Twinings Green Tea & Lemon

An important aspect of green tea is the way that the leaves are processed. Green tea is the least processed of all teas and thus provides a natural source of antioxidants, the chemical compounds that inhibit oxidation.

I have tried herbal tea's as a change but really did'nt like any as I found the flavours a bit overwhelming so I tended to avoid them................ until I read on one of my favourite websites www.whfoods.com ( Worlds Healthiest Foods ) about Green Tea.
