The people of Okinawa Japan are known to be the leanest, healthiest people in the world. This island pearl of the Pacific boasts the highest percentage of centenarians of anywhere on earth. Diabetes and heart disease are virtually nonexistent in Okinawa.
What's more, less than 3% of the Okinawan population is overweight, compared to 67% of Americans! And here's what's so amazing: over 70% of the Okinawan diet is comprised of supposedly fattening carbs, such as rice and lentils.
According to recent peer-reviewed studies, scientists now believe that the Okinawan people's unbelievable good health may be directly related to the fact that they consume more tea, per capita, than ANY other population in the world.
The average Okinawan drinks at least 2 cups of tea daily. Interestingly, this isn't just any kind of tea. This tea is Okinawan Tea.
Unlike your run-of-the-mill green and black teas, the tea blends popular throughout Okinawa are delicious and very rich in powerful, health-promoting nutrients, including catechins, antioxidants and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).
Scientists are now discovering these nutrients carry tremendous health benefits, which may help explain the truly remarkable good health experienced by the people of Okinawa.
Authentic Okinawan Tea is rich in natural minerals and plant compounds, including catechins, EGCG, and polyphenols. These nutrients provide the following support:
- Weight & Metabolism Support: Formulated to assist in maintaining healthy body weight and supporting body's natural metabolic rhythm through high EGCG concentrations.
- Metabolic Defense: Provides natural antioxidant support to help maintain healthy systemic balance in normal, healthy individuals.
- Cognitive & Emotional Balance: Supports mental well-being and provides a natural calming effect to help manage daily stress and focus.
- Immune & Cellular Health: Packed with powerful antioxidants to boost immune system and protect body against oxidative stress.
- Skin Vitality: High catechin content promotes healthy, radiant skin from the inside out.

Live to a hundred

"Yes you can live to be a hundred years old ... and be fit and alert while you're at the same time. The Japanese island of Okinawa has the world's highest prevalence of centenarians. Dr Bradley Wilcox from the Pacific Health research Institute has spent ten years studying why people in Okinawa live so long."

"...Mind you, in a far less severe way, our time in Okinawa showed clearly that you don’t have to go gaunt to grow old. The locals there have been essentially living a ‘CR’ lifestyle, in a more sensible way, for generations and the result is more centenarians per capita than any other place on earth. We met a beautiful lady called Chiyoko Asato who, at 110, is one of the oldest on the island (and the world for that matter!). She was sprightly and happy with lovely skin and a fabulous laugh that reflected a wonderful spirit. And in true Japanese fashion, she was insistent we polished off all the tea and juice and biscuits that she could muster. I left her home thinking if Dr David Sinclair could guarantee my 110th year to be that good, he will truly be creating a medical miracle."

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Okinawan Tea features a delicate flavour profile similar to jasmine tea, but it is noticeably milder and smooth. It is specifically crafted to be completely free of bitterness, making it an easy-to-drink choice for those who prefer a gentler tea experience.
-
No, they are definitely not the same. While you might see Jasmine or Green Tea from the region labeled as "Okinawan Tea," the authentic version is something much more special. True Okinawan Tea is made from Chuka-sansho, a unique plant native to the Ryukyu Islands. It is crafted using a specialized method similar to how Jasmine tea is made - which gives it that familiar, pleasant flavour - but the herbal profile is entirely different.
Authentic Okinawan Tea (Chuka-sansho) is the traditional longevity tea that locals drink daily. It is prized for its incredibly high concentration of saponins, acting as a powerful adaptogen. Standard Jasmine or Green Tea blends simply cannot match the specific health-restoring benefits found in genuine Chuka-sansho. When you are looking for the real "Miracle Herb" of the islands, it is important to distinguish this authentic tonic from common Jasmine or Green Tea from Okinawa. -
Yes, Okinawan Tea does contain caffeine, but it is a very low-caffeine option. It provides only about 33% of the caffeine found in a standard cup of green tea, offering a gentle lift that is much lighter than traditional caffeinated beverages.
-
While both teas are rich in natural minerals and plant compounds that may contribute to reducing excess body fat, Okinawan Tea is the more preferred choice if you are following a diet plan for diabetes.
-
While both teas are rich in similar natural minerals and plant compounds, Okinawan Tea is the more preferred choice if you are following a diet plan for conditions like diabetes, while Gu-Lan Tea is the prefered choice to be added onto a diet plan that is for cholesterol.
