Me, too. I’ve been drinking hot green tea every day since the first week of May 2007. I use Kroger tea bags and drink it plain. I just boil a cup of water in a pot and pour it into a cup containing the tea bag.

My favorite green tea is Long Jing (龙井茶) that I bought in China. I am almost out. Good thing I am going back to China next Month. I am running out of the good stuff. Long Jing is also known sometimes as Dragon's Well Tea. I bought some Long Jing in a Chinese food store here... NOT THE SAME! The leaves should be small, about the size of a pine needle but a little wider. The taste should be slightly nutty and never bitter. I am not sure if this is good for you but I like to eat the leaves after several cups.

Yes, to me, green tea is an acquired taste, at least unsweetened green tea is, and I’m glad I made the effort to learn to like it. I have been buying it at Sam’s Club, two 100-count boxes of Uncle Lee’s Legends of China organic green tea for about six or seven dollars lasts me a good while.

I have hot tea in the morning. THEN I keep some tea bags at work and drop one into my room temperature bottled water and it flavors the water in a short while — I tell my coworkers it’s fluorescent tea (as opposed to sun tea). Again, I drink that unsweetened. That’s got to be healthier than those little crystal light packets folks are dumping into bottled water. And MUCH cheaper than Lipton’s flavored green tea that’s $6 for a dozen plastic bottles of tea.

I look forward to my mug of tea every morning. At least that’s one painless thing we can do for our health. If only I were as diligent with other dietary disciplines.
