Hot or cold, green tea is one of the healthiest drinks around. Next to water, tea is the most popular beverage in the world. You can trace its origins back to about 2700 B.C. when the Chinese emperor drank water with a tea leaf in it – and he liked it. (Cue light bulb moment.)
Easier than brewing, instant green tea is always ready to deliver flavor and those rich compounds that benefit your body. Actually, instant green tea is brewed before it’s concentrated, dried, and then made into powder. Next time it’s tea time wherever you are, try one of our favorite instant green tea blends.
They say it’s a “match-a” made in heaven, but we love the mix of vitamins, matcha, and moringa. Their ceremonial grade matcha has more caffeine than regular green tea, since bright green matcha grows in the shade for a month before the leaves are plucked. Moringa, discovered before the tea, is nicknamed ‘The Miracle Tree’ because of its broad health benefits. Add in a blend of B vitamins and you’ve got all you need for a quick, energizing beverage. This package of 24 single-serving sticks are vegan, keto, and paleo-friendly, too.
