Health experts have long been announcing green tea as the healthier alternative to the daily cup of coffee. But is this the year their prediction finally comes true? The popularity of green tea formulas like matcha, and more unexpected varieties like green tea ice cream, there’s never been a better time to sample it, or stock a variety in your grocery store.
