South American Green Tea

Green tea has been consumed throughout the world for over 5,000 years. While many enjoy the flavors, mental focus and smooth energy, there are many well-established health benefits to drinking green tea.

The most significant benefit of green tea is derived from the antioxidants, most notably EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate). Drinkers may also enjoy green tea for its positive effect on increasing our ability to burn fat. Dr. Nicholas Perricone, an anti-aging specialist, appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show and told Oprah's viewers they could lose 10 pounds in 6 weeks drinking green tea instead of coffee.
