The idea behind green tea mints is that the health benefits of green tea should be made readily available to everyone- including those who may not enjoy or want to drink green tea itself.

It is the antioxidants in green tea that are believed to be responsible for its healthy effects. Antioxidants have been demonstrated to protect the body against many harmful effects, and it is known that green tea has a very high antioxidant content. People who have high levels of antioxidants in their diet appear to have reduced rates of a number of serious conditions such as arthritis, heart disease and even cancer. There is also believed to be a beneficial effect on the immune system, and on the level of cholesterol in the blood.

There is a high demand for green tea products from the health conscious consumer. Taking green tea in the form of a mint is a simple and tasty way to make sure you are getting your daily “dose” of green tea antioxidants. Some brands are even sugar free and produced through Fair Trade.

Green tea mints come in smart little tins that slip easily into any pocket or handbag. This means that you can keep your mints with you when you are traveling or when you go to work, so that you can have one whenever you feel like it, and make sure that you get some of those antioxidants whatever you are up to. This is much more convenient than drinking green tea. These compact tins are also incredibly stylish, and can be re-used to hold any number of little objects once all the mints are gone, for example paperclips or hair pins.

As well as the pure taste of green tea in mint form, you can choose from a range of other flavors that are ideal if you are not a big fan of green tea itself but would like to get some of the health benefits of it. Some of the most popular options are tangy lemongrass and fruity pear flavored green tea mints.

Tiny, tasty little green tea mints are both a delicious, guilt-free snack and a great way of getting the health benefits of green tea.
