Getting the Best out of Teas

To tea or not to tea...that is the question! I learned more about teas today and wanted to share. You probably already know green teas are great anti-cancer teas, right? They also are good at lowering cholesterol. Did you know white tea is the purest, the least processed and has the least amount of caffeine in a tea? And then red tea is the best for drinking when you have had a rich meal. It aids greatly in digestion. Oolong teas are somewhere between green tea and black tea with only a moderate amount of caffeine. And then there is good ol' black tea. It of course, has the most amount of caffein which is still equal to only about 1/3 the amount of caffeine in a cup-o-coffee! Then there is jasmine, which is a flower tea, American and Chinese ginsengs....etc. The list is endless. The Chinese use tea medicinally in many ways. One can increase circulation just by adding cinnamon, cloves or ginger to teas. These work great as natural sweetners too. Whatever your cup-o-tea, it gives a lift to these gray days ahead. So enjoy one with a friend soon!
