What’s the healthiest form of Green Tea?

I heard matcha is healthiest, but I also heard sencha is good.

My personal opinion is that Gyukoro is the healthiest. This is what I found during my reading:

Gyukoro is considered the very best of Japanese green teas. The leaves are flat and pointed, that provide a smooth taste with a light fragrance. During the final weeks before harvesting, these leaves are moved to the shade…out of direct sunlight.

I got a Hibiscus Plant which is beautiful. The leaves have lately been turning yellow. Why?

I have several house plants that thrive but now this hibiscus plant has the leaves turning yellow. Is there something that I can do or stop doing?

It’s getting ready to go to sleep! The leaves turn a nice yellow before falling off but don’t worry, they’ll be back next spring..

Does Oolong or Green Tea work well for dieting?

All tea is made from the same plant, Camellia sinensis. Whether you get green, white, oolong, or Black Tea depends on how you process it. There will be different amounts of antioxidants and other chemicals in different varieties–but for the most part, the difference is negligible. If you’re drinking tea for health benefits, you don’t need to drink a specific kind–just pick a kind that you like.

You are not going to lose a significant amount of weight from drinking tea. Tea does speed up the metabolism, but that relates to almost negligible weight loss. Drinking tea will be a nice (and delicious!) supplement to a healthy and sane diet and exercise plan, and it certainly can help you avoid those periods where you stay at a certain weight, but on its own it won’t do that much.

There are several Herbal Teas that you can buy which claim to be weight loss teas. Stay away from those–while oolong will never be harmful, your average weight loss tea can be. Those usually work by being strong diuretics and laxatives, so you’ll drop a lot of water weight quickly, but not only will you have to deal with problems related to dehydration, many of them can mess up your digestive system irrevocably. Cutting out fats and sweets and switching to non-soda drinks (which tea can help you do!), plus getting out for a walk every so often is a much healthier – and effective – method.
