I have never tried green tea before and never did mom allow me to drink tea always.She said it had little bad effects like feeling drowsy but unable to sleep.So I drink tea if my friends gave it when I went their home but not in my home.
So like one day mom tells me there is green tea which is good for health.So I wanted to get that!! But I couldn't really find that in my locality... or shall I say I didn't try to find where I could really get to buy.
Then yesterday, with my brother, I was able to find a store that sold green tea!! I bought it, yeah but it was expensive.
Evening I told my mom to make me green tea. They say green tea is best without milk and sugar but mom didn't make the green tea like that.She made it just like any other ordinary tea.
To my surprise,I enjoyed it!! And wow, it's awesome!!! The drink and the taste was so addictive and I enjoyed every sip of it and I wanted more. In my life I've drank several drinks for evening snack, coffee,horlicks,boost,ragimalt,badam milk etc. But never did I enjoy any of these like the green tea yesterday........
Note: Green Tea, well tea leaves without fermentation, but in tea it's fermented. That's why green tea is healthier.
What do you think about this? Do you like green tea? What other types of tea have you sipped? Any other drink you like?

I like to drink tea once in a while. Sometimes I get tired of coffee and drink tea for some weeks. I like good teas and drink different ones depending on waht I´m eating. I don´t like it with sugar or milk. I like tea alone or with lemon. They say gree teat is healthy and that it fights cancer. I wouldn´t know. But I like it anyway.

I meant tea and hot water plus lemon or nothing at all (no lemon). I don´t drink tea with milk, sugar or other additives. The drink I have most is coffee, but some people are more fond of tea.

Tea is part of my daily life. at least once a day, I will have a cup of tea with sugar or honey or milk-sugar additional. I only drink general tea even I know that green tea has many benefit. may be because of green tea is bit of more expensive and not always available in store that I visit.several times I want to try the green tea, may be I will try them soon. what about lemon tea, do you ever try the lemon tea?

true, it's the combination from hot water, tea and lemon, you can add little sugar if you don't want it to be much acid. the taste is unique and to know it you have to try it by yourself. I like lemon tea, but not my favourite, I just want it sometimes. it can be more delicious and fresh if you add some ice cubic or drink it in cold water. as I know, lemon tea is also good for health, but green tea is more healthier than lemon tea. hmmm... interisting to try?? you might like it

No, I didn't try lemon tea.. I heard it's made with hot water adding tea and lemon. At my locality, I don't know, we are not used to such tastes, but I do wonder how it tastes. I have a narrow range of tastes, wouldn't like all. Do you like lemon tea?

I drink green tea when i stay in hometown with my mom only. She often wakes up early and make it and then she goes to market to buy food. I wake up later...then just have breakfast and drink green tea with her. I love to put a little bit sugar whenever i drink green tea, it is a bit sweet, bitter, green tea smell...wow...so yummy...

I drink tea every morning and I've tried various tea, I think drinking tea is good for our body healthy but of course everything has limited such as not drinking too much more than drinking mineral water. green tea is rich of antioxidant and i like to drink my green tea without sugar yes the tea will be more effective if we dont add sugar or milk to the tea, it taste bitter but i think the taste is nice.

I drink a lot of tea of various kinds, green tea, black tea, white tea and all kinds of mixtures of them. I do like most green tea, but it depends on the brand. Most tea has caffeine in it and I suspect that's why your mom didn't want you to drink it, but coffee has a lot more caffeine than tea does.
All tea has antioxidants in it, but green tea is higher in them and that's why it's good for you. I don't drink coffee any more because of the caffeine content and I often drink decaffeinated tea.

Caffeine is not the reason mom doesn't want me to drink tea.. In tea, leaves are fermented and that's why it's not so good.. Isn't green tea expensive, I wonder why.. they have to just dry the tea leaves...

Well, my son had given me a packet of green tea, told me to drink in the morning, no sugar, no milk added
, he said it will help me in removing oxidants, and might be helpful for my diabetes neuropathy problems like burning feet/pain and numbness. Though i enjoy drinking normal tea; i took it for 3 months in spite of bitter taste. Sorry it didn't work for me.

Well, green tea is so easy for us to get. This afternoon, we have just got one bag of green tea for each staff from compnay as part of our welfare plan. I drinked green tea before, but I stopped because it always bring thick tea scales on the cup. I am a lazy man, I do not want to wash cup. After my teeth got rotten, I tried them again, they can slow/prevent other teeth from rottening. If I get tired, After I drink tea, some time I am quite sober, but some time I still fall asleep, I think coffee is a better substitute drink against drowsy problem.

But green tea is expensive right? That's very sad, 'cause I like it so much but find it difficult to afford daily, 'cause I don't earn money... I mean green tea is expensive than fermented tea...
so coffee against drowsy problems??

green tea not having a nice taste actually yes it is good for health,your mom is not allowing you to drink tea,try to convence her that if we will do anything not only having tea too much,that is obviously very bad for our health,or if you will take it in limit that will very good for your health trust me.even tea is also good for heath..i hope you satisfied...

But Mom said drinking regular tea always, you get addicted to it, like if you don't drink tea a day during the time you used to drink tea daily, you'll have head ache. Then it's not good no?
I don't want to drink regular tea as it doesn't taste better than coffee.. I like green tea

I love green teat! I always have. Green tea is tea in its purest form. Ergo, it is the most beneficial of all the teas of the camelia sinensis plant. Taste is one of the reasons why I love green tea. Color is another. But the main reason why I love it is it has helped me keep my weight in check.

I myself am a green tea addict. I drink it without milk or sugar.
There is one stipulation though: I must drink it out of one of two very specific cup sets I have.
One cup is a clear glass cup, and the other a white porcelain with blue decorations on it. Out of either of those, green tea tastes delicious!
