Green Tea - The Benefits!

We have been sipping on green tea for many many years without even fully appreciating the benefits!

Many people dislike the taste of green tea, however we prefer green tea with jasmine for a more delicate floral taste.

There are many other blends and flavours on the market, which means there is something to suit everyone! (even salted caramel!)

Aside from the taste and warming up the soul on a grey day, below are some further benefits of green tea:


1. Powerful Antioxidants - these play a role in anti aging as it helps with wrinkles and also lowers the risk of various types of cancer.  Green tea also contains anti inflammatory properties which is also great for the skin.

2. Less Caffeine - means green tea keeps you awake without the feeling of being jittery when excess caffeine is consumed.  But it has enough caffeine to make an effect & improve brain function.

3. Increases Fat Burning & Physical Performance - known to be the most effective natural fat burner as it increases metabolism.

4. Dental Health - green tea can improve dental health and lower the risk of bacteria and infections. It can also help prevent cancer and Alzheimer's disease.

5. Regulates Blood Sugar Levels - high insulin spikes which result to fat storage are reduced.


You can also try adding other healthy ingredients to green tea such as fresh lemon or ginger.

Green tea can be consumed as little as 1-2 cups a day to 5 cups or more. It is important to note however it still contains caffeine therefore you may wish to limit your cups if you are trying to reduce your caffeine levels. Alternatively opt for decaffinated green tea!

Some of our favourites include:

• Jing Tea - Jasmine Pearls
• Whittard - Green Jasmine 
• Twining - Long Jing or Simply Sencha
• Heath & Heather - Green Tea Jasmine

With all of these benefits you'll wonder why you would drink anything else!

Sip away!
