In this episode, I dive into the real tea on green tea. Its rich history, cultural traditions, and why so many Westerners brew it all wrong. We explore how green tea is harvested, the art of multiple short infusions, and how proper brewing unlocks smoother flavor and fewer tannins. I also break down the science-backed health benefits, from L-theanine and caffeine synergy to antioxidants like EGCG and metabolic support. If you’ve ever wondered how to brew green tea the way it’s meant to be enjoyed, and why it’s so good for you, this episode is for you.

Tea types mentioned: loose-leaf green teas include Long Jing (Dragonwell), Yun Wu, Bilochun, Jasmine Tea, and Osmanthus Tea. White Teas. Taiwanese High Mountain Oolongs, Tie Guan Yin (Iron Goddess of Mercy), Matcha

Supplements:

L-Theanine in capsule form or as powder and EGCG (extract)
