Stop Your Work，enjoy green tea

 

There are several steps you can take to lower the  Chinese Green Tea  caffeine content so you can enjoy the powerful benefits that green tea has even if you are sensitive to caffeine. If you are a person who is not at all negatively affected by caffeine I recommend that you skip the list and just read the last two parts of this article.
Always buy loose leaves and avoid teabags. The quality of the drink is always lower if you use teabags and worst of all it has a higher caffeine level. The loose leaves are reusable and can actually be used 3 - 4 times. The means money saved. At the third and fourth cup the level is much lower than the first one.
Get to know the brands. What I mean by that is that you should try to find out what kind of leaves different brands uses in their green tea. The younger leaves the higher caffeine content. The best part of the plant is the terminal bud and the two closes leaves. That part is the sweetest and has highest levels of antioxidants but it also has the highest concentration of the c-substance.
Make your tea half strength by using less leaves. After a while when you notice you do not get any anxiety or other uncomfortable feelings then you just make it a bit stronger or maybe drink two cups instead of just one. That is a perfect strategy for you to adjust slowly.
There is an even better tip then the three above. But let me first tell you a little about the great benefits that this drink has. The best part about it is that it helps your body to prevent cancer. It is the high levels of antioxidants that are responsible for the effect. It will decrease the chance of getting heart diseases. It can cure an upset stomach and it is also said to help your cognitive ability.
Now back to the tips I was talking about. You do not have to drink it. You get the some health benefits by taking a pill where the green tea caffeine content has been reduced to its minimal. I have taken such a pill for a while now and it works great for me. The pill, which is actually a multivitamin/mineral, has over 80 other healthy substances. If you think that it sounds interesting I have one final tip for you and that is to head over to my home page where I write all about it.
