Five reasons to drink green tea every day

A cup of green tea is one of the simplest good habits there is. Here is why we reach for one every afternoon.

Calm, not jittery

Green tea carries less caffeine than coffee, and L-theanine softens it into a steady, calm focus.

Brew it cooler than you think: 75 degrees keeps a sencha sweet.

A slow cup, the way we like it.

• Use 3 g of leaf per 250 ml.
• Water at 70 to 80 degrees.
• Steep one minute, then taste.
