I would suggest you to go for loose tea leaves rather than tea bags if you are concerned about health benefits. This is because the polyphenols get lost during processing of the leaves. Chai and mighty delivers fresh tea leaves to you within a week no matter where you are located in the globe.

There are many flavoured green teas also, hence, no need to worry about the taste. Grab your sample now at https://www.chaiandmighty.com
