Benefits of Drinking Green Tea

I’m recently taking a cup of clear green tea in mint flavor while taking a break from doing my household chores. I was surprised to see that there’s a “FEEL GOOD TIP” at the back label of my tea bag. It says “Meet your friends for lunch today”. Sounds familiar, it resembles fortune cookies wherein there’s a small note with words of wisdom or a prophecy wrapped inside. Tea manufacturer’s thought of different ways to attract their consumers. I’m used to drinking tea nowadays due its health benefits.


Green Tea is prepared from unfermented leaves from Camellia sinensis  that have undergone minimal oxidation during processing.
