Winter’s Shield Taste:

Winter’s Shield is a fantastic combination of Sencha green tea, aromatic herbs, and spices that offers a unique taste sensation with alternate flavor volume and spicy aftertaste.

Rooibos

Rooibos comes from the plant fynbos in South Africa, consumed since the end of 1700. Rooibos contains unique bioactive phytochemicals, such as aspalathin, luteolin, and quercetin, which all have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-mutagenic effects. Polyphenols such as rutin and quercetin enhance the anti-inflammatory effects of rooibos in allergies and digestion.

Sencha Green Tea

Sencha green tea is a type of Japanese tea that comes from Camellia Sinensis. Sencha tea is produced by tea leaves exposed to the sun all year, cultivated in the shade for 30 days before the harvest. Sencha leaves are pressed tightly in shapes similar to a needle. Leaf covering seems to increase the chlorophyll leaves concentration, turning the leaves to dark green color. Camelia Sinensis is famous for the polyphenols used in medicine since ancient times. Sencha green tea is rich in metals, such as calcium, iron, magnesium, sodium, and zinc. There are catechins, such as epicatechin, ECG, EGC, and EGCG. EGCG is the most abundant, with almost 60% of the total catechin concentration. Green tea polyphenols present significant effects against a wide variety of microbes. EGCG and ECG prevent the growth of positive and negative Gram bacteria, eliciting an immune response.

Tumeric

Turmeric is widely cultivated in Asia, India, China, and other tropical countries. Turmeric contains curcumin, famous for its antiviral, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory effects. Curcuminoids, the main chemical turmeric compounds, regulate the immune system cell activation, increasing the immune response.

Olive leaves

Olive leaves are famous in the Mediterranean as traditional medicine. Olive leaves are richer in flavonoids, secosteroids, and polyphenols than olive oil or olives. The phenolic compounds in olive leaves have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-thyroid, and anti-cancer effects. Oleuropein, the main active ingredient of olive leaves, modifies the human immune response, increasing nitric oxide production in macrophages and producing potent antimicrobial and antiviral effects.

Holy basil

Holy basil, known as tulsi, is a culinary aromatic herb native to the Indian subcontinent. It has been a herb widely used in ayurvedic medicine for over 3000 years. Holy basil, the elixir of life, has therapeutic effects on many diseases, such as bronchitis, cough, asthma, headache, inflammation, rheumatism, and feverishness. The volatile oils and the phenolic compounds in holy basil offer relief of asthma symptoms, enhancing the immune response in healthy adults.
