Well, I am not sure where you live, but you can buy green tea online at Halmari tea (https://www.halmaritea.co.uk/teas/ha...een-tea-bags/). They are a premium tea brand with superior quality tea sourced from the tea estates of Assam. You will also get it at a very affordable rate, much cheaper than your local vendor. 2-3 cups of green tea on a regular basis can actually lead to a lot of health benefits, including keeping diabetes in control.

Cheers!
