Now that the sun is starting to shine a bit more and the temperature is beginning to creep up, Spring Fever is upon us. For me, it’s the intensely bright and inspiring new crop of Spring fashion that has me wanting to come out of hibernation and to start getting ready to show some skin. To this avail, I am amping up my intake of both green and white teas, as they both contain high amounts of the powerful antioxidant EGCG, which has been shown to rev the metabolism. Admittedly, I am a black tea and rooibos kind of girl – both hearty and comforting, especially during a cold, dark Winter. But as I look to Spring, I’m finding pleasure in my lighter cups of green and white tea. It’s time to lighten things up!
This past week I’ve been hooked on Dragon’s Well green tea. I love that it is not at all bitter, has a hint of a floral aroma, and finishes with an ever so slight nuttiness. It is incredibly nice and uplifting. And for white tea, you can’t go wrong with Silver Needle – the best of the best. The most pure and rarest of teas, it is inherently rich in character (without any processing, mind you), and you can just feel all the EGCG goodness streaming through your body after every sip.
Start drinking to be on your way to a healthier physique for Spring…or to simply feel a bit lighter and “Spring-ier” as we close out this Winter season.
