time. It is commonly consumed in Asia as beverage, soup,

this is wild side of green tea. I love it.

News5: Shannon’s art work is taken out next week. 
If you haven’t checked her art work, this will be your last 
chance. Her style is very sweet.

Tea Fact1:  
Black Tea contains less than half of caffeine compare to a 
cup of coffee. Green tea contains half the caffeine of 
Black Tea. Herbal beverages are all caffeine free since 
they are made of plants, roots, flowers, barks, etc. Only 
yerba mate is the plant which contains caffeine. 
 
Tea Fact2: 
There are two different kinds of decaffeinating process. 1. 
Chemical process 2. Water process.  
Water processed tea still contains 90 percent of 
anti-oxidants. Chemical process do not, even it says 
“naturally decaffeinated”.  
 
See you later,
