Good day everyone, friends! Green tea with ginger and lemon - this is the drink we will talk about today. For many, tea is a daily drink, and sometimes almost an “hourly” one. Some people drink tea to improve their vitality, while for others it helps them escape from worries and take a break from troubles. For some, a cup of tea is a reason to take a short break from work and simply chat with family, friends or colleagues.

We drink black and red tea, with and without additives, hot and cold, freshly brewed and from a plastic bottle purchased at a kiosk on the way to work or to study... And any of these teas performs its function: quenches thirst, strengthens, refreshes, tones, heals, soothes.

Well, you ask, is there a separate tea for each specific occasion? Someone will answer yes, and they will be right. But someone will say no - and they will also be right, because one tea has all these properties, namely green tea with ginger and lemon.
