Hi ILs , please help me choose the good and healthy green tea brand that is available in US. I am trying to lose weight and I heard with exercise if we add green tea it would accelerate the metabolism .. Let me know which one to select.. TIA.
You can get nice cheaper green tea in Chinese markets. Other brand: Touch Tea has very nice green tea and also in flavors like jasmine and mango. In case you don't know how to prepare green tea: you steep the bag in 80C water, take out the bag after a couple minutes...it won't get dark. Dont' use milk or make like boiled chai.
I drink green tea on daily basis. I haven't tried the lose leaves from Chinese market yet since I don't know which ones are better, but I tried Bigelow green tea (available in Walmart), Lipton green tea (I think even that's available in Walmart) and Tapal's Cardamom flavored green tea (Indian or Mediterranean store). Lipton green tea was very light and it didn't help much. I like Tapal's Cardamom flavored and it helped me a lot in cleansing, but it's costly too. Instead I started using Bigelow's and I add Cardamom powder on top to flavor it.
