From Our Reading and/or Experience...

• Green Tea has historically been one of the top 3 best selling herbs in the world.
• We use it often in tea combinations to improve energy levels and overall health. It mixes very well with other herbs, but many prefer it alone.
• Green Tea should not be steeped for long as it renders its properties rather quickly. It also tends to get bitter if brewed too long.
• It can be used to benefit anyone: men, women (including before, during or after pregnancy, and nursing), children and animals.
• It can be used as often as you would like, and in any way you choose.
• As is the case with most herbs, Green Tea should be stored in a dark, dry, and cool place.
