White & Green tea

[goregeous]

^me too, I always drink a cup of either green or white tea first thing in the morning when I'm getting ready, it's always before breakfast on an empty stomach and nothing has ever happened to me.

I think that's bollox to be honest Maybe there's more chance of 'fainting' or whatevs but it's never happened to me

Drinking green tea on an empty stomach is actually 'frowned upon' according to traditional Chinese Medicine,so yes,in part that Waiter could have been correct.

I always squeeze fresh lemon in my green tea, it gives it abit more flavour, and its a great way to kick start the day and the metabolisim. I think green tea with lemon is the best cure for a sore throat! thats the only thing I drink in winter!

^I read on a website that squeezing fresh lemon into your tea actually helps absorbs a lot of the antioxidants that would normally get flushed out.

I drink about 1L of green tea a day... It's 4AM right now and I'm still drinking green tea. No wonder why I have semi-insomnia

I love green tea, especially the peppermint.
I have never tried the pomegranate.

white made me so nervous but green is fine to me...

I tend to only drink rooibos (plain, without sugar or milk, as it is supposed to be consumed...) which I get from back home in RSA, since I found the stuff sold in the UK did not taste quite the same...I drink about 8 cups a day!!

I also drink peppermint / peppermint + nettle / camomile if I feel like another tea, but never "black" tea.

I tried Clipper's green tea, but I just couldn't get used to the taste - any recommendations on other brands to try that are readily available in the UK?
I also tried Clipper's white tea and was not too fond of it, and since the health benefits of rooibos are on par with white tea, I figured I was not really missing out on much, or am I wrong?

I drank more than 1l of green tea today My physian forbid me to drink black tea and coffee so now I have to learn loving green&white tea... it's not so bad actually

[michyed]

^Good for you!
Yesterday I had tons of matcha + black tea... I ordered a bunch of green tea, matcha and black tea online yesterday. They've arrived already Time to feed my addiction!

[Ryan Riverz]

After reading this thread I suddenly want to try green tea again, I had it a long time ago but it didn't become a habit. I'm ready to give it another try.

I want to order macha tea, but it's so pricey!

[michyed]

^Agh that sucks. It tastes so good. It's ridiculously cheap here though

[Daniel_]

No way! Damn.

[sarahkaloo]

I really wanna try matcha tea but it's very expensive here.. But is it worth it coz ive heard you lose weight and it's really good for your skin if you drink it 2 times a day.
