Description: "Tea is a plant with many beneficial qualities for one's health and spirit. In fact, the long life span of people in China has been associated with the population's regular intake of green tea. Healthier than coffee and with a positively stimulating or relaxing effect--according to the length of boiling time--the vitamins and flavonoids in this infusion are not only healthy but also help in fighting free radicals.
