For better health and an overall sense of well being : use liquid green tea extract when you are traveling. Benefits of green tea and tips how to use green tea drops.
Why use liquid green tea extract?
Why would you use liquid green tea extract when you have fresh green tea available?
It’s the same as asking me: why would you spend tons of money on an organic Aloe Vera extract when you can grow Aloe Vera in your garden?
- The answer is simple: you cannot put the Aloe Vera plant in your handbag or suitcase anytime you are on the go or traveling.
- Same answer applies to green tea: if you want to be sure to have a green tea in reach when traveling, do take liquid green tea with you: the bottles are as small as nose-drops and one bottle could last you a whole month.
Regardless of where you are: you do need to drink a lot of cups of green tea in order to have the same benefits of having a few drops of liquid green tea extract.
If you don’t like the taste of any of the liquid green tea extracts, then we advice you to buy concentrated green tea tablets.
How to drink liquid green tea extract
Read the label carefully on your particular container of liquid green tea extract and follow the instructions.
If there are no instructions, then follow these guidelines:
- standard dosages are 20-25 green tea drops up to three times daily, not longer than 2 weeks in a row
- use a glass dropper to remove one dropper-full of liquid green tea extract from the bottle. When the extract doesn’t provide a dropper, then you need to buy one from a drug store, a health food store, or an online retailers. Next time make sure to by liquid green tea extract that comes with a dropper!
- add 20-25 drops of the liquid green tea extract to one 8-ounce (250 ml) glass of distilled or spring water. If you don’t like the taste, then use less water and add some organic fruit or vegetable juice. Try different brands of green tea extracts as they all have different flavors.
- stir the green tea extract into the liquid, combine thoroughly and drink immediately.

Which liquid green tea extract do you buy?
When you buy green tea extracts, you have the choice between pure, caffeine free green tea and "more in one" green tea extracts.
The latter you see in the picture above on the left and the name is misleading: Green Tea Pure isn’t just a pure green tea extract, but it is mixed with liquid extracts from Goji Berry and Acai Berries. Personally I love the taste of it
Chi Teas offers "Chi Tea Ultimate Green Tea" (picture here on the right). Again not only a pure liquid green tea extract, but also containing concentrated natural extracts of Goji Berry, Astragalus and Lohan Kuo (a natural herbal sweetener, read more in Chi Tea Green Tea Extract).
If possible, buy organic green tea extracts. When caffeine gives you bad side-effects, then do buy a decaffeinated liquid green tea extract.
