Green Tea
Green tea is the dried buds and leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. It’s widely used across Asia, including China, Japan and Korea, but has gradually made its way to the Western world because of its incredible health benefits.
A 2004 study suggests that drinking green tea may encourage weight loss, and another study found it could prevent the onset of many types of cancer.
Benefits of green tea
There are many studies on the health effects of green tea, and they generally agree that the small but mighty buds and leaves are supremely beneficial. Here are a handful of green tea’s benefits:
Extreme antioxidant - Green tea is one of the most powerful sources of antioxidants you can find. It protects your body from free radicals, which naturally occur as you age. Green tea potentially lowers the risk of cancer caused by radical damage as you get older.
Great anti-inflammatory - Green tea is excellent for reducing inflammation in the gut, which may minimise acne breakouts and eczema. Drinking a cup also helps digestion, soothing bloating and cramps. However, many people find green tea makes them nauseous on an empty stomach, so it’s best to consume alongside or after a meal.
Improves focus and mood - A 2017 study indicates that drinking green tea boosts cognitive function and even enhances your mood. So, if you want to buckle down and get work done, pour yourself a cup of green tea.
Energy without the jitters - Green tea is naturally caffeinated. But, unlike coffee, it has a specific amino acid that slowly releases the caffeine. So, you get a mellow high without the caffeine crash.
May aid weight loss - Green tea has a component called L-theanine, which balances blood sugar. As a result, glucose levels stay regular rather than dramatically rising and falling, which can trigger hunger.

Pukka Organic Supreme Green Matcha
Matcha is green tea prepared slightly differently. The leaves and buds are dried and then ground into a fine powder. Matcha has a strong, earthy taste, is incredibly nutritious, and has roughly the same amount of caffeine per gram as coffee.
Pukka’s Supreme Green Matcha is a blend of green tea and matcha packaged in handy tea bags. All you need to do is add water or make a matcha latte (hot or cold!).
