I've been a big tea drinker since I was a child. We lived next door to my grandparents and whenever I popped in for a visit, Grandma would brew us a pot of tea. Back then, we drank black or green tea made from tea leaves, and sometimes she'd make mint tea from her own plants. My Grandma lived to be 91 years old with good health right up till her last year, and I think her love of tea was a contributing factor.
Now that I'm in my mid fifties, watching my caffeine intake has become important. Regular decaffeinated teas don't work for me because the caffeine is removed by a chemical process. I drink only natural and organic teas.
As I've mentioned in previous posts, my goal is to avoid any prescription drugs as I age, and herbal supplements can be very beneficial in the fight against diseases. And naturally, I want these supplements to come from organic herbs. Organic India provides a full line of USDA certified organic teas and herbal supplements. Not only do their products impress me, as a company they are committed to providing sustainable agriculture in India, and pay a premium market rate to the farmers, which in turn provides the farmer with a living wage.
If you're not a tea drinker, I recommend you give it a try. Tea is full of antioxidants which fight free radicals in the body, so it's a good way to protect your health.
