Green Teas - in general

Fancy a cuppa? "Yes please" you say, expecting a warming dark brew with a splash of milk, maybe a spoonful of sugar or four. Instead, you are presented with a mug of milk-less liquid, a putrid-green insipid looking concoction so unfamiliar and featureless that you are inclined to throw it over your host. The mug looks more attractive than its contents. You think, 'you don't want me to drink this do you? What, are you mad?' Most of us have heard of green tea. It's been in health news for years and there have been numerous articles written on its properties and benefits. But still most of us haven't bought any, or even tasted it ...  Read the complete review

Tea to many is just an everyday drink; something to wash down a meal or relax with after a tiring day, but in reality it is much more than this. Tea is good for bones and teeth, and its vital chemical compounds have been found to fight against cancer, help stabilize diabetes and help prevent cardiovascular disease. It can even make your skin look healthier. You can drink it, medicate with it, cook with it, water your plants with it, and even keep your cat's litter tray smelling fresh and pleasant with it.

I have recently been having a try at different types of green teas, the main reason for this is that I drink a lot of tea and have been reading how some green teas are meant to be really good for you in different ways so I figured well if I am going to be pouring gallons of tea down my throat it might as well be of a kind that can do me some good. There are green teas out there that claim to be able to help lower your chance of getting cardiovascular disease, stabilize diabetes, fight certain kinds of cancer and much, much more.
