    Green tea has many useful effects on the health of people as we all know. A recent study in the United States of America has suggested that drinking green tea can actually help prevent heart disease in people. During the study, a group of people was made to undergo the so-called tea therapy, and consistent results pointed out towards the good effects of green tea. Scientists say green tea, which is made exclusively from the leaves of Camellia sinensi, may help in slightly lowering the levels of LDL or BAD cholesterol as a common person refers to it. The study showed how consuming green tea regularly could trim down 6-8 points from harmful LDL.

    The cost of Indian tea could soon rise significantly. The main reasons for this prediction are increased cost of fertilizers and increment in the wages of workers on the plantations of Indian tea. Today, tea retains its prices at a minimum bar for the last couple of years. Indian tea retains second place in the ranks of countries based on production and export of tea worldwide. Major importers are seriously concerned about the possible rise in the prices of tea from India, as suggested by the various news agencies.
    Experts point out that it may not be very easy to avoid an increase in prices on export of tea from India. Inflation is growing at a super-fast pace, making it necessary to raise the wages of workers. The fall in prices has been mainly because of the strong growth in supply in the face of sluggish demand. In addition, this year is notable for the lowest prices for tea ever.
