Health benefits of green tea

Each cup of green tea is a healthy brew of vitamins, anti-oxidants and alkaloids.  Besides plain old H20, green tea is thought to be the best drink for longevity.

Green tea contains vitamins A, B, B5, C, D, E, H and K, magnesium, zinc, chromium and selenium.

The plentiful polyphenols in green tea are free-radical zapping antioxidants. One cup of tea offers better antioxidant effects than a serving of broccoli, strawberries, spinach or carrots.  (But please DO eat your colorful veggies!)

Drinking green tea provides mental clarity and protection against heart disease, diabetes, stroke and cancer.
