Her hair was very beautiful and black. The older Taiwanese generation used tea seed oil to care for their hair. This was called bitter tea seed oil because it was original, not refined yet. When women of the younger generation had a new baby, they used the tea seed oil blended with noodles to ensure the new mother's good health. In the countryside, medicine is not so popular and easy to get. When someone was cut or burned or scalded, the parents used the tea seed oil to treat the injury. I have very strong childhood memories of this. I remembered how tea seed oil had almost magical properties for both internal and external use. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Asia is the birthplace of tea and China was the first country to utilize oil extracted from the seeds of the tea plant for culinary purposes. Green Tea Seed Oil is used in China – and also other parts of Asia – not only for its diverse benefits as a primary cooking oil, but to nurture and protect the skin and hair. Green Tea Seed Oil is revered for its highly desirable unsaturated fats, to ‘season’ or condition cooking woks used in daily food preparation, and as an ingredient in natural skin and body care products. There are over 80 species of Camellia plants including the popular “tea oil seed” varieties (C. sinensis and C. oleifera) that have been commercialized and serve as the basis for not only tea beverages, but as the source of precious Green Tea Seed Oil. Early each winter, seeds from these special Camellia plants are harvested, cleaned and then gently crushed (cold pressed) to obtain their beneficial oil. The result is a delicious, nutritious and healthy vegetable oil now being presented to the western world by the renowned Tian Tea Gardens located in the pristine highlands of China. Green Tea Seed Oil is a natural vegetable oil enjoyed for centuries in China. This ancient culinary treasure is derived from the seeds of Camellia oleifera and sometimes Camellia sinensis. Occasionally a blend of oils made from the seeds of both species is utilized, but each is essentially identical for culinary purposes. The leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant are also harvested and processed to make black and green tea for beverage enjoyment, while extracts of Camellia oleifera are often used in skincare products. Green Tea Seed Oil is used in China as both a daily cooking oil and to nurture dry skin and other minor health maladies. Every winter tea seed pods from Camellia tea bushes and trees on the mountainous hillsides are harvested and the pods’ interior seeds are gently crushed for their beneficial oil. Green Tea Seed Oil produced from Tian Tea Gardens is cold, expeller-pressed without harsh chemical solvents from tea seeds harvested in pristine, high mountain regions . These favorable conditions help eliminate the potential impact of environmental pollutants found at lower elevations. All tea seeds from Tian Tea Gardens are grown without pesticides and are GMO-free (Genetically Modified). Green Tea Seed Oil is the ultimate heart-healthy cooking oil offering a light, delicious flavor that incorporates unobtrusively with almost any recipe or cuisine. Some describe the oil as having very subtle nut and tea-like aromas and flavors. The clear oil has a pleasant yellow to light-green hue. Green Tea Seed Oil serves as a versatile alternative to olive and other culinary oils used for sautéing, baking, marinades, dressings and much more. Green Tea Seed Oil’s relatively high smoke point lends well for frying and grilling (extra caution is always recommended when heating any food oils) meats and vegetables without adding a “burnt taste” that other cooking oils can cause. Due to Tian Tea Garden’s Green Tea Seed Oil’s natural self-preserving properties, it has a superior shelf-life without any additives or preservatives, even when stored at room temperature. For best results—yet easy daily use—simply close the container tightly to seal it from any exposure to air and store in a cool, dry place out of direct sun. Also avoid keeping your Green Tea Seed Oil on top of the stove or directly next to your oven. Green Tea Seed Oil’s mild, yet delicious flavor coupled with its relatively high smoke point lends itself to almost any recipe including roasting, grilling, sautéing frying, baking, sauces, dips, dressings and marinades. Green Tea Seed Oil contains a desirable nutritional profile with similar healthful benefits equal to and perhaps even greater than olive oil. A 2003 study of Green Tea Seed Oil (produced by Tian Tea Gardens) was completed by the Food Sciences Dept. of Clemson University comparing the benefits of Green Tea Oil to Olive Oil. According to a 2004 study completed by the Food Science Dept from one of Taiwan’s National Universities, it was stated that “due to its unique components, such as saponins, tea seed oil displays a number of remarkable antiseptic, fungicide, bactericide and lipid-lowering effects.” Green Tea Seed Oil does not contain caffeine.
