yea sure it's healthy why the f not.

The main reason green tea is consumed so widely is because it is a cheap way to drink clean water.

Its popularity is not due to it being "healthy," it's because the water in those countries is shit and drinking boiled water is healthier than drinking plain water.

Yes they want to drink boiled water because boiling water purifies water, makes it clean to drink. People don't drink tea because tea tastes better than water, or, at least, that's not how the tradition of drinking tea has started.

Oversteeped in my belly.
The combination of this Japanese green tea and an African green rooibos, accompanied by a scent of fresh fruits and flower petals gives you a rainbow of colors.

This pretty green tea from Japan is accompanied by green rooibos, a rare unrefined rooibos, rich in vitamins and minerals. It is embellished with marigold petals, rose and mauve. With a golden yellow color, its intense floral bouquet also evokes the freshness of orchard fruits, such as vine peach. On the palate, Belle Jour's bouquet also has some iodine notes and dry herbs.

He said hypoglycemia, meaning low blood sugar. Tea, like a lot of plants, can lower blood sugar levels. Normally this is a good thing, but if you drink a lot of tea on an empty stomach, I guess it could dip your fasting blood sugar too low.

[Anonymous No.10189006]

Matcha is a specific type of green tea, finely ground to a powder. You whisk it with water to make a frothy drink. Cheap matcha isn't worth shit though, make sure you're buying decent quality stuff.

[Anonymous No.10189037]

If you're in the US and want to dip your toes into the high quality loose leaf tea world i would recommend verdant teas. They have a 5 dollar sampler which gives you a pretty good impression of the different styles of tea. They also have pretty high quality teas in general, albeit a little over priced. They ship from the US so ship times are low.

Or if you want to go balls deep just buy a bunch of shit from Yunnan Sourcing. I've just started ordering from there but every tea I've had is high quality for a reasonable price. Buy from their US site for lower shipping times, just know the selection isn't as large as the Chinese site.

Highly recommend laoshan black tea if you like black teas. Cheap, good quality. Tastes chocolatey and malty, very smooth. Tieguanyin is an amazing green oolong. Very floral, sweet, delicious.

I will probably get a lot of shit for saying this on this weeb board but I have to say Japanese green teas are pretty overrated. I've had about 6 different kinds, including matcha. They're just incredibly vegetal and grassy, some way too astringent which I don't find pleasant. I think there's a lot more variety of flavors in Chinese green teas, and Chinese teas in general

Why do I always think the majority of Britbongs drink shitty 3 world teabag millings while the rest of the world who also would be able to afford it drink the better quality teas?

Some arguably go overboard too, like the japs, but on the other hand it might be quite a wholesome endeavour, too.

Cheap bagged tea is not good. Fine and well fermented and kept leaves can be exquisite. Green powered tea is not my forte, but I do have som I rarely try to experience further. It's hard to dose when I'm rather sensitive to caffeine. Kinds ruins the experience when I get wishy washy from too much stimulus.

I use to drink nothing but coffee all day every day. I use to have to pee every 5 seconds too, it was like I couldn't hold water down. I had dry lips, dry eyes, dry skin, just everything felt dry and I couldn't drink enough water, but I kept drinking my coffee. I decided to do a trick and one day I only allowed myself coffee 1-2 cups in morning. Then I didn't drink as much water or go to the bathroom as often. I felt much much better but there were times in the day I really missed the caffeine buzz. So I decided to do another trick and allow myself caffeinated green tea anytime before 5PM. It was magic. I could drink caffeine and no more pee pee! My dick thanked me, my lips, my eyes, everything is thanking me because your body is like mostly water and stuff. So do yourself a favor and drink a beverage that doesn't make you leak water all the time like coffee.
