Don't drink gallon of tea everyday. It can damage your liver and the delicate kidney organs.
I trust the natives, not the Chinese or the euro-americans
John has round face so he never age. He just got his hair trimmed like the way he trims his plants. Look healthy. Lol
I understand green and white tea is Camellia sinensis sinensis, whereas black, oolong and pu-erh tea is camellia senensis assamica. May we assume you're bought the green tea variety css, and not csa?
So where's the video of "How to Grow Your Own Tea at Home"?
