Plastic Bottle Green tea name Catechin Green tea

In Japan everywhere you can find vending machines for beverage. Japanese Green tea is not also exception. Currently so many types of green teas are available. It's really amazing and
sometime it can be difficult for us to know the production lineup. You will see various types.
Yes, Japanese Green tea is not unique at that point.
Whenever I buy plastic bottle tea, I would buy my favorite one from
Kyoto. But this morning
I tried other one which is named "Catechin tea". The color of tea is a little bit darker than usual.
Maybe I can say it looks like near light brown more than green. So how was the taste? Hmmm, well it was good, sweater than usual. This tea seems to include catechin 300mg plus amino acid. Japanese green tea might be improved more to focus on health issue
.

Good medicine for headache

This morning I had headache and stomachache cause of drinking beer pretty much last night.
And then I had to try getting out such bad situation. Otherwise I lose nice Sunday morning.
Whenever I have headache for alcohol, I always take much water & green tea. It's really effecti
ve to my body in good way. Japanese green tea is one of my good doctor to recover my health.(but I know if I give up drinking beer then I'll get better health condition→Mission impossible for me) Anyway I drunk two cups of green tea; Gyokuro from Kyoto. Gyokuro is high quality leaf. For me the taste is a little bit sweat. and ate matcha yogurt. This is one of my favorite styles to each it. Matcha is espresso powdered tea. I put them with yogurt in a bowl and mixing. If you have Matcha, I do recommend you to try this. I'm sure you will like it.
