As an avid tea drinker, I thought I’d share some benefits from tea that might persuade others to start drinking it as well ;D It tastes great and it’s very healthy!

These are the teas I mainly drink but check out the site if you want to learn more! There’s a tea for insane amounts of disorders and ailments. My only suggestion is to avoid “dieter’s tea” unless you are suffering from constipation because it is basically a laxative.
As for sweetening, I suggest honey or a small sprinkle of sugar. Just don’t overdo it. And for the best results, I suggest loose leaf if you can afford it. It tastes better that way. If not, it still tastes great from a tea bag.
