Post Green Tea
Do you drink it? Do you like it? Brand? Benefits?
I am really detoxifying my body. I have lost 22 pounds so far just by doing the Wii Fit 4 days a week and cutting out soda. I want to lose more and cleanse. I want to find a green tea that is purely natural and not filled with shit.
I tried a brand which is a strawberry rose and it's pretty good.

yep. maccha is awesome, great with sweet soy-cakes, too. really oishii :D

but: you can't drink it on the fly, it needs some preparation, its thin powder, you need to stir it in the water, ideally with a special wooden brush made for it......very meditative, very zen, I love it.

btw:
the best japanese green tea comes from the shizuoka-prefecture. try to get these, like fukamushi and sencha "hatsumi".

I drink green tea pure, no sugar, no milk.
after boling up the water, I wait a little.
the water should be at about 80° (celsius)

A nice alternative is also oolong-tea.
(forget anything you knew about coffee... :D)

absolutely!
only make sure you don't dehydrate :)
(that happens to me all the time when I 'overdose' green tea or oolong)
if you like green, you like oolong.

Post Re: Green Tea
i had some green tea today because i had run out of normal black tea. i'd tried it a few times before and never really liked it, but it is actually so tasty. i'm gona just replace my normal tea drinking with that lol. still prefer it sweetened though, trying to cut down on my sugar intake.....

I make my own blend of gunpowder (type of green tea), jasmine flowers, and chamomile flowers. Super aroma.
