Green tea is a drink -- with many variations and blends -- enjoyed by many cultures and people.

Green tea contains a variety of micronutrients: calcium, iron, and potassium. Green tea also contains polyphenols-- a common antioxidant (found in plants) known to aid digestion, brain, and cardiovascular health. It’s important to note that these nutritional benefits dilute when consumed as purely steeped tea.
Does green tea have caffeine? Yes! However, It takes roughly 5 cups of green tea to match the caffeine levels of a single (8oz) cup of coffee. If you prefer drinking cold brew, then the caffeine content is even less when compared to drinking it hot.
What are the health benefits of cold brew green tea? There is no difference between hot and cold. The quality of the leaf and steep duration determine the overall nutrient density.

Mint leaf is a common herb, that requires warm temperatures for its cultivation-- which Bali provides. Aside from its refreshing taste and smell, Mint is used traditionally as a medicine for treating minor stomach issues. Additionally, there is research that found positive effects when providing peppermint oil to a large group of participants as a remedy for IBS (irritable bowel syndrome).
In addition to its wonderful taste, Lemon peel is a potent source of anti-oxidants. There are studies demonstrating its ability to inhibit the production of bacteria, making it great for oral health maintenance. It is also used traditionally as a remedy to lessen the effects of an upset stomach!
This blend would not be complete without the addition of green tea. Green tea is another potent source of antioxidants and contains a number of health benefits. Furthermore, green tea is naturally caffeinated, giving you the boost you need to keep energized throughout the day.
We are very excited about Clean Green, and we can’t wait to share it with you all. It’s loaded with health benefits and tastes great. It’s best enjoyed after a meal, preferably after breakfast or lunch. We strongly encourage doing your own research to confirm any of the health benefits mentioned above.
