I've always enjoyed the tea at Chinese food restaurants
Ping.
I live in Arizona and drink the ice Tazo Lemon Grass tea a green tea. I buy it at the local Safeway store. I love it and drink at least a gallon of it per day. Seems to help with prostate too.
Bookmarked.
Peppermint tea made a major difference to me. It worked better than the simethicone tablets as well as easing constipation. The bags are worthless, I had my best luck with a rounded tablespoon, steeped, of the peppermint grown in my yard and dried in the attic.
Ten Ren has outlets in Chinatowns like those in Chicago and San Franciso, where their teas can be sampled. That's where I got them before the internet.
Before Grace Tea was on the internet, I would see them occasionally in gourmet stores.
I drink the sugar free Arizona Green Tea with Ginseng by the gallon. About a gallon a week. I wonder if that qualifies?
I’d love to find the white tea that comes as whole leaves in those little gold packets.
The Simplest Health Habit You Should Start Today...
Stop reading health articles.
Another one’s gonna come out next week that says just the opposite anyways.
Found some nice stainless steel infusiers (sp?) at iherb.com for loose teas.

Figure out what tea you’re looking for with the link above.
If you’re near an Asian grocery store, stop in, they most likely will have that particular tea on the shelf - just in case local restaurants run out from their suppliers.
Or ask that grocery store workers, they’ll most likely tell you before a restaurant, they want you to buy from them and not a restaurant.
[Peppermint tea made a major difference to me. ]
The unfortunate part of peppermint, or any mint tea is that it causes reflux in a lot of people, as it relaxes the sphincter muscle in the esophagus.
And I can’t drink green tea or any kind of tea at all due to caffeine sensitivity. I’m actually sensitive to a lot of herbs and dried leaf products, too. Any blanket statement that all people should do something is false. Not everything works the same way for all people. Some people are immune to ill effects; others are hypersensitive.
That’s probably related to why it’s so good for gas and constipation, relaxing muscles.

Sounds like Christian Broadcasting Network got a big check from the tea industry to publish this...
The tea in Chinese restaurants is usually an Oolong tea.
Well, the studies were not done here so that is always a plus.
LOL I think the high fructose corn syrup diminishes some good properties according to the article. FCS really messes me up. Low blood sugar.
First sentence: “it might be a habit worth starting.”
middle of article: “WARNING: Consult the Expert First”
Trust the FDA instead. In fact, trust Merck! Just get a prescription. Be sure to watch for drug interactions and side effects at drugs.com.
Better yet, go to the VA and get all the meds you want.
Actually, I’m a middle of the roader and holistic. Body, mind, soul, heart, although I have learned that the mind and heart have neurons in common.
