goji force green tea
just got my tea from fullyloadedtea.com and I’m trying the goji force green tea. its a nice fruity one which masks the grassy taste of the green tea which i like because I’m not a huge fan of the greens. the tea comes in those pyramid bags but really nice quality ones. it comes in a 14 pyramid pack (0.79oz) for $7.99 (CAD). pick some up and enjoy.
Domo Tea
I gave a bit of a review of this stuff before but that didn’t seem like enough so here is a full one and with a little background on matcha itself.
Domo teas are a matcha blend that comes in three flavors (at the moment) you has ginger kiss, vanilla cloud, and chocolate ecstasy. They are made with evaporated natural cane sugar juice and skim milk powder, which goes well as a latté or in a smoothie among other things and has only 20 calories per scoop (I’m not a calorie counter so this doesn’t mean anything to me). Domo is a Canadian company started by two women from Vancouver Tammy Olsson and Anne Yeo it can be found in western and central Canada and will be in Ontario and Québec soon but until then you can order from there website (US and international as well). There website also has a recipe section so you can make smoothies and some cocktails as well.
I thought I should also give a little bit of background on what matcha is so you know what you’re drinking. Matcha is a Japanese preparation of the carnellia sisensis plant by grinding the whole leaf, which is different from other types; this gives it the most caffeine out of all the teas. The tea is ground and the more finally it is ground the higher the grade is Tencha grade is the only grade that can be considered matcha all others are just considered pulverized. It can take up to an hour to grind 30 grams of the leaves so matcha is usually more expensive then other teas. It is produced in Japan in the Uji region of Kyoto, the Nishio region of Aichi along with Shizuoka and Kyushu. The plants used are shade grown and are covered with blankets two weeks before picking to protect them from any direct light. Matcha also has some of the highest antioxidant count out there with 70 times that of orange juice (fresh I assume) and many times that of green tea. Hoped you learned something about matcha and go out and try some of those domo blends there just great and one glass and your fine for the whole day it doesn’t make you all jittery like coffee.
green tea benefits
Just was searching around twitter for good website links and I came across an article on health by dratiffarid. The article talked about how green tea can help with weight loss, kind of figured though but the neat thing is it helps with weight loss even when the person is still eating junk food. Crazy eh, well I do not think your going to shed pounds when you drink green tea even when your shoving br. big bars and pizza pops in your mouth but it is good if you are trying to wean yourself off junk food and see positive results.
Here is a list of green teas health benefits:
#1 weight loss
#2 Prevents cancers
#3 Reduces risk of stroke
#4 lowers your blood pressure
#5 Prevents food poisoning
#6 improves your immune function
#7 it boosts your energy
#8 relieves indigestion.
#9 relieves depression and headaches.
#10 gives you a lot of stamina for hard work.
Therefore, it is best to drink green tea. You should drink at least 1 cup per day.

Just another reason to start drinking tea, I did not hear the last time coffee had these kind of benefits.
decafinated green tea: is it the same?
Does decaffeinated green tea have the same heath benefits as regular green tea? this is what i was wondering one evening, i wanted a cup of tea but i still wanted to go to sleep soon. What was i to do? i saw that there was some decaffeinated green tea in the cubbered so i made myself a cup, but then i thought does this actually have any benefit or is this just as good as flavored water. then my interests were tickled and i went a looking through the internet and i found that the decaffeinated alternative is just the same (minus the caffeine) except that the flavanols and antioxidants have a lower concentration in it meaning that you just have to drink a lot more of it. so thats a load off now I’m healthy and will sleep soundly… hopefully
Fuze Iced Green Tea: Review
Fuze is now offering a green tea flavored with honey, it also comes with natural antioxidants and ginseng. Along with the usual vitamins in all health drinks (C, E, B3, B5, B6,B12). It has the usual green tea taste to it and the honey isn’t really a flavour so much as just some sweetness, it comes in a plastic 547ml bottle and runs for about 2.50.
