-based tea company founded by Web Associates co-founder Dave Dahl, marine biologist Judah Sanders, and Teamaster Hong Shi.
