Time for tea

Green tea is a dynamic drink derived from the leaves of the flowering shrub Camellia sinensis. Our fascination with this soothing and healing beverage goes back more than 4,000 years. It’s become a go-to home remedy for many minor maladies.

Even today, green tea continues to provoke study and praise, thanks to the antioxidants it contains. Compounds in green tea, such as catechins and polyphenols, may potentially help fight heart disease, cancer, and arthritis.

So sit down, brew yourself a cup, and learn about the powers it may hold.
