Green tea schmeen tea

I'm sorry, I can't do it anymore. I cannot pretend to like green tea. Green tea with mandarin orange. Green tea with peach. Tazo "Envy" Green Tea. I can't stand them. They're terrible. This latest one (Envy) tastes like dirt. Dirt. Yes, I know what dirt tastes like because it tastes like this. I don't care if it's better for you, I would rather die early having enjoyed every cup of tea I drink than live to be 100 miserably drinking this crap.

Get me some Yorkshire Gold and a dollop of heavy whipping cream, stat.

LOL

very well then- dollop away! I have only ever found one or maybe two green teas that I like, so it is certainly an aquired taste!

Aquired by what? Freaky aliens with no taste buds?

Seriously, I have tried to drink this stuff for years now. I found the Tazo brand and thought I'd try it since I like a lot of their other stuff.

*shudder*

I would've felt bad pouring that stuff into the office ivy plant. Although considering the similarites between the so-called "tea" and potting soil, it might not have been a bad idea.

Green tea isn't good for you unless it tastes like dirty dishwater, you know.

I'm with you on that... green and tea are two words that just don't belong together.
Who would ever drink green coffee, for that matter?

It's like "wheatgrass", which is what Food should eat, not me.

Heh heh: I take it that by "Food" you mean "something that actively seeks food, itself, and is not in the plant kingdom."

Mmmm... Food...

That because you are drinking NASTY green tea...I had Rob pick up some of the Tazo and another Trader Joe one when he was out and it was SICK!!! I opened up a bag and figured out why-its powdered...YUCK! like the whipped Japanese green tea powder-ICK!

you need to go to China town with a GOOD tea selection and get WHOLE leaf green tea. The green tea should be light in color and taste faintly of tea but smell great. It should NOT taste like grass LOL. And you need to drink it HOT not tepid. And it is VERY good for you-an average mug is about a cup and 1/2 -so only one "mug" a day is good for you!

If you have any problems finding the whole leaf stuff-lemme know.
