I've been hearing a lot about the benefits of drinking green tea. What is it?

Green tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. It is a type of tea that has been oxidized, which gives it a slightly darker color and a more bitter taste than other teas. Green tea contains polyphenols, which are antioxidants that help to reduce inflammation in the body. Studies have shown that regular consumption of green tea can help protect against certain types of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.
