==========================
Section 1: Welcome!
Debbie and I want to say welcome to the
world of Japanese Green Tea. We came to
know (and love) green tea by accident -
perhaps you did too.
Our story started like this:
We were at a Farmers Market like the one
we have at the Ellenton Farmers Market. One
of the vendors at the market was Tony Gordon
and his wife Izumi Haraki.
Yep, you guessed it – they were selling their
Haraki-Gordon Green tea. Frankly, I kinda
just took a glance and was ½ way to the next
tent but Debbie was already talking with Izumi.
I doubled back and saw Debbie forking over
$25.00 for a ‘bottle’ of tea and I was confused…
Tea in a bottle (?) - and costing $25.00? (!)
Well as it turned out you get a
LOT of cups of tea out of one of those little bottles!
More importantly; Debbie’s quality of life was
about to take a big step forward. Not to get too
personal, but Debbie seemed to have a VERY
‘Angry’ stomach & digestive system.
That angry stomach was also acting up quite a bit,
and often interfered with Debbie’s day.
Since humans ‘got to eat’ (like the folks at Checkers
like to say) you can see that this was an ongoing
problem - and sometimes quite painful.
To make a long story short – once Debbie’s started
drinking the Haraki-Gordon Green Tea she’s not had
any of those problems since! That’s what I’d call a
green tea benefit!
What ‘price’ can you assign to that? It’s hard to
say – and each person values their health a little
differently – but to us (and especially Debbie) you
simply can NOT underestimate the ‘benefit’ we’ve
found in using Haraki-Gordon Green tea.
That’s especially true because we know Debbie is
consuming a REAL ‘food’ so the only green tea side
effects has been better health!
As you likely know – EVERY single drug/prescription
in the world has side effects – which are often worse
than the symptoms.
Green Tea is NOT a replacement for a good Doctor
and proper medication when called for – but it is an
amazing ‘food’ that has been used for over 4,000
years for medicinal purposes.
That’s saying something.
Since then we’ve both become real advocates of
green tea – especially QUALITY green tea. That’s because
as we’ve mentioned – even if you experience only one
green tea benefit and the only green tea side effects seem
to a better quality of life -then why not treat yourself right?
Unfortunately for most – is still very hard to find top quality
green tea here in the states.
Needless to say – Debbie and I are looking to change
all that – and we’re delighted you found us! If you
continue to drink your Haraki-Gordon green tea
a few times daily – we feel you’ll also be VERY
happy you found us as well.
Again – Welcome!

Section 2: What’s so Special about Green Tea?
I recently did a Google search online for
‘green tea research’. I expected to find
quite a few pages but was floored by the
number of pages that did:
Over 3,300,000 pages!
No don’t worry; – I’m not going to try and fit
all of that research into a single newsletter – but
it should give you a sense that there’s lots of
research to back up what people have thought
and experienced by drinking green tea for themselves.
If we were to point out the biggest ‘hero’ ingredient
that’s in high quality green tea – it would be EGCG.
That’s short for: Epigallocatechin Gallate.
EGCG is actually a Super Hero in the anitoxidant
World.
How’s this for Antioxidant power:
· EGCG is 25 times as powerful as Vitamin E
· EGCG is 100 times more powerful than Vitamin C
· And it’s TWICE as powerful as current media darling Resveratrol.
