Canada Dry makes a ginger ale-green tea mix. It’s awesome.

Actually, the Lipton bottled diet Green Tea is excellent. They have non-carbonated citrus and raspberry and two carbonated flavors.
Twinings English Green Tea is very good hot tea.

I got hooked a year ago. Welcome to the club.

Are you solely hot tea, or have you discovered cold yet?

Try a Chinese grocery store, or a specialty shop like Teavana.

Personally, I prefer Oolong to green tea.

Some of the really good tea, you can steep several times. So even though the tea itself is nominally more expensive, the cost of a glass (or gallon) might be cheaper and it's also better tasting.

Also have to go with the Arizona Green tea Cold - not to be confused with Diet Arizona Green tea. We’ve tried many in this house and keep going back to it.

Salada green tea brewed hot and long is OK.
I do not prefer my tea green so It must be made in a pot and this is my favorite brand.

Many green teas are flavored since the delicate taste does not find American coffee lovers able to appreciate the delicate green tea flavor.

Now if you want to talk about white teas or even red.......but nothing beats Black or orange pekoe!

Try Japanese Matcha. It is a powdered green tea (not powdered like Lipton instant)..

My favorite tea is Lapsang Souchong. The tea leaves are smoked over oak fires and it has a wonderful, deep smokey flavor. I use it in cooking as well.

This is my favorite resource:

Best loose tea brand available reasonably widely - Rishi Tea (you can try Jade Cloud, or various Sencha, Bancha or Hojicha types of green tea).

Best tea bag brands are Mighty Leaf (#1), Numi (#2).

You haven't tasted green tea until you have tried Japanese green tea. My personal favorite is Genmai Cha. For less exotic drinking, try Stash Tea's "Fusion." It is a blend of white and green tea and is delicate and very satisfying. I drink numerous cups a day.

Some of the best tasting greee tea in the world is made in Saga prefecture which is right next door to me in Kumamoto . If you’d like to try some let me know . Postage would be just a couple of bucks for a package or two .

Japanese green tea are the best, but they are not cheap.

Shizuoka Prefecture in Japan supplies the best green tea. Go to an Asian market and look for it. Other parts of Japan also have very good green tea. This is not going to be like the green teas mentioned in some of the other replies. This is the real stuff. Many Americans don’t like it because of its strong grassy flavor, but it’s very good.

I live in Japan and drink the stuff regularly, but I don’t fuss too much about different brands. It’s like coffee or black tea. Find a good brand you like and stick with it. Don’t waste money on the really expensive stuff. It’s not that much better.

My personal favorite is a type blended with roasted barley. This gives it a much more robust flavor in my opinion.

I am also a bit of a pervert. All Japanese and most green tea fans will tell you that there is only one way to drink it. Hot and straight. But I personally like a strong cup in the morning with a slug of honey.

Believe me, that will get you moving in short order.
