In the hot summer of 2024, I found sipping cold brewed, iced green tea to be a better way to energize, a hugely more value packed way to hydrate, and hands down the most effortless way to boost my metabolism.

After 5 rounds of IVF, months of ante natal depression, and 2 months in hospital, I desperately needed my mental, physical and emotional health to recover asap, so I could operate at my absolute best for my 8 week prem baby, for my beautiful 4 year old turning 5 in a few days (just about to start school), and for my dearest canine companion who'd been struggling with lymphoma, and had been given just 2 weeks to live.

I couldn't afford negative tradeoffs affecting my sleep, gut or anxiety, and I wasn't willing to consume pointless calories that were counter productive to shedding the 'baby weight'.

It took me 8 weeks to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight, but the real win was in those early days, constantly sipping on green tea from my water bottle packed with ice and cold brewed green tea. There's a real sense of satisfaction (and relief) drinking something that tastes so refreshingly good, while knowing that you haven't compromised on anything. I felt energized during the day (without the usual coffee buzz), I slept well at night (in between mum duties) and it felt like my body was getting a deep detox from months of hospital food, drugs and stress.

Since those early days I've really delved into the science, and green tea really stacks up as the ultimate beverage for genuine, holistic beauty and wellness benefits.

I can't believe it's flown beneath the radar for so long, and now I'm on a mission to change that.
