Its benefits would be multiple: it would act on aging skin , stress and help prevent cardiovascular diseases and even certain cancers . (This last point is still quite controversial.)
Green tea is also one of the essential elements of "detox" diets and the base used to make mint tea.

Solid green tea , Carrefour
Our opinion: Very strongly perfumed with lemongrass, cinnamon and ginger, you have to be a true fan of this mixture to be seduced by this tea. So you hardly feel the taste of green tea anymore. Positive point, this tea is from fair trade, a nice effort to emphasize
Price: € 1.41, the 25 bags
Rating : 2.5 / 5
Citrus flavored green tea , Monoprix
Our opinion: We must monitor the infusion time (no more than 2 or 3 minutes). A bag is better for a teapot than for a cup, so economical!
In terms of taste no complaints, even the refractory green tea will be seduced. It is therefore ideal for those who only seek the benefits of green tea without its particular taste.
Price: € 1.31, the 25 bags

Hubei China Grand Cru Green Tea, Destination
Our opinion: It is THE green tea par excellence, in rolled whole leaves of traditional manufacture. Perfect for purists and to find the traditional side of a true "tea ceremony" ... which explains the price!
Plus: this tea has no less than 2 eco-labels and comes from fair trade.
Price: € 3.30 per 100 gr.

Green tea with mint, Comptoirs Richard
Our opinion: Very good, fresh and particularly well proportioned it is one of our favorites! To travel a little more, we add some fresh mint leaves and it's almost like a Moroccan souk! A change of scenery unfortunately quite expensive paid ...
Price : 8,40 € the 40 bags

Green Tea Asia Temple Pink and Violet, Lipton
Our opinion: A very subtle taste, one feels very little rose and violet. This mixture softens a little the taste of green tea.
We like it enough but we prefer the version "petals of jasmine" Lipton, more classic but with more taste!
Price: 2,70 € the 20 bags
Rating: 3/5
White peach green tea Linea, Lipton
Our opinion: The taste of peach is very sweet, and subtly blends with green tea without a sickening side. The smell is also very nice. This tea is rich in catechin, so do not let it infuse too long the risk that it becomes frankly bitter.
Side line, it is guilt with this tea to 0 calorie that helps to drain!
Price: 2,83 € the 20 bags
