Jiuling Green Tea

Jiuling Green Tea is a protected geographical indication product.

　　Jiuling County has a long history of cultivating Jiuling Green Tea. This tea is deeply favored by the public for its tightly rolled leaves, vibrant green color, rich aroma, unique mountainous taste, tender greenish-yellow infusion, strong yet refreshing flavor, and enduring aftertaste. Recently, studies have discovered that Jiuling Green Tea contains selenium, with levels exceeding 25mg/kg. Research indicates that selenium is referred to by scientists as the “king of anti-cancer elements” among trace minerals in the human body. It forms part of antioxidant enzymes within the body, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining their permeability. Selenium-P protein can chelate heavy metals and other toxins, reducing their toxicity. Due to selenium’s strong antioxidant properties, appropriate supplementation can help prevent organ aging and degeneration, delay aging, enhance immunity, and protect against disease. Since selenium is an essential element for the human body but cannot be produced internally, the World Health Organization recommends a daily intake of 200μg of selenium to effectively prevent the onset of various diseases. This research has provided a preliminary explanation for the longevity of the people in Jiuling County.
