I've been brewing tea and having an excellent time in my home office, making use of my tea pots (which is nice, as you normally only are using them when guest come around). But on top of the 'feel good' feeling that I have when I'm drinking tea - I'm also getting some wonderful health benefits from this wonder 'green tea'.

Decreases Lung Cancer Risk
In a recent study, Taiwanese researchers found that drinking more than a cup of green tea a day reduced people’s odds of getting lung cancer, regardless of smoking status. In fact, non-smokers who drank green tea daily had five times less risk compared with their non-sipping peers.
