To determine whether ingesting green tea containing anthocyanins improves visual function and blood pressure (BP) in healthy adults, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was performed. A total of 120 healthy subjects, aged between 20 and 60 years and with a systolic BP (SBP) value of ≤125 and <155 and a diastolic BP (DBP) value <95, or a DBP of ≤75 mmHg and <95 mmHg and a SBP <155 mmHg, were randomly assigned to one of three groups. For 12 weeks, the placebo group received barley extract without catechin; another group received “Sunrouge” extract containing 11.2 mg anthocyanin and 323.6 mg epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG); and a third group received “Yabukita” extract containing 322.2 mg EGCG. Home BP, accommodation ability, visual analog scale questionnaires for eyestrain, and metabolic-associated markers were analyzed at weeks 0, 4, 8, and 12 of the intake period. The ingestion of “Sunrouge” tea significantly improved accommodation ability and eyestrain in subjects younger than 45 years and in subjects who operated visual display terminals every day. It also elevated BP. “Yabukita” tea ingestion significantly increased serum adiponectin levels. No adverse effects were observed. We conclude that long-term intake of “Sunrouge” tea containing anthocyanins and flavonols might improve visual function. Keywords: green tea cv. “Sunrouge” or “Yabukita”; anthocyanins; flavonols; eyestrain reducing effect; blood pressure elevating effect; adiponectin level increasing effect 1.

The subjects received 4 servings of tea bag daily, the tea bags in each containing 2 g dry weight of oolong tea or barley tea, or else water, for a period of one week. The results of a questionnaire indicated that ingestion of oolong tea improved symptoms of stress such as stiffness of the shoulders, fatigue of the eyes and headaches, as well as ameliorated the stress-induced increase in the number of errors in calculation tasks compared with controls. In addition, plasma cortisol levels were significantly lower in the oolong tea group (17.84 ± 2.46 µg/dl) than in the barley tea group (21.33 ± 6.47 µg /dl) or water group (22.95 ± 6.98 µg/dl). Ingestion of oolong tea significantly alleviated the vigil stress-induced increase in plasma lipid peroxide levels, which may have been related to the stress-relieving effects of caffeine or antioxidant properties of polyphenols contained in the tea.

  • Roasted Barley
    Roasted Barley Tea A First Report from Barley World The Barley Project at Oregon State University Looking for a healthy and tasty beverage with no caffeine or alcohol? Hot or cold, roasted barley tea could be the answer. For thousands of years a staple in Asia (maicha, mugicha, and boricha in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, respectively), it is both satisfying and reported to be healthful (1). It is available as whole roasted grain, ground grain in tea bags, and as a bottled drink. Examples of commercially available roasted barley teas. Roasted barley tea is finding its way to the West. It is usually available in stores specializing in Asian foods, or in the Asian foods section of supermarkets, but if you can’t locate a local source, it is readily available online (2). If you grow your own barley, it is worth experimenting with different varieties in order to discover their unique flavors, aromas, and colors. That’s how we got started with roasted barley tea. Having discovered that barley can contribute to beer flavor (3) we asked “what contributions might barley make to other beverages?” Roasted barley tea was a logical starting point, especially for our naked barley breeding program (4). Much of the roasted barley tea available commercially is made from covered barley, but naked barleys are renowned for making a premium product. Examples of covered and naked barley. From left to right, Full Pint, Buck, and BB99. The first step in our quest for assessing barley contributions to roasted barley tea flavor was to develop a protocol for making roasted barley.
