The Miracle of Green Tea???

| I seem to be reading so much about green tea lately. I had tried it before and couldn't stand the taste, but this weekend I bought some flavored green tea and I really like it. I decided to drink a cup a day, then I started wondering how many cups is recommended. I found this article The Miracle of Green Tea. On page 2 it discusses how much to drink. Looks like I need to be drinking 4 or 5 cups at the very least.
Does anyone else drink green tea? Do you drink that much? |

| I just bought some of it, it also has some flavors with it--like cranberry and lemon. For me, this may have to be an acquired taste. The lemon one was pretty good. |

| I drink green tea every day. I don't buy it in tea bag form where they put artificial flavors in. Ugh. I buy loose tea from a local vendor and I buy the gun powder green tea. You would not be able to tell the difference between "regular" tea and green tea. The flavor is tea like and not unusual. I drink 2 cups in the morning and one to two cups in the afernoon. I don't drink it for an special benefits I drink it because I like it and if I get a benefit so much the better. Try real green tea before you decide. Don't drink tea with artificial flavors either. |

| There is a book from a couple who lost weight by drinking green tea. It's a very good book. It's called The Green Tea Lifestyle. There is also an article you can find here: Benefits of Green Tea. It mentioned about losing weight. |

| I like the gunpowder green tea too but mine comes in tea bags from a local tea and peanut vendor. The stuff in the grocery stores is like flavored green water compared to the gunpowder. |

My doctor told me to drink 3 cups of green tea per day. I start my day with a cup of good English tea. I LOVE PG Tips.
After that, I start drinking the green tea. Green tea is certainly very different from black tea and takes some getting used to. Also, I found that different brands have a very different flavor, so you might want to try some different brands before you give up. Also: it's very important how you brew it. With black tea, you want to bring the water to a full, rolling boil. With green tea, you want to use the water just before it boils. One more thing: while I love my English tea very hot, to me green tea tastes better when it has cooled down to lukewarm. |
