About Us
Hi, I am Ryan, and I am YOUR Green Tea Guy ...
I never used to be ... until Green Tea found me. You see ... it all started this year (2008) when I was in a very bad state, both mentally and my health.
I am overweight, unfit and was depressed. My life had no direction. I was working 10 to 12 hours a day. Sitting in front of a computer, and would go home and play games ... another couple of hours in front of a computer. Absolutely no exercise.
Of course, I started feeling worse and worse as time went along.
Then ... out of the blue my fiancé brought home some Blooming Tea. And things slowly got better.
First, we were captivated as the bloom opened up in the hot water. Secondly I really liked the flavour. From the Blooming Teas I decided to try Oolong tea, and was pleasantly surprised again.
I usually drank a minimum of 8 cups of coffee a day, which was changed to mostly Green Tea (with the exception of the first morning and occasional after dinner cuppa).
Within a few weeks, I genuinely started to feel better, could feel that I had lost a tiny bit of weight, and seemed to be a lot more relaxed (I even had fun at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town with some friends). The only thing that had changed in my life was that I was drinking Green Tea regularly.
And so my journey of discovery began. Why does Green Tea have such a positive effect on my life? The more I learned, the more I wanted to learn. And soon, I was not playing games at night after work, but researching this new awesome plant.
As I researched more information, it started to become difficult to find the information that I was looking for. There is a whole lot of hype out there about Green Tea, and most websites seem to buff up statistics and fabricate facts. The truth was much harder to find.
And then ... I stumbled across Site Build It! ... and Green Tea Health Benefits Exposed was born. By using the tools in Site Build It!, I found out that I was not the only person looking for Green Tea information on the internet - there are thousands of people in the same boat. They have the questions, and I have some of the answers. What better way to share my knowledge, than using Site Build It to build a website.
And so a new SBI Journey began alongside my discovery of Green Tea. A journey to effectively share my knowledge with the world. To build a website that works.
I still have loads of Green Tea questions ... so keep checking back, and I will still be providing answers.
Oh yes, of course ... You can also subscribe to our Site Blog (something else Site Build It! did for me, without me having to know anything about it) to get all updates to this website ... immediately. And there will be lots. Because I still have lots of questions.
And for some extra information (that you might not find anywhere on the internet), I send out the Green Tea Gazette Newsletter every month with something different about Green Tea and related things that could interest you.
If you have any questions, comments or suggestions please use the Contact Us form to send them. I am always happy to make new friends, and especially know what they think about Green Tea Health Benefits Exposed.
I still work 10 to 12 hours a day, but now I look forward to coming home and spending hours in front of my computer. But this time I am working on those Green Tea questions that need answers. I know that I am providing you with some of the answers that will make your life better.
And I still drink Oolong Tea ... every day.
