I’ve been drinking green tea for about a year now. WHat I don’t understand is why they call it “green”. IT always comes out orange in my teapot.

Oolang with a twist of orange in the morning is the equal of coffee in waking me up and starting my day.

My Best Girl was born in Shanghai, now an American citizen. She’s a tea fanatic. Her old friends send her the freshest of green teas. Sha gave me some yesterday that is incredible. Even if you’re buying your loose tea leaves in a Chinatown grocery, it’s most likely over a year old. This stuff she gave me is less than a month old. You don’t know what you’re missin’. And if you’re usin’ teabags? Forget it!

I have also read it is good for the teeth since it contains high natural fluoride content and therefore will prevent plaque buildup.

As a fan of both brewed and iced teas, I have a question. Does anyone here know why is it, when one travels visits the east coast, that is so difficult to find UNSWEETENED bottled iced tea in stores?

Seems to me a "hot" market niche for some entrepreneur.

Here on the West coast, we have Tejava and other brands.

it has no calories

I'm guessing that she isn't a southern gal if she thinks tea has no calories. A cup or two of sugar per gallon will add up to a few calories.

“”As a nutrition scientist, I consider tea as a healthy choice for three reasons: It meets hydration needs, it has no calories and it’s really rich in phytonutrients [plant-based substances] that we know provide some human health benefits,” said Dr. Jeffrey Blumberg, director of the Antioxidants Research Laboratory at Tufts University in Boston, Mass., in a telephone visit.”

That no calorie part ought to keep you going for a long time.

If you make monetary “research” grants to the appropriate scientists, you can get any result you want. Not saying there are no tea benefits, but a lot of these “studies” are biased.

I am a huge fan of Japanese organically grown green tea. I drink a lot of it and I know that I am less prone to illness since I started on it. It seems to really make a difference in any cold or sinus issue. I drink a lot of it and just don’t feel the same without it.
