You've been a hero(ine) of mine for quite some time. I hope YOU can answer this question (it seems no one else can).
I've been reaping the benefits of green tea for about a year now, and I feel great! Just recently I began opening the tea bags after brewing, and putting the tea leaves in with the actual brew and drinking the leaves as well. Does this add more health benefits to green tea? I would think so! So far, no one has been able to answer this question directly. Please let me know if you know!
Stay Awesome Alice! May your boards hum forever!
