Green Tea

Does it taste nice? Whats it like?

I drink a lot of tea and i want to lower how much caffine i have in a day. So i figure green tea would be a great substitute.

I consider bottled ice green tea "soft drinks" since there is so much sugar added. If you like healthy green tea, buy those Japanese ones that comes in individual packet or buy Chinese green tea which you have to boil the leaves to make the tea. Chinese green tea is very good especially after you have a full meal. It does somehow smell like grass but it's refreshing. I have the name of the green tea in Chinese but I don't know the English name of it. (There are many many kinds of green teas). PM me if you want to know. It's kinda expensive comparing to tea packets. And I don't drink cold green tea, so I don't have any recommendations for them.

I've found that if I'm drinking black tea, I prefer it plain but I prefer my green tea with flavor.  Bigelow has a lemon flavored green tea that I enjoy and the decaf is just as good, if not better.  I just have a hard time finding it in my area.

Sometimes the flavour of green tea isn't strong enough or refreshing enough for me, so I make a big mug with one green tea bag and one peppermint tea bag. It is much better with loose leaves from a chinese market, but who has time for that in the morning?

As a side note, if anyone finds that they love the taste of green tea but think it lacks flavor, I'd suggest checking out  the loose leaf teas on http://www.adagio.com/

They're delicious.  If you think you don't have time to deal with loose-leaf tea in the morning, their tea brewing cup (search for "starter set") makes it really, really fast and convenient.  I ordered one thing from them and now I'm hooked...

I use honey as my green tea sweetner - yum!!
