Chai and other teas with antioxidants

went to the com misery yesterday and since I had such a disappointment with my go at green tea I decided to pick up some Chai tea. This is from Bigelow, I could not decide which brand, I have no idea. The box says Spiced Chai, that sounded intriguing to me. but now I see the top of the box reads "Traditional Chai is served with milk and sweetener" The idea of milk and/or sweetener kind of yanks my gag reflex.

I have recently developed a taste for hot green tea and am having at least one cup per day. I have pretty much quit drinking coffee. I have been experimenting with other tea flavors such as peppermint, chamomille and lemon. I have been meaning to try Chai tea and just haven't picked any Chai up at the store. Many people have told me that I will probably love the Chai tea once I taste it. Your description of it sounds heavenly, as I love ginger and cinnamon! My reason for drinking tea is that I enjoy the warmth and good taste, but I also love knowing that it has powerful antioxidants!

I generally stick to the regular teas, but am thinking on getting into decaf and green tea, since i want to lose some weight. I also want to just strictly start drinking 6-8 glasses of water a day since this flushes out your system naturally of impurities too. some of the other ingredients of specialty teas i am not sure of or have to check out because of medication that i need to take, so as it may not interfere.

White tea is even higher in anti-oxidants than green tea, so I try to drink a cup of it a day. I've found a brand that does white tea with vanilla that's really nice (I'm a big vanilla fan though!) Chai is lovely too. Especially in the winter months as it's really warming.
