Deep-steamed tea is steamed for a longer period than regular sencha, resulting in a tea rich in health-promoting components such as catechins, vitamins, and beta-carotene. These components offer a variety of health benefits, including antioxidant effects, anti-cancer effects, blood pressure regulation, blood sugar regulation, cholesterol reduction, and relaxation. Kakegawa City, in particular, is known as a production area for deep-steamed tea, and its low cancer mortality rate among residents has drawn attention to the health benefits of this tea

Health benefits

Antioxidant effect:
The catechins and beta-carotenes contained in deep-steamed green tea are expected to remove reactive oxygen species and prevent cell aging and disease.

Anti-cancer effects:
Studies have shown that catechins have the effect of suppressing the production of carcinogens and inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells.

Suppression of blood pressure rise:
Catechins are expected to have the effect of dilating blood vessels and suppressing the rise in blood pressure.

Suppression of blood sugar levels:
Catechins are expected to slow down sugar absorption and suppress the rise in blood sugar levels.

Cholesterol lowering:
Catechins are expected to lower bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol.

Relaxation effect:
Theanine contained in deep-steamed tea has a relaxing effect and is expected to reduce stress.

Other benefits include:
It is rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, and chlorophyll, and is expected to have effects such as improving immunity, promoting healthy skin, and relieving constipation.

Deep-steamed green tea production method and health benefits:
Deep-steamed green tea is made by steaming the tea leaves for about 120 seconds longer than regular sencha. This method breaks down the tea leaf cells, making it easier to extract more health benefits such as catechins, vitamins, and beta-carotene.
In addition, because the tea leaves are finer, nutrients that are not easily soluble in water (such as dietary fiber and minerals) are also easier to absorb.
