GREEN TEA FOR WELLBEING YOUR WAY

Today, people all over the world enjoy the benefits of green tea. Fresh, clean, and packed with positivity, Lipton Green Tea helps you make the most of everyday. It’s the typical tea of China and Japan, where its revitalizing flavors have been bringing tea lovers moments of refreshment for millennia. 

Made from the same leaf as black tea, but picked younger for a fresher, lighter flavor, our classic green tea blend is a delicate balance of grassy notes and natural earthiness that makes for a hydrating mid-morning pick-me-up or delightful afternoon refresher. 

Is Lipton Green Tea good for you? 

Sure is! Lipton Green Tea benefits you in all sorts of ways:GREEN TEA CAN SUPPORT YOUR HYDRATION 

• The human body is 60% water and needs around 2 liters of H2O goodness a day to work at its best. Water helps the body optimize its organs, regulate its temperature and flush its waste. Green tea is 99.5% water and a delicious way to help you hydrate. Don’t let hydration be a chore: sit back, sip, enjoy!

 GREEN TEA CONTAINS CAFFEINE AND CAN FUEL YOUR FOCUS 

• With about a third of the caffeine of coffee*, green tea puts just the right amount of pep in your step. Lipton Green Tea benefits those who want to feel fresh all day.

• Green tea gives you the uplift you need to stay focused and embrace the day. Thousands of years ago, Chinese Buddhist monks discovered the benefits of green tea for meditation. Now, thousands of people all over the world are discovering the benefits of green tea for their own focus.

 GREEN TEA MAY HELP MAINTAIN A HEALTHY HEART

• Flavonoids are a group of chemicals that help to give plants their bright color. Did you know that a daily consumption of at least 400mg flavonoids may help maintain a healthy heart as part of a diet consistent with dietary guidelines? A cup of Lipton 100% Natural Green Tea contains about 150mg of flavonoids. That’s four times as many as a cup of fresh OJ! 

 GREEN TEA IS A CALORIE-FREE CHOICE

• It’s easy to reach for a soda when thirst strikes. But why not switch out your go-to beverage for a healthier option. Green tea packs all the freshness and all the taste, without all the sugar.

Unsweetened tea contains zero calories: choosing beverages with no added sugars in place of sugar-sweetened beverages can contribute to a healthy diet consistent with dietary guidelines. Looking for a twist? Mix things up with cinnamon and a minty twist for a new, chilled take on green tea. Here’s how! 

GET THE BEST FROM YOUR BREW

If you’ve ever sampled a green tea and found it a little on the bitter side, it’s likely because it’s been steeping for a little too long. Our Green Tea benefits from brewing in boiled water that’s been left to cool a little. This helps to coax out those lovely, fresh and energizing flavors. If you prefer your green tea to have a bite to it, steep for longer than 2 minutes.
