I've found I only like it when made with loose leaf tea. For some reason when it's in a teabag the end result is tea that tastes like paper and smells like spinach.

I drink GREEN tea every day. I know that it is very healthy. I do drink coffee too because I like it a lot.

I am not going to exagerate, so I do have balance in my life. Some people say that you should ONLY eat healthy foods. I don't think that you should only eat healthy foods. I think that you should have a balance everyday.

We should also enjoy the foods that we like.

<<<<<< drinks green tea, a few cups a day.

Funny, I was just doing a search on brewing tea before checking the forum. I am a recent convert to tea and loving it.

I drink either one cup of black tea or coffee first thing. Then I drink several cups of green tea thoughout the day 6-7.

In the evening I switch to camomile.

I have a nice big cup of coffee with cream & sugar every morning. I'm not the same without my caffeine > After that, I LOVE green tea, particularly this certain brand of Japanese green tea...

I once worked with a woman who claimed to drink green tea every day for three years and never got sick. Give or take she probably missed a day here and there, but still pretty impressive.

I am a coffee fanatic, but I have recently switched to teas because I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes (genetic, not fata$$). The result was being put on metformin, a metabolic inhibitor that keeps my liver from absorbing excess sugars - however, the side effect is irritable bowel syndrome. SO... my undying love for coffee was combining with the metformin to create... shall we say... an explosive mixture. I hadn't taken a solid dump in 3 months when the doc suggested that the IBS side effect was being exacerbated by something else in my regular diet. When I told him how much coffee and espresso I consumed, he laughed and said that alone would cause a normal person great difficulties south of the equator.

So, I cut down my beloved coffee and espresso to a single cup a day.... AAAARGH!!!

And I replaced it with teas, and in particular green tea.

I am sort of a fan of Tazo, but I am branching out to loose leaf.

Green tea for me about 2-3 cups daily.
Coffee 2-3 and Yerba Mate' periodically when I can get it,thanks to learning of it from our own Mr Says in the WF Alliance many moons ago.

I do need to cut back though as the caffeine just doesn't play nice with my fibromyalgia.

I like black tea better and it's about the same in benefit. I like a few sprinkles of clove in it, too. When I drink green tea I like to mix some chamomile with it - exceptional cleaning powers but it knocks me for a loop real fast so it's a bedtime only drink - or when I'm trying to avoid something I feel I'm coming down with.

Right now....it's coffee.

Green Tea rocks. White Tea too. Have them with ice! The best taste ever!
