Benefits of Green Tea
As we make our way into the new year and decade, it's time to get started on those resolutions to better your mind and body while making strides towards your personal and professional goals. Whether you are a firm believer in starting your new year's resolutions right at the stroke of midnight on January 1st, or you have a go-with-the-flow type attitude for the new year, we are here to cheer you on and help you achieve your goals where we can — starting with a healthier lifestyle.
In addition to our drinks being tasty and delicious, there are also many benefits you can find from drinking one of our premium beverages. Several of our beverages, like our Special-Teas and select Fusion Teas, are made with freshly brewed green tea, which is known to have several benefits. Recent studies suggest that drinking green tea may also help you live longer. Let's take a look at the benefits of drinking green tea.
Rich in Antioxidants
Because green tea is less processed than other types of tea, it can retain more natural antioxidants. As an excellent source of antioxidants, green tea has high concentrations of polyphenols and catechin, which can help reduce your risk of cancer.
Improves Brain Function
Most of us know and use caffeine as a way to stay awake during long days after sleepless nights. However, the caffeine you receive from high power drinks, like coffee, can make you overly energized.
Green tea contains caffeine at a lesser amount than coffee and other teas, which means it can serve as a stimulant without making you feel off-the-walls. Drinking green tea can give you the right boost to keep you focused and productive without your brain and body going into overdrive.
Makes Your Heart Healthier
Drinking a cup or two of green tea a day can lower your risk of heart disease. The antioxidants found in green tea can prevent blood clots and improve blood vessel function, which lowers the rate of artery blockages. Some sources also associate green tea with lower cholesterol.
Helps to Cut Down Stress
Because green tea contains less caffeine than other types of tea, you can drink several cups a day of the soothing beverage. Some studies have shown that drinking green tea can help lower the body's production of stress chemicals. A hot cup of freshly brewed green tea is just the remedy to bring your stress level down a notch.
If you'd like to start your new year by being more productive or focusing on your health, you may want to consider a daily cup of green tea! We use freshly brewed green tea as the base in several of our beverages. Are you looking to detox? Give our Nuoc Mat a try! It is a popular Vietnamese beverage made with winter melon artichoke iced green tea and topped with agar jelly, chia seeds, and grass jelly.
If green tea isn't your cup of tea, we are happy to offer customizable drinks to all our customers at Magic Cup. Choose your sweetness level or a dairy-free substitute for your drink. Our extensive menu includes milk tea, coffee, tea, smoothies, and more. Ask our baristas for your sugar level of choice, and we'll make a drink that's right for you!
