Tea is one of my favorite beverages. I love to drink a cup of tea in the morning when I first get up. My youngest son also enjoys tea when he first gets up. I learned to love tea when I was a little girl. My parents drank tea in the morning, the basic black pekoe tea with sugar and milk. It was a great treat to be allowed to have a sip of it in the morning!
In the summertime, our family drank a lot of ice tea, sweetened with lots of sugar! More recently we have started to drink flavored ice teas, and I have been trying to drink decaffeinated ice teas. My doctor has recommended that I consume less caffeine, so I try to limit myself to only one cup of “regular” tea per day.
As I got older, many of my friends encouraged me to try different flavors of tea. I had never heard of different flavors of tea! So I started experimenting with herbal teas, and found that I like them too! I usually add a spoonful of honey to them.
More recently I have been learning about the health benefits of Green Tea. I have heard that green tea has antioxidants which have are said to have many health benefits and assist in losing weight. Green tea is the only kind of tea that my youngest son will drink now that he is older! I like it with a little bit of honey in it; he prefers it plain. There is a green tea product on the market called Green Tea HP that is made from fresh green tea that is a blend of highly-concentrated green tea, noni juice, pomegranate juice, resveratrol and trace minerals. This Green Tea HP comes in six different flavors and is delicious hot or cold and can be purchased through their website at http://www.greenteahp.tv
