I started drinking green tea after much encouragement from my Japanese stepmother. What was strange about drinking green tea was that even though I was totally unaware of the benefits at the time, I really did think I had struck gold as I realised how much better I felt for drinking it. I started noticing a few changes in my skin and well, generally all over within the first week of drinking it.
I have never been a tea person, the classical English tea was too sweet and I'm not one for caffeine. I've always been fond of Clipper teas, however I have to admit that the green tea loose leaves is my favourite blend, and I can assure you i have tried all the commonly found green teas around! Clipper Green Tea is a very light and sweet tea with a soft aroma, naturally caffeine free and its very smooth and refreshing tea to drink. Clipper Green Tea blend is the Chun Mee ad is said to be one of the most refreshing around, and I believe it!
I'd just like to mention its all Fair Trade and Organic!
How I drink it: I usually am very lazy (I admit) to drinking green tea in a big tea pot, I literally just pour hot water onto the leaves and allow the flavours to release, then I give it a stir and pour it into my cup through a strainer, and that's the way I like to drink it. As I said earlier that I was unaware of the health benefits of green tea, I just thought it was a eastern English tea, but green. Well, there are actually some extraordinary benefits from drinking it.
Health Benefits: Firstly its full of Anti-oxidants which helps prevent cell damage and has been known to fight cancers. It is also very good for your heart and liver, lowering blood sugar levels and generally helps you fight of nasty viruses by building your immune system. It is also known for speeding up your metabolism. It is also good for your skin. I know there are a lot of benefits to green tea, and don't misjudge them, I can actually honestly say that I feel 100 times better for drinking green tea very day, my skin more soft and fresh, My body feels looser and I definitely feel better generally all over.
Over all I give Clipper Green Tea 10/10 because Its everything you want and need. Its a totally unique tea, reasonably priced. I would say that you can buy nicer Green Tea from elsewhere, and you most likely can, but they are bound to cost at least twice as much as Clipper, and not be fair trade and organic! There's no need to for an every day tea really.
Clipper Green Tea comes in cylinder shaped packaging for 125g, which lasts a while, It's reasonably cheap but prices can go up depending on where you buy it from. I buy organic Clipper so its around £2.50 but you can buy ordinary which is around £1.40, however, this depends on where you buy it from. Ive seen prices up to £3.50. If you are just starting to drink green tea, I hope you carry on; you'll want to keep drinking after a week anyway. Anyone reading this because they are thinking about drinking green tea rather than the common English one, I'd start with Clipper!!!!
