It seems  a little filtered tea into at least one of your daily glasses of water could provide you with enough wrinkle-fighting antioxidants and detoxifying botanicals to keep you looking young and also feeling fresher than when you were 21.

Our skin is the largest organ we have, the secret of great glowing skin is to be healthy. Organic green teas have lots of polyphenols which can help fight free radicals and so help prevent skin damage from UV light, which is one of the main causes of  wrinkles. 

When we get a little older we have more exposure to UV light, and your skin can look old and it can even change the skins colour. In some studies Oolong tea has been found to have skin lighting abilities and may decrease the amount of melanin at the cellular level. 

Does green tea help your skin? 

Green tea can help ease the removal of extra fluids and also help accelerate toxin elimination, adding a little hint of grapefruit to green tea gives a sweet kick to the to it , and can also help to even out your complexion.

Perhaps one of the reasons we have a little feeling of pure pleasure is because tea drinking can help lower the post stress cortisol levels. Cortisol is a common steroid hormone and has many roles like controlling blood sugar levels and can act as an anti-inflammatory and also help to influencing memory formation and help control your blood pressure. Also Teas made with cinnamon can help curb some peoples appetite? How cinnamon works is not exactly known but it is believed that it keeps blood glucose levels stable and so reduces cravings, so adding cinnamon to food can help reduce glucose levels after eating .

This month our recommended teas are Chillout tea

 Chill out tea can be a great green tea, its a nice simple mixture of green tea, cucumber, mint, and is crisp and refreshing and helps at working in collagen-boosting antioxidants.

So Go On there are so many good things about enjoying a nice cup of tea,

Go On be nice to your self !

Going Vegan for Easter ? it can be difficult if you love your tea with milk , what to do ? find an alternative to milk or find a tea that simply tastes as good without milk , like Mrs Doyle's Irish tea !

We have had lots of questions from customers all over the world on vegan tea and lots of remarks from customers who tell us that because  Mrs Doyle's tea is so smooth and rich,  it simply doesn't  need  milk, and well it's true , and of course  you don’t have to stick to black tea either as there's lots of great herbal teas .

Also to day there is a a lot of dairy-free milk alternatives out there , easily available , in health food shops and  pretty much all supermarkets, too. If you do really need to have a really creamy tea here's a list of milks that go really well with black teas: almond milk, hazelnut milk, coconut milk, oat milk, rice milk, hemp milk and, of course, soya milk. They all have many health benefits but you have to try them to see what's perfect for your taste and it's definitely worth experimenting ,

So Go On try everything once ...well almost everything 

Can Mrs Doyle's green tea can help you lose weight? yes it can !  this seems to be due to the presence of lots of antioxidants and nutrients that can provide lots of health benefits.

Many studies have shown that green tea can increase fat burning. Green tea has a high concentration of vitamins and minerals, as well as it's low calorie content, which can increase  your metabolism so improving your body's ability to burn energy.  

The large range of antioxidants , called catechins can help burn fat and boost metabolism .As Green tea is full of  antioxidants which help combat cell damaging free-radicals so  boosting your immunity system. Green tea also contains an  ingredient known as theanine, which is  a type of amino acid , which can help reducing stress and again  this can help in losing weight.
