Firstly, let me say, I used to hate tea and was a regular coffee addict until a couple of months ago whilst out with the girls, I felt left out being the only one with coffee and decided that from then on tea was to become my new thing.
Since then I haven't stopped, I'll admit that only green tea does it for me and especially mint green tea!
Never did I think I could replace my good old cappuccinos with a cup of hot green water and here I am brewing a cup as I write!
So what is green tea?
Well it originates China and is made from the leaves of Camellia Sinensis which is also called the "tea plant". (Yes I have done my homework!)
And since I have started reading up on the benefits of it, I am happy I've started.
All you coffee addicts or even traditionnal english tea drinkers listen up ...
Green tea ...
- Can reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease
- Contains antioxydants (everyone's best friend)
- Does wonders for our skin and helps with signs of ageing
- Helps reduce blood pressure and helps reduce blood sugar levels
- Speeds up the metabolism
- Can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's

How can you now say no to a nice cup of green tea? Try it for yourselves!
