Hi,

I have a question about green tea. I put some tea leaves in my mug
every morning and have 4-5 cups throughout the day. Is it okay to eat
those leaves at the end of the day, or should I just throw them out?
I notice that if I leave them in overnight, they either dry up or turn
brown. The next day, I just throw them out.

But I was just wondering is there any benefits (or negative effects)
to just ingesting the leaves at the end of the day?

Thanks,
Brian

You should throw them out. I can't think of any health reason to eat
tea leaves. http://teameister.com/

A good answer. But- not to put too fine a point on it- people here who are
associated with the tea industry are usually considered rude if they hawk
their wares. While I appreciate your bringing your expertise to this forum,
the ad you placed above (this post confirms that 'Teameister Online Store'
was indeed an ad, and not simply a post giving an unsolicited opinion) is
rather out of line. Some people would see it as (rightfully or wrongly)
destroying your credibility on tea matters since any answer you might give
could be seen as self-serving. Please feel free to mention that you own an
online tea shop when relevant, but otherwise, it just doesn't look good to
include the URL in every post. If the tea you sell is good, other people
will be happy to mention it for you- you won't have to do it yourself. Some
people here actually AVOID buying tea from people who put ads on the group,
particularly when those ads dishonestly try to create the image of coming
from happy customers.
