Spill The Tea: Green Tea

A small ritual, a big reset.

Let’s talk about green tea — the quiet overachiever in the wellness world. You’ve seen it in lattes, iced tea cans, skincare serums, and even candles. But there’s a reason this tea has stood the test of time (like, literally thousands of years). Green tea is more than just trendy — it’s a ritual rooted in grounding, focus, and care.

So let’s spill the tea on what makes it so special.

Antioxidant Powerhouse

Green tea is rich in catechins, a type of antioxidant that helps reduce oxidative stress in the body — aka the stuff that happens when your cells get overwhelmed by pollution, processed food, and even emotional stress. One of the most powerful catechins in green tea is EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which has been linked to supporting immune function, heart health, and cellular repair.

Think of it like this: every sip is like a mini armor upgrade for your cells.

A Calmer Kind of Caffeine

If you’ve ever felt anxious or jittery from coffee, green tea might be your new best friend. It still has caffeine, but in a much gentler dose — plus it contains L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes calm focus. The two together create a balanced energy boost that helps you stay alert without the crash.

Green tea is perfect for mornings when you want to ease into the day, or afternoons when you need a little pick-me-up without the drama.

Support for Your Body (Inside + Out)

Green tea may help:

• Support heart health by improving blood flow and lowering cholesterol

• Aid digestion (especially after a heavy meal)

• Reduce inflammation, both in the body and on the skin

• Promote healthy skin — its antioxidants can help with acne, redness, and premature aging

Some people even apply chilled green tea bags under their eyes to reduce puffiness — yes, really. It’s giving spa day.

Ritual, Not Restriction

At POWHER, we don’t believe wellness should feel like a list of rules. We believe it should feel like relief. Green tea fits right into that — a simple, affordable ritual that helps your mind and body reset.

Whether it’s a hot cup during your journaling session or a tall glass of iced matcha with oat milk on your way to class or work, green tea meets you where you are. No pressure. Just presence.
