Try Something New

Nowadays the drinks of choice to wake someone up or give them that extra kick are coffee and energy drinks. People are far from uneducated in today's society and everyone seems to know how terrible energy drinks are for you, they just seem to not care. The copious amounts of unneeded ingredients are pointless for the drink and terrible for the body. Coffee, on the other hand, is the tried and true drink that has been used for years and years. But what if there was a drink that gave you that much needed kick and was incredibly good for you as well? Green tea is slowly becoming more and more popular with the health conscious due to its combination of caffeine and antioxidants. However, there are so many forms of green tea that it is hard for people new to green tea to truly appreciate it all. Don't go ordering a cup of bagged green tea at your local diner and expecting something incredible. Good green tea is not hard to come by and it isn't too expensive either.

My suggestion is to check out Adagio Teas. This site has an enormous selection of teas in almost every conceivable type including; white, green, black, oolong, herbal, and chai. For now we'll focus on green tea though, I'll talk about the other teas later on. Adagio's green tea selection is a bit overwhelming if you are new to tea and the thing that throws people off completely is that all of their teas are loose. The site recently introduced bagged tea which is their gourmet loose tea in clear pyramid bags. This bagged form might be a bit easier for people to use and ease into loose tea so perhaps that is the way to go. Loose tea is absolutely amazing, especially after trying a mass created bagged tea. The flavor is always strong and fresh, the aroma is terrific, and the overall effect is just superior in every way. My recommendation is to order the green tea sampler and a tea strainer to get yourself started. The effects of fresh green tea are fantastic; the kick, the flavor, the increase in your metabolism, and the antioxidants. Green tea is not only a drink that can help you out when you need to pull an all nighter or work late it's a drink that can help you lose weight by increasing your metabolism and it can keep you from getting sick as well. Give it a try, its flavor may not be for everyone but if you enjoy it there is no reason to settled for bagged tea when sites like Adagio exist. I'll be sure to post more about the other forms of tea in the future but for now go do your body some good and get yourself some green tea!
