Best time to drink green tea
Green Tea In Early Morning
Start your day with a cup of Svamingo green tea providing balanced uplift and sustained energy for productive mornings. A unique combination of low caffeine, EGCG antioxidants and L-Theanine natural amino acids found abundant in green tea is known to trigger calmness, focus and energy that sustains longer without caffeine jitters associated with morning coffee. We highly recommend green tea in morning for fasting days.
Green Tea Post Meals
Green tea can help boost metabolism due to its antioxidant compounds like EGCG and caffeine. Therefore, we recommend drinking 1 cup of green tea post 1-hour of meal time. It will not only help boost metabolism but also provide that midday energy to avoid post meal energy crash.

Brewing Ceylon green tea
-
1. Boil fresh water
Boil fresh water in a kettle or boiling pan until it is simmering hot (hint: bubbles start to form, 70-80c).
Pro Tips:
- Avoid over boiling water for green tea to preserve the natural smooth taste.
-
2. Steeping wisely
Put 2g (1 tablespoon) of loose green tea leaves in a pot. Pour hot water on top of tea leaves, close the lid, and let it steep for 2-3 mins.
Pro Tips:
- Use no more than 1 tablespoon of green tea leaves to preserve smooth natural aroma and slight bitterness.
- Steep no more than 2-3 mins to preserve natural taste!
- Add a small lemon slice or 2-3 mint leaves or 2-3 tulsi leaves in the pot, and let them steep together with tea leaves.
-
3. Pour or ice tea?
- Pour it hot in a tea cup and enjoy the fresh green tea.
- For iced green tea, open the pot lid and let it rest until room temperature.
-
4. I just love it cold
- Open the lid and wait until the pot is down to room temperature.
- Put the pot/cup in fridge and let it rest for 2-3 hours.
- After 2-3 hours, pour iced green tea in a glass and add few ice cubes on top.
Enjoy it refreshingly!
-
5. Avoid doing this
- Do not boil water more than needed.
- 1 tablespoon of green tea leaves is all you need, no more.
- Do not steep more than 2-3 mins.
- Add a slice of lemon or 2-3 mint leaves or 2-3 tulsi leaves from Step 2 onwards. Avoid doing so in Step 1 to get more balanced flavored green tea.
- Add honey when you are ready to drink it sweet.
