About : tea

Green tea is native to China and is consumed in many Asian cultures. In recent years it has become popular in the Western hemisphere as well, in addition to black teas, because of its health benefits.

Amazing Health Benefits

Many scientific and medical tests have shown that when consumed regularly, green tea can help lower cholesterol, reduce the risk of heart disease and even some types of cancer.

Some health professionals also believe that it can assist with weight loss and a cup of green tea in certain varieties has more nutritional value than some healthy foods including fresh fruit and vegetables because of the amount of flavonoids it contains. Flavonoids, present in most plants, determine how anti-oxidative and anti-carcinogenic they are.
