Green tea is often said to be one of the healthiest drinks available today. Thought to help with anything from regulating body temperature to aiding digestion, it is a rich source of antioxidants. Green tea has numerous reported health benefits. It has been shown to contain high levels of flavonoids, which can have anti-aging, anti-allergenic, anti- inflammatory, anti-microbial, and anti-diarrheic properties.
Originating in China, green tea was used for medicinal purposes throughout Asia for almost 4000 years, and has since become a favourite in the Western world.
The traditional way to drink green tea, unlike most teas, is on its own. It can be sweetened with honey, but if brewed correctly it should have a robust flavour that needs no improvement.

For a strong taste without any bitterness, it is recommended that you let water cool for 30-60 seconds before pouring, so as not to burn the tea leaves. Leave the teabag to draw for 3-5 minutes depending on personal preference. If you find the taste to be bitter, allow the water to cool for a little longer, or remove the teabag earlier.
