The Pros and Cons of Carrot Tea and Green Tea

These days, it seems like there are a ton of options for teas, herbal supplements, and holistic remedies. More options is almost always a good thing, for many reasons. It’s a sign of prosperity, wellness, and better standards of living for the masses. The problem is, every option seems to do the same things: better health, better mental capabilities, faster reflexes, levitation, direct communication with God, and on and on (just kidding). But there are some options that are superior to others depending on what you’re looking for. In this article, we’re going to discuss the pros and cons of green tea and carrot tea, and why you might consider choosing one over the other.
