"Gotō Camellia Tea" utilizing underutilized resources from Nagasaki Prefecture.
A diet tea made from two underutilized resources: camellia leaves and tea leaves from Nagasaki Prefecture.
Nagasaki Prefecture is also a tea leaf production area, and high-quality tea is cultivated that is on par with neighboring Saga and Fukuoka Prefectures. However, the second and third flushes of tea are often left unharvested, becoming underutilized resources. Additionally, over 90% of the camellia forests in the Goto Islands are considered unused, with estimates of around 9 to 10 million trees. However, it has been found that camellia contains functional components such as saponins, and ways to utilize it have been explored. The combination of these two resources, the "second and third flush tea leaves" and "camellia leaves," has led to the creation of "Goto Camellia Tea." It has been confirmed to have effects such as: - Suppressing postprandial blood sugar level increases - Reducing postprandial blood triglyceride levels This domestic ingredient is gaining attention as a weight loss material.
