The Science of Tea

  • The Miracle of Tea

    The tea plant contains over 30% polyphenols, one of the highest concentrations existing in nature. Polyphenols have an antioxidant efficacy 200 times higher than vitamin E. They counteract the aging process caused by free radicals: molecules that attack cells and are responsible for 4 out of 5 wrinkles.

    Tea is overflowing with active ingredients that have extraordinary cosmetic properties. Most notably, it is a precious source of catechins, the most powerful polyphenols in nature, potent antioxidant activators that can boost the power of the naturally-occurring anti-free radical molecules in the body. Very recent scientific studies have highlighted this extraordinary power. But that’s not all. It also contains EGCG, or epigallocatechin, and vitamin C, two other natural antioxidants that fight those same free radicals and other cell-oxidation processes. Then there are vitamins A, B, E and K, as well as caffeine, theobromine, tannins, potassium, fluorine, zinc, magnesium and manganese, to complete its cosmetic action, by protecting, energizing, toning and revitalizing the skin.

    Catechins: The most powerful polyphenols in nature, genuine antioxidant activators that can boost the power of the anti-free radical molecules already present naturally in the body.

    Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG): A super anti-oxidant ingredient more powerful than vitamin E.

    Vitamins A, B, E and K: Protecting, energizing, toning action.

    Caffeine: Stimulating, lipolytic action.

    Theobromine: Energizes and speeds up metabolism .

    Tannins: Anti-inflammatory action.

    Potassium, Fluorine, Zinc, Magnesium and Manganese: For all-round cosmetic action: protecting, energizing, toning, revitalizing, regenerating.

  • The Colors of Tea

    All types of tea come from the same plant - Camelia Sinensis an evergreen tree that grows in the plains of high altitude, hot and humid climates. The separate types – or colours - of tea are determined by the geographical origin of the plant, the part of the tea leaf used, and the fermentation process applied to it.Teaology’s various formulas contain infusions and extracts from five types of tea each selected according to the particular needs of the skin.Originating from Chinese plantations, this precious tea is derived only from the buds and the most tender leaves of the plant, which contain the greatest amount of antioxidant catechins - EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate).

  • From the plantations of East Asia, green tea is rich in Vitamins B and C. Two cups contain more Vitamin C than seven oranges! It also contains minerals, amino acids and antioxidant polyphenols.
    Originating from plantations in South Asia (Sri Lanka, Ceylon, India), Black Tea is rich in caffeine, theobromine and theaflavins, compounds which have stimulant, antibacterial, lipo-reducing & anti-inflammatory actions.
    Grown in the mineral-rich soil of Chinese plantations only three times a year: winter, spring and fall, this Oolong tea combines the antioxidant power of green tea with the energizing properties of black tea.
    Matcha is a Japanese green tea that grows in the shade. Once harvested, it is ground into a powder in order to preserve its organoleptic and antioxidant properties.
