Green Tea and Its Benefits
Green Tea and Its Benefits
Green tea could be the refreshing brew that you’re looking for when you feel your energy levels hit the wall on a busy day.
What’s in a Green Tea?
Green tea is delicious, comes in many different flavors and varieties, and contains L-theanine, an amino acid that’s known to help increase your alpha brain waves (which happens when you meditate). Alpha waves flood your body when you meditate and are associated with feelings of calm and relaxation and—perfect for those stressed-out afternoons when you need to calm down a bit because you feel utterly worn out but want to get some focus without a jolt of caffeine in your system. Plus, it tastes awesome!
Green tea comes from the Camellia Sinensis plant. Various types of tea are from the dried leave and leaf buds of Camellia Sinensis. Green tea is produced by steaming and pan-frying the leaves and dying them after.
