Green Tea

Green tea is perhaps the most popular beverage around the world behind good old H2O. Legend has it that tea was discovered accidentally by Shen Nong, the Divine Cultivator, around 3,000 B.C. in China. He is credited with inventing agriculture and Chinese herbology. One day, leaves of the tea plant fell into water he was boiling outside his house. He liked the drink, found it to be a healthful beverage... and there you have it! Tea was born. This green tea from Triple Leaf Tea has a pleasing mild and aromatic flavor, without the bitterness associated with some green teas. The freshly picked leaves are gently heated, then dried. This process destroys the enzymes that would deplete the nutrients and keeps the tea leaves green. Green tea is a great source of beneficial antioxidants known as polyphenols, and experts recommend drinking up to 3 cups a day.
