T42

I always stopped by Esquire
But the drink I order most of the time is not coffee but tea

I love the Lemon & Honey Green Tea
No matter which brand….

I like this one
Probably because the lemon and honey really stand out

I was reading the label on the bottle
just realised that this brand has been brewing tea for 70 years!!! (Wow!)

Still
I think it is little bit too sweet when compare with Lipton
probably they use real sugar cane?!

Blueberry Green Tea

Hee hee…I finally have time to buy new flavour of tea.

I like this packaging, becaues I can choose how much tea I want to buy
Also, for first time, if I don’t know whether I like the tea or not,  so this package allows me to choose how much I want…may be enough for a cup or two.  If I don’t like it, I don’t have to throw the rest away.

That’s why I like this shop so much.
1st: Blueberry Green tea

   

It is a type of green tea and should brew for 2 mins.

Comment: Fresh, a light flavour taste of blueberry, but it is strong enough to stay in the mouth
I think best time drinking it probably in Spring or early Summer…when enjoying the sun and the breeze…

If I could have a piece of blueberry cheesecake, that would be great. (I don’t know.but just feel like to have a piece of American cheesecake only) I am not an expert of food pairing.

Green tea & Weight loss

Ok, so this month (January) for the US is the National Hot Tea Month,
becoz they did a study show that tea helped weight loss.

Hm…

Some people even suggested that, after having a meal, drink a cup of tea may increase your metabolic rate, which I guess it is true.

But don’t forget in previous entry, it actually didn’t do you good, becoz tea could reduce the absorption of iron & protein from the food that you just have. Totally not good for digestion.

Also, the FDA still hasn’t release or have any report on the number of dose of green tea we could have.
Therefore, there is still a potential risk if drinking too much green tea

Good things about green tea:

- preventing/treating cancer
- stop certain neurodegenerative disease; Alzhemier
- Prevent degradation of cell membrances, i.e free radical
- treat multiple sclerosis, arthristis
- Fight viral infection

So I guess, even though there are studies prove certain things and other studies against those studies…we should never over eating/drinking certain amount of stuff, i.e. orange juice is good for you, but if you drink too much, it is going to be harmful to your body.so…
