Tasty Bite Tom Yum Soup, 10-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12)

Customer Review: kinda Thai
really quite good, quite a few veggies--don't plan to make a MEAL of it, not substantial, but as opening course or if a protein source is added, very tasty
Customer Review: Tom Yuck Soup
I think my title says it all. This soup tastes nothing like authentic Tom Yum. It has a horrible smell and an inedible, rancid flavor. I'm thinking of draining the soup and using the vegetables in my own soup to decrease the waste. I can't believe those who left positive reviews - unless I got a bad batch. I'm not willing to try again to find out though. It's simply not worth the risk.

With the interest in Chinese green tea benefits increasing in Western countries, more studies are being conducted to verify the
traditional claims from China. Chinese people don't need scientific proof of the benefits of green tea though - they've been
consuming it for at least 2 thousand years, so they already know it's good for you.

Chinese green tea benefits are numerous - most are health-related but some are cultural, especially in China, the home of green tea.
Here, people drink green tea during meals to improve digestion and dissolve oil or fat in the food, and throughout the day as a
refreshing beverage. Green tea is also offered to visitors to welcome them into the home or workplace, and it's a common ingredient in many
traditional health remedies. Listed below are some Chinese green tea benefits, as well as common green tea uses, and tips on how to
make a cup of green tea.

How to make green tea (cup)

• Boil water (use as pure a water as possible and a non-plastic kettle) then let it cool for a few minutes.


• Place desired amount of whole green tea leaves in the cup & add a small amount of hot water. Swish the water around to
  wash the tea leaves, then tip it out.


• Top up the cup with hot water & let steep for 2-3 minutes before drinking.


• Re-use the leaves up to 3 times throughout the day by topping up the cup with fresh, hot water each time. Cover the cup when
  not in use.

Green Tea Uses

While there are numerous Chinese green tea benefits, there are also many traditional green tea uses, not just as a drink, but as a
skin wash, a mouthwash, and as an ingredient in folk remedies.

The caffeine content in green tea depends on the type of tea, brewing time in the cup or pot, and what part of the plant the leaf is
from. One cup of green tea may contain 20-40mg of caffeine - a cup of coffee may contain
100mg or more. Unless you have a medical condition or are taking medication requiring you to limit your caffeine intake, you
shouldn't be too concerned about the caffeine content in green tea. What you should do is replace coffee (which does far
more harm than good) with 3-5cups a day of green tea - there are so many Chinese green tea benefits you're really missing out if
you don't drink it.

2. Green tea, garlic and natural brown sugar - to kill germs and resolve toxins.
