Tea is GOOD!


I have decided to make some lifestyle changes and one of it is... drinking TEA! In the past few days, I have gone on a tea trial and I love the effect it has on me. I felt calm and relaxed. I drank mostly green tea and then last night, I tried peppermint tea for dinner. I must say I enjoyed the experience. I wonder why it took me so long to like tea!

I bought the following caffeine-free herbal tea from Giant Mall, Kelana Jaya:
  1. Twinings Green Tea & Apple
  2. Twinings Peppermint
  3. Dilmah Green Tea with Lemongrass
  4. Dilmah Rosehip & Hibiscus
  5. Dilmah Pure Camomile Flowers

Some tea facts:

  • Green Tea: Rich in flavonoids, substances with powerful antioxidants properties protecting us from the harmful effects of free radicals.
  • Peppermint: An excellent digestive herbs; good for stomach pains, dyspepsia, colic, nausea, and easing cold symptoms.
  • Camomile: Relaxing and good for bedtime drink; gentle on urinary tract and soothes any inflammation there.
  • Lemongrass: Good for digestive system and also for helping to relieve headaches.
  • Rosehip: Excellent during a cold as it helps to boost the immune system
  • Apple: A good detoxifier and is full of antioxidants, antibacterial and antiviral properties.

I will still be drinking coffee (I love, love coffee) but am now aiming to cut down on its intake. I want to drink more water and now adding herbal tea to the equation. Cheers to a healthier self!

  1. I'm a lover of green tea, Alice! I haven't tried those you listed except peppermint. So do the rest taste as good as well? ;) I tried some mango and berry teas and the taste of it are so strong.

  5. Unfortunately I could never get myself to like tea. I do drink iced tea but I don't like it hot -- something about the smell hits me wrong. It would be a nice alternative, though with all the many flavors.

  6. As a tea fanatic, I can only say good for you. As an evening drink you might want to try Twinings Camomile and Spearmint - very relaxing,
