Green Tea ~ Red Tea

Indulge in the soothing ritual of tea this holiday season.

Green Tea is lower in caffeine than regular black tea, and is high in catechins, powerful antioxidants, with strong anti-inflammatory properties and the ability to reduce the risk of cancer and high blood pressure.

To prepare: Bring your kettle to a boil and let it rest for 3 minutes, then pour the water into the tea in the pot and allow it to steep for 3 minutes. Having the water temperature a bit lower than a full boil when poured on the tea leaves and only steeping for a short period of time helps to maintain the true taste of green tea.
Red tea (Rooibos) is actually an herbal product that is naturally caffeine-free, has a soothing effect on the central nervous system, and contains antioxidants not found in other teas.

Pour boiling water on the tea leaves in the pot and let it steep for 4 to 5 minutes. The result is a pleasant aroma, great taste and good health.

Red or green, both teas can be enjoyed on their own, or with a meal, at any time of the day. Raise a cup for good health this holiday season!
