Additional Informations
Yellow Tea, specifically Junshan Yinzhen, is a unique variety of tea that undergoes a slightly different process than that of green or black tea. Its impact on histamine levels in the body is not prominently researched yet. Given its fermentation process and natural components similar to green and black tea, questions may arise regarding its influence on histamine levels.
Green tea and black teas are known to delay the breakdown of histamine according to a review article published in "Food Research International" (1). However, it doesn't seem that yellow tea (Junshan Yinzhen) has been explicitly studied in this angle.
Yellow tea's probable histamine-releasing potential could be attributed to the natural tea polyphenols, but there's no direct evidence supporting this. Just as green tea and black tea can delay the breakdown of histamine, we could make an educated guess that yellow tea might share this characteristic due to the similar processing it undergoes; but this remains unverified.
Even though yellow tea consists of theanine, an amino acid naturally found in tea leaves which studies in "Neurochemical Research" (2) show has multiple health benefits, there is no direct research indicating it has an impact on histamine levels.
At this time, it is essential to note that researching the specific impacts of yellow tea on histamine levels in human bodies is in progress. Existing studies on tea and its relationship to histamine are primarily associated with green and black tea, not yellow.
Consequently, this product has not been researched well enough to publish any information, our team is working hard on this. Data will be available soon.
