Peppermint tea with fresh leaves (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Although I'm an avowed coffee drinker, I also like sipping on tea now and then for relaxation and detoxification. Teas have caffeine, but they also have lots of antioxidants. However, the best reason to drink tea rather than coffee is for their body cleansing properties. Detoxify your system with the following types of teas. #1: Nothing More Reliable Than Green Tea As the subheading says, you'll never go wrong with a cup of green tea every morning.
