Green Tea. The great medicine in the world of herbs. Originated from China, the goodness of green tea has spread worldwide to the West, Asia countries such as Japan and South Korea and even in Malaysia. Some Malaysian do not prefer green tea because of its "unique" taste. I would agree to that because it has a complex "rare" taste compared to our common black tea. But when it comes to goodness and the benefits in which one's health is concerns, one would rather choose to drink it.

For those who are new to green tea and yet to taste it's goodness, the following info's might take your interest.
Well, for starter green tea is quit different with the general black tea such as BOH or LIPTON (these two brands are the most preferred black tea in Malaysia) in terms of the taste. If I were to describe the taste, I would say "fabulous"! I would admit that the first time I tried the pure green tea, it taste really bad that made me vomited.. Ahh, what a painful memory with green tea. But the second attempt, amazingly I became addicted to the taste.
