The Science Behind Green Tea’s Wellness Benefits
Heart Health Support
A study published in Frontiers in Nutrition reviewed randomized controlled studies on green tea and heart health. Researchers found that while triglyceride levels were unaffected, regular green tea consumption had a meaningful impact on total cholesterol. LDL levels were reduced and HDL levels improved, showing that consistent green tea intake can positively support heart health.
Cognitive Clarity and Brain Health
Research published in Neuroepidemiology analyzed studies examining green tea’s effects on cognitive health later in life. Participants included a range of tea drinkers, from those who had no green tea to those who drank up to five cups per day. Findings showed a measurable reduction in the risk of cognitive decline disorders such as dementia or Alzheimer’s among those who regularly drank green tea. While the specific mechanisms are still being explored, researchers suggest that polyphenols found in green tea may play an important role in helping protect overall brain function.
Relaxation and Sleep Connection
In a study featured in Nutrition & Food Science Advances, researchers reviewed existing studies examining green tea’s effect on sleep and mood. Across eight qualifying studies, participants reported improved mood within two hours of drinking green tea, along with feelings of relaxation and less fatigue compared to caffeine or placebo. Although sleep results were inconsistent due to differences in study methods, the findings suggest that green tea may promote relaxation and balanced energy.
Include Green Tea At Your Next Party
Green tea is more than something you sip, it’s an invitation to get creative and bring a sense of balance and brightness to every occasion. Beyond the cup, Bigelow Green Tea can transform into something unexpected from fun cocktails and mocktails and refreshing party beverages to using green tea as a flavorful twist in your favorite dishes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Green Tea
What does green tea taste like?
Bigelow Green Tea has a smooth, light, and delicate flavor with no bitterness. It is mild enough to enjoy plain and versatile enough to pair with lemon, ginger, or a touch of honey.
How do you brew green tea?
Bigelow Tea recommends using water that is just below boiling for green tea. Steep your tea bag for 1 to 3 minutes. Steep times are always listed on Bigelow Tea packaging, so check the box for the exact recommendation for your blend.
How much caffeine is in Bigelow Green Tea?
Green tea contains less caffeine than black tea or coffee, making it a lighter option for any time of day. The natural amino acid l-theanine in green tea works alongside caffeine to support a calm, steady feeling rather than a sharp spike.
Can you drink green tea every day?
Yes. Green tea is well suited for daily enjoyment. Research included in this article looked at participants who drank green tea regularly, including up to five cups per day, and found associations with positive outcomes for mood, cognitive health, and cholesterol levels.
What is the difference between green tea and black tea?
Both green and black tea come from the same plant, Camellia sinensis. What makes them different is how the leaves are processed. Black tea leaves are oxidized, which darkens their color and creates a richer, more robust flavor. Green tea leaves go through minimal oxidation, which preserves their lighter color and contributes to that smooth, delicate taste. For a deeper look, read Bigelow Tea's blog on the differences between green and black tea.
Whether you are seeking calm, focus, or a flavorful new ritual, Bigelow Green Tea is the simple, delicious choice that meets the moment.
