緑お茶が大好き！！！！

Seriously awesome stuff. Can't get enough of it. It's my 3rd favorite drink below Dr Pepper and Pepsi.

Green tea... well, I'm not a big fan of teas. Watery flavour... not enough sugar... the only thing I really like about them is that they're a warm drink. I don't mind them, but I don't really like them, either. ^_^" So when someone gifted me with a box of green tea for letting her son pat our lambs the other day, I wasn't exactly thrilled. ^_^"
'Course, I haven't tried many teas, but probably won't go for green tea either. Mostly because teas contain caffeine (especially green tea), and ironically enough, caffeine makes me tired. o_O

Aside from all that.... <.< >.> ...Whoot for green tea!

Random strange facts like this have sucked all the joy from my life! :waah!:

I never should've read that National Geographic article...

I wonder if Oolong tea has caffeine. o_O

All teas have caffeine. It might be removed in post processing, but raw green tea leaves have it too. It's tea, after all.

Usually, I only have Green tea at Japanese restaurants.
I prefer HK milk tea, 港式奶茶. Smashing.

Tea.... I have lost all faith in you! *runs away crying*

Nothing about Green tea pleases me.

I prefer Southern sweet tea. I don't terribly like iced tea, and green tea is even lower on my list than that.

I buy mine at Asian Markets or specialty stores where they have a nice variety of loose leaf teas that have a variety of different tastes.

I drink all kinds of tea, but mostly green tea cold. Arizona's good for more than just bein' hot, I suppose.

I had green tea once. Not bad, though I wasn't wild about it. However, green tea ice cream is great. XD

>^.^< I like green tea with lemon in it!

Postby **Mave** » Thu Aug 25, 2005 2:43 pm

I drink whatever they serve in Japanese restaurants. I hope they're authentic in some way. <.< >.>;;;

Theres a recipie for that in my new cookbook. Since finding it on this side of the Sound is impossible I should try it. But I think I need Mattcha for that. I'll have to get some. =) It's my favorite ice cream in the entire UNIVERSE!!!!!!!

I LOVE tea! Loose tea is the best. I order it frequently from a person in Hong Kong. White tea (Longevity Eyebrow King) is probably my favorite but green tea is right up there as well. But I'm having a hard time finding a good loose Earl Grey and English Breakfast black tea. For some odd reason I can't find ones of high enough quality. So I guess I'll just have to stick with my white tea for now.

Ooo, what does white tea taste like? I'm curious!

Postby **bravobravoecho** » Sun Aug 28, 2005 12:15 pm

It's a lot like green tea except it has higher levels of anti-oxidants and such and it isn't as bitter. Don't get me wrong I love green tea but it can be bitter. I also like African Rooibos but I have to brew that in my coffee pot because the leaves are like little red evergreen needles so they slip through the holes in my strainer cup.

Oh thats the one I was talking about! Rooibos is awsome. Luckily I have a fine enough strainer that most stays in it. Looks sorta like coffee ground to me. My friend John got me some when i went to visit him and his wife. It's a really nice tea.

And Loose leaf tea is awsome. Is there a web site to order the white tea from?

I really love green tea, particularly green chai or green iced tea in the summer.My dad likes it too so we are hardly ever w/ out it. I drink it like most people drink coffee. Except now I'm a bit worried, I think I may be developing an allergy to it. But if I do, I'll always have my black iced tea, it rules the south, or at least where I live.

Now what is green chai? I've had normal chai (and love it), but how's green chai different?

Postby **shooraijin** » Mon Aug 29, 2005 6:36 am

Well, it's green, for starters.
