The Benefits of Drinking Green Tea

I actually started drinking green tea because I read it was good for bloating - something I suffer from frequently, especially since menopause. Along with other small lifestyle changes (avoiding fizzy drinks, onions and dairy and cutting down on carbs) I have managed to largely avoid the 9 months pregnant silhouette I was not loving. 

It's vital to brew green tea with the correct temperature water steeping for the correct time. Check with the producer for the correct temperature and steeping time for their blend but as a rule green teas tend to work best brewing for shorter times with lower temperatures of water to avoid a bitter aftertaste.

Green teas pick up flavours from tap or distilled water so purists should try spring or filtered water. to make the most of this tea. 

Different nuances can be identified in different varieties of green tea which can be drunk hot or cold. It can be nutty, herbaceous, slightly veggie tasting or even grassy. 

One type of green tea which is especially popular right now is matcha, often sold in powder form, slightly sweet and vegetal. 

Interestingly Japanese green teas are usually steamed during the production process while Chinese green teas are roasted. If you've tried green tea and didn't like it, try another brand or blend or choose a tea which has been blended with herbal or fruit ingredients.
