Green Tea

I love tea and grew up drinking black tea. So lately I have been trying some green teas, one of my favorites is gyokuro, a Japanese green loose tea, by Harney and Sons Co. Very good. Take time out and sip a soothing cup of tea.


Looking for a simple resolution to improve your overall health? Start drinking green tea. My
beverage of choice, green tea is a potent source of catechins - healthy antioxidants that can inhibit cancer cell activity and help boost immunity. Need more reasons to drink green tea? It can also:
  1. Lower cholesterol levels and rates of heart disease
  2. Help protect against bacterial infections
  3. Promote joint health and stronger bones
  4. Reduce inflammation
  5.  Enhance the effects of antibiotics, even against drug-resistant bacteria and "superbugs"
Green tea is available in a wide range of varieties - introduce yourself by substituting a cup of green tea for a cup of coffee, or add a glass of iced green tea to your afternoon ritual and you will soon be enjoying the health benefits of this delicious beverage! Learn to appreciate the subtle fragrance of good-quality green tea and use teatime to unwind, meditate and take respite from your stress du jour.
