green tea.

This week, I've been trying to drink tea at work... more specifically, green tea!

I've never been much (if any) of a coffee drinker and a lot of people drink it at work. We have a special little area for our coffee and all the different flavored creamers. The Administrative Assistant and I were talking and she ended up ordering a new pot for tea and a bunch of different kinds of teas.

While at work, I try to only drink water... that way I get my needed H2O for the day. But water can get boring and I find myself wanting a pop or something different. So I'm hoping that with our new supply of tea, I'll turn to that instead.


I've always heard positive things about green tea and that it has many health benefits.

- "studies suggest that green tea extract may boost metabolism and help burn fat"
- "drinking at least two cups of green tea daily inhibits cancer growth"
- "green tea and its extract have been shown to fight obesity and lower LDL 'bad' cholesterol"
- "incorporating at least a few cups of green tea every day will positively affect your health"

Part of being healthier is trying new things... and I'm excited about green tea! I'm glad there are potential health benefits (and if not, it'll at least be a positive alternative to the Dr. Pepper I turn to).

So far today I've already had two cups of green tea today (Bigelow Green Jasmine Tea)!
