Green Tea

Anyone drink it? Currently have Barry's version with lemongrass. It's ok though :pac:

I sometimes drink it when I'm feeling slightly toxic after a bad day at the office (coffee machine). I find it refreshing, but at the same time it wouldn't be my favourite so I don't drink it regularly.

We have a coffee machine in work which serves up a reasonable green tea, but I have grave doubts about what it's made from - my understanding of green tea is that it should take a fair time to brew, so if it's produced instantly from a machine there's got to be something up with it in my books.

Other than that I buy a big box of jasmine tea from one of the Chinese shops around town and just make it up as required in the office.

Jasmine tea is also nice!

Twining's white tea with pomegranate - for the win.

I find straight green tea to be an acquired taste.

Incidentally, I get more work done on green/white tea than I do on coffee.

I'm a real green tea addict! Yeah, it's an aquired taste, but once you get into the habit of drinking it, you'll be flying it

I find the Lyons one much nicer than the Barrys, and it's way better value than Twinings or similar brands

I love it!!I could drink it all day. if you let it brew too long it can be extremely strong. I love the jasmine green tea and the lotus flower variety. Not keen however on orange version. Too fruity for me.

Entec

rooibos tea all the way..much nicer.

I find Green Tea too strong for me so i usually knock a teaspoon of honey into it. However i did find a nice alternative, it was Morocan Mint Green tea, was teh perfect blend of Green tea & mint. I got it from the Dilmah Tea range. Warning the mint green tea tea bags from Lyons taste like MUCK so dont waste your money!

I would recommend the Vanilla flavoured Green Tea sold in Lidl. Really good value and I love it. Give it a try.

Never really liked Jasmine tea until a Chinese friend gave it as part of a Meal, well worth trying it!!, great for a meal (instead of wine or beer) Believe me try it for a week and you will see.

I love green tea and drink about 10 cups a day! I hate milk and I'm not a fan of any other herbal type/fruity teas so it's the only tea I drink. Works out a bit pricey though! My favourite brands are Clipper and Twinings.
I haven't really noticed any health benefits though - I mean I am addicted to the stuff so I should be! Maybe I'm too accustomed to the benefits by now to notice! Has anyone else experienced any welcome (or unwelcome) side-affects to green tea? I have a friend who swears it gives her upset stomachs.
