Green tea comes with a host of health benefits and is a smarter sipping choice. Twinings sells a number of green tea varieties with the Pure Green Tea and Green Tea and Lemon being the more popular choices in Fiji. Like all green, black and white teas, Twinings green tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant.
Weight Management
Green teas such as Twinings’ contain antioxidants called catechins as well as polyphenols. Together, these substances may help you lose weight, according to an analysis of existing research published in The American Journal of Nutrition in 2010. The study authors found that, on average, participants who consumed catechins with polyphenols lost about 3 pounds more than those who only took other regular beverages. Help maximise this boost by drinking your tea plain or with a squeeze of lemon instead of with sugar.
Cholesterol control
A number of studies have linked green tea consumption to healthier cholesterol levels, according to NYU Langone Medical Center. Specifically, green tea may lower levels of LDL cholesterol in the blood. LDL cholesterol can build up on artery walls and form a hard plaque that makes the arteries narrow and rigid. This condition, called atherosclerosis, helps set the stage for heart attack and stroke, which occur when a blood clot becomes lodged in an artery.
Possible cancer protection
Although more research is needed, some studies suggest that green tea may help prevent cancer, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Cancer rates are lower in regions where green-tea consumption is high, and preliminary research shows that the tea is a possible cause. Researches are looking at green tea’s role in preventing cancer of the bladder, breasts, skin and other organs.
Healthy tea drinking
To reap the full health benefits of green tea, Harvard Health Publications recommends drinking a cup of tea several times per day. It also recommends steeping your tea for three to five minutes to draw out the catechins.

About Twinings

Thomas Twining also opened Britain’s first known tea room at No. 216 Strand, London in 1706 — a shop that is still operational today.
In 1964, the tea manufacturing company was bought by the Associated British Foods, and is now one of the most sought-after tea brands in the world.
A visit to the Twinings headquarters will take you by surprise as you will find their director of public relations, Stephen Twining still at the helm of tea making. A tenth generation Twining, Stephen is there to make sure that the promise made by Thomas to his customers 310 years ago remains intact for now and forever.
