Green Tea Chinese restaurants

Princes.in - Whether you were introduced to this tea by family or close friends, through dining at Chinese restaurants, or from sugared-up cold beverages sold at convenience stores or supermarkets, green tea has become a staple of many Americans’ diets. It was not always so available, though.

For centuries, the peoples of China and India have been cultivating tea plants, crushing them up and using them as the basis of beverages both hot and cold. This practice spread, first to neighboring regions of Asiatic countries, then to Europe via the British imperialists. Today, tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world, not counting water, of course. It is estimated that well over one billion people consume tea at least somewhat regularly, which is great news when it comes to the overall health of the world’s population.

There are three main types of tea: green, black and oolong. Generally, these come from the same plants. The difference often lies in the way the teas are processed. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, “Green tea is made from unfermented leaves and reportedly contains the highest concentration of powerful antioxidants called polyphenols.” Antioxidants fight free radicals within our bodies. Free radicals are cited as agents of cell damage, heart disease, cancer and aging. In other words, green tea helps our bodies to fight against all the above ailments.

Studies have shown that green tea helps keep our bodies from developing atherosclerosis, or, the hardening of the arteries. It does this, apparently, by lowering the levels of cholesterol and triglyceride in our bodies. On top of this, green tea has been suggested by some studies to help prevent against cancer. While this has, by no means, been proven beyond a reasonable doubt, the studies that have been conducted suggest that there is a high correlation between intake of green tea and lower rates of cancer. Specifically, green tea has been shown to help with cancer of the bladder, breast, ovaries, esophagus, lung, pancreas, prostate, skin, and a few others.

Green tea helps to control the body’s blood sugar levels, and is therefore a great way to reduce the likelihood of developing type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Green tea has also been shown to help manage hemoglobin levels in people with diabetes. It has also been reported that the properties of green tea help to increase the metabolism and burn fat. The data from recent studies suggest that green tea can help with dental cavities, cold and flu symptoms, the body’s immune system, and overall health.

Green tea is not only healthy for the body in and of itself, but it is a great substitute for unhealthy substances such as soda and other sugar-heavy beverages. The western diet is so high in sugar that introducing a few cups of green tea in the place of any other beverage could do wonders for the average person’s diet.

Welcome back! What made Paris the right move now?

Princes.in - Adozen years ago, Frédérique Dessemond launched Ginette NY and opened up a whole new sweet spot for jewelry, right between costume and fine. This week she brought her designs back home to France, opening a boutique on the Left Bank. At a presentation of her latest collection, Dessemond took a moment to speak about fashion, her latest adventures in art, and her design.

Welcome back! What made Paris the right move now?

People had been asking where to find Ginette NY, so this move was the opportunity to showcase the whole collection, about 300 styles, instead of just a few pieces. We also have great stories that only we can tell. I’m not from Paris, though. I grew up in Marseille, in Le Corbusier’s Cité Radieuse, so it was hard for me to pick a place I really like. But who doesn’t love Saint-Germain? It’s local and it’s international. Everyone feels comfortable there.

Where are you planning to take Ginette NY?

When we started, we were the first brand to do gold between costume and high jewelry—at the time, that window was totally open and free. I think it was surprising, and that’s why it was so well received. It was a new experience—jewelry at the same price as a handbag or a pair of jeans, more or less. This season, we’ve added ivory ceramic to the black. I wanted two colors, and ivory is more me because it looks more vintage, and with the rose gold, it looks a little Art Deco. Lately, we’ve added diamonds to the mix to take it a little higher while staying in the realm of fashion and keeping the quality of design.

That’s a tricky balance.

It’s tricky, but when you hit all those points, you get something timeless.
Have you considered venturing into another area of fashion?

If I were ever to do something with fashion, it would be something like scarves and maybe just a limited run. The hard thing for me about fashion is what I call the Kleenex life—you buy something and get rid of it. Jewelry is more emotional than shoes or a bag. With gold, you are buying something that has value, so you don’t throw it away. If you melt it down, at least that’s recycling, so that’s not so bad.

What inspires you lately?

Right now I am working with Guillaume Paturel, a French artist in New York, so we’re sharing my designs to see if we can mix my designs and his art. Maybe the next step is doing something in a gallery. He’s a friend, and he’s spontaneous like me. I’d like people to think of Ginette NY as not just a jewelry brand but something you like to live with.

Are you moving more toward art? Lifestyle?

My first goal is to keep the brand’s authenticity—there’s always a story to share, and I’m interested in working with people I like and doing things in a way that feels natural. I like doing things that make people feel happy.

“Our Muslim visitors were constantly asking for a separate prayer room or a special menu,” she said. “We wanted everyone who came here to feel at home.”

To make that happen, the hotel had to go through a rigorous procedure before it could finally be certified halal by Muslim officials in Russia and launch the service this month.

But the extra work looks like it could be worth it.

These are tough times for Russia's tourism industry with the numbers of visitors — especially from the West — nosediving in recent months amid the worst East-West tensions since the Cold War over the crisis in Ukraine.

Industry sources set the drop in Western visitors, notably from the US and Britain, at 30 to 50 per cent.

That has sent hotels scrambling to attract guests from other parts of the globe — including Muslim nations in the Mideast and Asia that have placed no sanctions on Moscow over its intervention in Ukraine.

“We equipped 20 rooms out of the 308 in the hotel with a prayer mat, a basin for ritual washing and a small compass that indicates the direction of Mecca,” said Shiyan.

Those staying in the specially modified accommodation at the hotel, in the capital's north halfway between Sheremetyevo International Airport and downtown Moscow, will also find a copy of the Quran provided.

“Even the shampoo and soap in the rooms have been certified as halal and do not contain any animal fats or alcohol,” she added.

Two prayer rooms — one for men and one for women — have been set up and a separate kitchen will be cooking exclusively halal food.

“You won't find any pork or ham here,” chef Vitaly Ukhanov told AFP, standing in his small bright kitchen, with a sign with the word “halal” written inside a green star hung up on the wall.

“All the crockery is new and has never been used in the main kitchen,” added the cook.

Discretion, however, is maintained. Though Muslim clients are served at a separate group of tables away from the main buffet, there are no signs indicating it is a halal section and they are tended to by a special team of waiters.

'Services in high demand'

The investment has already started paying off for the hotel, which hosts many high-level Iranian businessmen.

In the first two weeks since its launch the hotel has already boosted reservations from Malaysia and Iran for the service.

“Due to the fall in the number of visitors from the EU and the US, the Russian tourist industry has started paying greater attention to people coming from Muslim nations,” said Samat Sadykov, from the Halal International Centre for Standardisation and Certification in Moscow.

“Creating the right conditions for them to have a comfortable stay here has become all the more important,” he said. “Halal services are now in high demand.”

Despite being home to some 20 million Muslims, Russia today has only two hotels — both in the traditionally Muslim region of Tatarstan — that are officially recognised as halal, Sadykov said.

One other hotel in the Black Sea resort town of Sochi is also applying for the status, after the 2014 Winter Olympics pointed to the lack of appropriate facilities to meet the needs of Muslim athletes like prayer rooms and halal menus.

“It is totally insufficient,” lamented Sadykov.

Other Sochi hotels, however, are now looking into offering similar features for Muslim guests, with the Olympic facilities set to host future high-level sports events including some of the 2018 World Cup football matches.

“If we now add in the number of tourists and businessmen coming to Russia from the Middle East, Turkey or Iran then we're talking about a truly enormous number of potential customers,” said Sadykov
