WHY IS GREEN TEA SO POWERFUL?

According to the legend, tea was discovered by a Chinese emperor about 5,000 years ago. One day when he was boiling water a strong gust of wind blew some leaves into the pot. The combination of hot water and leaves created a mixture that he really enjoyed.

No matter how believable this legend is, the fact remains that green tea has become one of the most popular drinks in China. Nowadays, people all over the world consume copious amounts of it every day.
