Buy tea bags or loose tea. Choose from black, green, chai, oolong, and herbal teas, with caffeine or without.
Dark chocolate is frequently mixed with Darjeeling, Gyokura, Oolong, Assam, and Darjeeling. Milk or white is superb with Oolong, Darjeeling, Dragonwell, Yunnan, and Sencha.
Tea has always been used to relax, calm the nerves, and re-energize the body. Oxford studies have found both the tea leaf and cocoa bean improve focus and memory. Both are loaded with antioxidants to fight cancer and viruses, boost the immune system, aid blood circulation, manage and maintain cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and weight. Green tea has the added benefit of reducing the swelling and pain of osteoarthritis. Herbal teas have always been used for a variety of health and medicinal purposes, depending on the blend of herbs.
Tea was already a common drink by 200BC. Cacao was used by the Aztecs as early as 1100BC to make a bittersweet water. Now enjoy both in one sweet drink.
