Green tea is not just another liquid – sure, it counts in your daily hydration dose, but it’s so much more than that! As you may have heard by now, it’s an antioxidant because of the polyphenols inside it, and it’s been linked with anti-aging effects. More than that, it looks like the infused drink leads to better concentration, increased energy levels, and even fat burning. By the way, no one says you have to drink pure green tea – you can cheat a bit with these improved versions, all of which conserve the benefits of the tea, but have a plus on the taste side.
